Has someone compared these two amps?
SA/4 is for me the best choice but... what sonic differences with SA/2 monoblocks? Is changing an upgrade or a downgrade?
Cheers

Well, I listened a SA/4e many years ago and I loved it so much.
Now at last I've found one, but once I've found a pair of sa/2 almost half the price of the SA/4e. Unfortunately I haven't the opportunity to listen them...
But if their sound and their characteristics are equal to SA/4e the problem is already solved!
Another thing: how do the two units to be very similar if between them there are about ten years apart.
Thanks for the clarifications

I didn't say equal. I said similar.
They are different in details, mostly front end, and of course
the SA2's are monoblocks.

My SA2s are wonderful. I don't think you can go wrong with a pair of Sa2s or SA1s. These were and are still fantastic music movers.
For converting the SA/2s contact either:
Jon Soderberg <vintageamp@comcast.net>
or
Threshold Audio, Inc. <support@thresholdaudio.com>
Either will provide you a price (should be around $500 for the conversion only).
I would also state the age of the AMPS as they probably need some upgrading and/or overhauling. If you have them overhauled (recommended), it may cost between $750 and $1,200 and that price may include the conversion (good deal).
I strongly suggest having the upgrade done as it brings the AMPS to at least the original spec.
But contact either POC and they will take good care of your SA/2s.
Good Luck.
