£3,500 is ambitious versus the recent used market: it sits above the £3,097 75th percentile and well over the £2,664 median, so you’d want something notably strong to justify it.
That said, this is a respected integrated with a lot of current-drive grip, proper authority, and the sort of control that suits revealing speakers and mixed-source systems. If the unit is genuinely clean and complete, the upside is in getting BAT’s big, saturated sound without jumping to separates. At £3,500, though, I’d want evidence of careful ownership, recent servicing if applicable, and all original extras before calling it a straightforward buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
