Detta är en produkt från Sony´s premium sortiment och väger därefter Ca 18 kg; alltså ej från början någon billighetsmodell som väger lätt.. Förstärkaren fungerar utmärkt utan skrap i diverse kontroller etc och är kraftig nog i strömkapacitet och watt för att driva flertalet högtalare! Mycket välljudande med en varm rund tonbalans liknande Marantz, HK mfl. Jag har haft den på service efter att jag köpte den för ett par år sedan , så den är alltså genomgången för att s
At kr 3,300, this sits well above the usual used market for this kind of Sony piece in your database: the median is kr 1,134, the 75th percentile is kr 2,279, and this asking price is clearly ambitious. Compared with a typical alternative at this budget, you’d normally expect either a much cheaper unit or a higher-tier amplifier that’s been more recently vetted.
The upside is that this model is part of Sony’s respected ES-era integrated amp line, which buyers often like for its sturdy build, neutral-leaning sound, and long-term serviceability if it has been cared for. If it’s truly clean and original, there is some appeal in the age, but at kr 3,300 I’d want strong proof of condition: quiet pots, solid relay behavior, no channel imbalance, and no history of repairs before treating it as a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
