About Perreaux

Who we are

From small beginnings in 1974, PERREAUX quickly transformed into a New Zealand export success story. 

Founded in Napier, New Zealand by electronics guru Peter Perreaux with a $1000 investment. The first product to market was the now legendary "GS 2002", an integrated Class A transistor Hi Fi amplifier capable of an impressive albeit modest 22W per channel.

The initial success of this rugged, reliable solid-state amplifier prompted further developments of PERREAUX's  product offering and lead to the release of high quality preamplifiers, power amplifiers and loudspeakers into both the audiophile and professional audio markets.

New Zealands PERREAUX quickly set the standard for power, performance and personality – at concert halls and in the homes of discerning home music lovers everywhere.
