This one’s old enough that timing matters a bit: the SRM-006t has been superseded in Stax’s tube-amp line, so you’re buying a respected older generation rather than the latest thing. At A$1,051, it sits just above the A$1,012 median and well inside the A$932 to A$1,394 recent range, so this reads as a fair-market ask rather than a bargain or an overreach.
That said, it’s a worthwhile piece if you want the classic Stax tube sound—clean, spacious, a touch of warmth, and a very good partner for Lambda and other earspeakers. The upside here is that the price is sensible for a known-good model, and if the unit is tidy with healthy tubes and the right power supply details, it’s an easy enthusiast buy. I’d still confirm tube age, channel balance, and whether it’s been serviced, since older electrostatic amps are best bought with those basics checked.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Stax traces its origins to 1938 in Tokyo, Japan, when Naotake Hayashi founded Showa Kouon Co., Ltd. in Chiyoda-ku. Initially focused on wax disc recording, metal master production, and audio equipment for film soundtracks, the company evolved through the postwar era. In 1950, it launched its first high-frequency condenser microphone, adopted by NHK, and renamed itself STAX Co., Ltd. in 1963, honoring its pioneering Stax-1 mic. A brief suspension in 1995 due to economic pressures gave way to revival, preserving its legacy under family leadership.
The brand specializes in electrostatic headphones, known as "EARSPEAKERS," debuting with the world-first SR-1 in 1960. This innovation spawned enduring lines like the SR series, produced for decades with incremental refinements for superior resolution and staging. Stax complements these with dedicated electrostatic amplifiers and select accessories, eschewing conventional speakers, turntables, DACs, or cables to hone its transducer expertise.
Stax commands a niche high-end position among audiophiles and professionals, revered for unmatched transparency and fidelity that rivals cost-no-object loudspeakers. Its 85-year heritage cements it as a boutique icon in electrostatic technology, far from mass-market fare, appealing to discerning buyers seeking pinnacle sonic transduction.
