HIFI Rose RA280 // Demo / Integrated Amplifier / 250wpc

SOLD , now part of a Private Collection $3,395
The HiFi Rose RA280 is the kind of integrated amp that blurs the line between cutting-edge tech and pure musicality. Packing 250 watts of Class AD power per channel, it combines next-gen speed and control with a surprisingly natural, analog-like warmth. The industrial design is sleek and modern, with that signature HiFi Rose style—clean lines, solid build, and a premium feel that matches its performance. As a distributor demo unit, this piece has been gently showcased but not abused, meaning you get near-new condition with the bonus of real-world break-in. If you’re looking for an amp that delivers authority, finesse, and a touch of future-forward flair, the RA280 is a serious contender.

Liner Notes

The HiFi Rose RA280 Integrated Amplifier exemplifies the seamless blend of advanced technology and elegant design, crafted to deliver an unparalleled audio experience. Building on the legacy of its predecessor, the RA180, this new model integrates the revolutionary Advanced Class D amplification technology to offer both high efficiency and superior sound quality.

The RA280 stands out with its two completely separated mono amplifier modules, each delivering 250 W (4 Ω and 8 Ω) to the left and right channels, for a total of 500 W in stereo mode. HiFi Rose’s advanced two-stage analog filter technology ensures top-tier sound quality. The LC filter provides exceptional frequency response, with -1 dB attenuation up to 65 kHz and -3 dB up to 85 kHz, effectively reducing carrier noise from Class D amplifiers. This results in pristine, detailed sound, enhanced spatial resolution, and a natural analog feel.
