A$687 is a strong buy: it sits just under the A$708 median of your 8 recent AUD comparables and comfortably below the A$1,923 75th percentile, so this is priced in the bargain-to-fair zone rather than anything ambitious. Against the A$544 25th percentile, it is not a deep outlier, but it is still cheap enough to look attractive for a serious buyer.
That makes it worth chasing if the unit is clean and working, because older Perreaux power amps are typically valued for robust build, substantial power delivery, and an easy, unforced presentation that suits efficient speakers and tough loads. The upside is best if the listing includes proof of service, original packaging, or a careful owner history; with a unit of this age, a quick check of relay behavior, channel balance, heat, and any hum is the sensible buy-side due diligence.

Perreaux traces its roots to 1974, when Peter Perreaux founded the company in the small New Zealand town of Napier. From humble beginnings with the legendary GS 2002 Class A integrated amplifier, it quickly gained traction through meticulous design and handcrafted quality, expanding exports to Australia and the Americas by the late 1970s. Relocating to Dunedin in 2005, Perreaux has upheld its Kiwi heritage, blending innovation—like early MOSFET adoption in the SA80B power amp—with a commitment to superior sound reproduction.
The brand specializes in high-end hi-fi components, renowned for amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems that prioritize refined circuitry and rock-solid build quality. Its lineup also encompasses loudspeakers and select audio electronics, all hand-assembled with custom-selected parts, including bespoke transistors. Perreaux avoids mass-market diversification into turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing instead on core amplification and playback excellence.
Positioned firmly in the audiophile high-end market, Perreaux commands respect for its reliability, longevity, and uncompromised performance, distributed in over 30 countries. Collectors and discerning buyers value its vintage appeal alongside modern, future-proof designs, distinguishing it as a boutique powerhouse that outpaces competitors through precision engineering and timeless craftsmanship.
