“Unknown” condition is the only real drawback here, but at US$800 the price is fair rather than ambitious. It matches the recent comparable median exactly and sits comfortably within the observed US$788–US$825 range, so the value depends mainly on whether the amplifier is demonstrably healthy and complete.
The SV-500 remains an appealing hybrid integrated: its tube input stage brings some valve character, while the solid-state output section delivers a useful 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 80 watts into 4 ohms. It also offers four analog inputs, optical and coaxial digital inputs, a built-in DAC, pre-out, and user-replaceable tubes. Confirm clean operation, quiet switching, both channels, remote control, and the original tubes before buying; if those check out, US$800 is a sensible enthusiast-to-enthusiast price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
