Offered is „SRM 700S Kopfhörerverstärker - optional im SET mit STAX SR-009S Silver Kopfhörer“ by STAX as new device from the category „Headphone Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8165962271 ends on 20.12.2026 at 15:20 o'clock.
The SR-009S remains one of Stax’s most accomplished earspeakers, and at €2,995 it is a strong deal against the used market. The 42-listing benchmark puts the median at €3,647, with the lower quartile at €3,071, so this sits below even the 25th percentile—an unusually attractive price if the condition and provenance are sound.
Its appeal is the effortless electrostatic speed, exceptional transparency, airy separation, and superb comfort for long sessions. It also delivers more convincing, textured bass than earlier top Stax models, while retaining the line’s famous delicacy and resolution. Just remember that it requires a suitable Stax energizer, and its presentation favors refinement and detail over physical slam. With the right amplifier and a complete, clean example, this looks like a genuine buying opportunity rather than merely a fair listing.

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.
