Hi Everybody,

I have been offered a pair of Threshold SA/1 "Limited Edition"in black and was wondering if someone could give some more information about these amps .

Is there anything special about the "Special Edition", technically speaking ?

Thanks in advance to all,

Max

No, all S/1000, S/1000 series II, SA/1 and SA/1 optical bias stated 'Limited Edition' on their fronts. Pure marketing but the price of 6 ~ 7K USD in the eighties made them pretty limited I guess.

My last statement was partially incorrect.
As far as I know now the S/1000 and S/1000 Series II stated 'Limited Production' on theire fronts. The SA/1 and all other Thresholds from that era stated 'Hand Crafted'.
The offer is/was an updated S/1000 Series II with the front- top and backplate also updated.
The S/1000 and SA/1 compare to each other as a S/1600 and SA/12 and a X-600 and a XA-160. Same hardware but outputstage bridged or in a massive parallel configuration.
