I have a friend with two SAE Mark 25/2500 power amps that he's looking to part with. Supposedly one is working, the other is not; he got these as part of a trade many years ago.
The specs are:
300 watts at 8 ohms
450 watts at 4 ohms
The cool thing I just discovered is that they have sequential serial numbers (25-00316 and 25-00317). A bunch of the bulbs are burned out on both units (#47 bayonet style) and the bottom amp has a broken binding post. They do need a bit of cleaning, but the good news is that both units power on.
He also gave me a new old stock PS Audio 4.6 Preamplifier, still in the original packaging. It's quite a handsome piece of equipment, I am hoping to use that when I get my 2105 back from jblmar.
Any idea on what these guys could be worth, or opinions regarding the sound? I know the SAE amps will need some work, but they're monsters! SAE really did make some great gear, the build quality is impressive on these units.
