This is well below the 25th percentile, so the timing isn’t really the issue; at £22 it reads as a clear bargain against a recent comparable spread of £55 to £92 and a £89 median. For a decent example, that’s the sort of number that usually disappears quickly.
The upside here is that this is a respected late-era Denon integrated with the kind of smooth, competent sound people buy these for: good drive, sensible phono-era ergonomics, and enough refinement to make a solid small-to-medium system anchor. If it’s clean, working properly, and not missing the remote or original controls, this is exactly the kind of inexpensive amplifier worth grabbing; the only real buy-side check is that all inputs, the volume pot, and protection relay are behaving as they should.

Denon traces its origins to 1910, when American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn founded Japan's first audio equipment company, Nipponophone, initially focused on gramophones and records. The Denon brand emerged in 1939 from the merger of Japan Denki Onkyo—combining "den" for electricity and "on" for sound—with other entities, marking a shift toward professional audio development. This heritage includes pioneering Japan's first professional disc recorder in 1945, used to capture Emperor Hirohito's voice, and launching the nation's first long-playing records in 1951.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, from amplifiers, turntables, and tuners to loudspeakers, cassette decks, and phono cartridges. Denon's innovations extend to digital frontiers, such as the world's first practical PCM recorder in the early 1970s, the inaugural CD player in 1981, and early home theater systems with Dolby Digital in 1995. Today, its lineup encompasses AV receivers, headphones, wireless streaming solutions like HEOS, and high-channel processors, blending professional-grade components with consumer accessibility.
Denon holds a commanding position as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the hi-fi market, revered for its blend of technological firsts, robust build quality, and balanced sound signatures that appeal to discerning enthusiasts. No longer a vintage collector's niche, it competes confidently against premium rivals, backed by over a century of audio leadership and strategic partnerships like its merger with Marantz.
