Angeboten wird „AW 400 High-End Endstufen Mono AMP“ von Electrocompaniet als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Endverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 968101290 endet am 24.08.2026 um 06:19 Uhr.
This €7,999 asking price for a single Electrocompaniet AW400 monoblock is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the typical used market range of roughly €8,500–€10,000 per unit derived from recent listings and historical data. Even accounting for the 2017 Australian listing of €12,000 (ono) for a pair, which translates to about €6,000 per unit, the current price reflects strong value for a clean, original-owner example in good condition, making it an excellent buying opportunity rather than a fair deal.
The AW400 remains highly regarded for its fast, clean, full-bodied, and inherently musical sound, delivering 400W of powerful dynamics into 8 Ohms with a massive 650 VA transformer and 150,000uF current reservoir. Its timing is ideal given the model’s rarity and the absence of a direct modern replacement at this price-performance level, offering significant upside for buyers seeking reference-level solid-state power without new-audio premiums. With no common failure points noted for this line and a clean listing, this represents a rare chance to acquire a well-loved, high-performance monoblock at a price that celebrates the deal’s excellence.

Electrocompaniet: Norwegian Heritage in High-End Audio
Electrocompaniet was founded in 1973 by Per "Abe" Abrahamsen, a Norwegian engineer and musician who co-created the company alongside broadcaster and producer Svein Erik Børja. The brand emerged from a vision to build transistor amplifiers based on the theoretical work of Finnish researcher Dr. Matti Otala. From its inception, Electrocompaniet has remained rooted in Norway, with design, assembly, and component sourcing centered in the Stavanger region. This commitment to local manufacturing and Norwegian engineering principles continues to define the company's identity and sonic character more than five decades later.
The brand is recognized primarily for power amplifiers and integrated amplifiers, which established its reputation beginning with the acclaimed 25-watt amplifier of the 1970s. Electrocompaniet's product portfolio has expanded to include CD players, streamers, turntables, and speakers—all classified by the company as "fine audio instruments" designed to reproduce music with natural fidelity. Each component is manufactured in Norway and exported to over fifty countries worldwide, reflecting the company's commitment to maintaining production standards and quality control at home.
Electrocompaniet occupies the high-end audio market, earning respect among discerning audiophiles, recording engineers, and major studios for nearly five decades. The brand is positioned as Norway's largest manufacturer of premium hi-fi equipment, with a legacy built on technical excellence and sonic purity rather than mass-market appeal. Despite ownership changes and industry challenges, Electrocompaniet continues to release flagship products under technical leadership trained by founder Abrahamsen, maintaining its standing as a serious contender in the luxury audio segment.
