Threshold monoblocks


Hello,

Does anybody knows something about the SA 10e first hand? Is it better than the SA/1? 

Someone is selling one for $5300,- would you buy it? I have a matching fet 10e.

Or would you wait for a SA/1? Or buy a cheaper SA /4e?

Or run for a pass aleph?


Any insight would be helpfull.

Hello Jouri,

The SA/10e monoblocks were the last designs of Nelson Pass before he left Threshold, circa 1990-1994. 175 wpc Class A Stasis monoblocks.

Here is a link: http://www.threshold-audio.com/discontinued.html

As to whether or not I would buy them, that would depend on the condition.  Being ~ 25 years old, they are due to be re-capped, if they have not been re-capped already.

If they have already been re-capped, I think they would be a good buy.
If they haven't been re-capped, I would probably avoid them unless the price came down enough to make me interested again.

Great amps, still can hang with the best out there today. Just make sure that their maintenance is up to par. That goes for any older amp that you are considering buying.

Cheers,
John
Hi John,

Thanks for the info! The owner said that he recapped in 2010 and that the monoblocks are not in use anymore since 2015. 

They look in pristine condition *drool*

Are your T400's still working?
