Is anybody able to tell me the value of a pair of SA6?

Thank you
Michele

Not sure what they are worth , but it is surely a fine set of amp's.
Check Ebay and see what they are sold for.
They were produced from 1990-1994 and I am not sure if NP had left the company at that time. Nevertheless, the Stasis amps are great.

Me thinks NP had already left the stage before the SA/6e was released.

MSRP of the monaurals was around 10% more than the comparable stereo Threshold model.
The 100W monaural SA/2e did ~$7K/set in the US around 1990, and in the EC the equivalent of ~€10K.
The SA/6e shares the chassis of the SA/2e, same 800VA size toroid, identical size output stage.
Different is the big can size, the SA/6e has twice the 60KuF/Ch. of the SA/2e.

Asking price for a mint condition SA/2e is likely somewhere around €4.5K, also some 10% more than what to expect for the SA/4e stereo model, i'd estimate the SA/6e to fetch a somewhat lower price.
Add some bumps and scratches, and it's down the hill you go.

If they were produced 1990 or 91, then I was still there.

Gotcha.

The '89/'90 drawings of the S-series that Mr Pass was so kind to share includes the SA/6e, two driver-output stages are operated in parallel in the SA/6e.
Send word if you'd like to have the files, Michelle.

Thank you jacco, i hope the capacitors are ok. Do you think I can offer 3000/3500 euro?

I have recently (12 months) bought a pair of SA/6e in France.

You have to know that the SA/6e are extremely rare in Europe because of an original selling price that was stratospheric... (due to the European importer). I have bought them for 5k€ whereas the seller asked 6k€.

I would bet that it is possible for you to find a pair of them < 5k$ in the States.

Good luck,
