Stax SRM 700T Electrostatic Headphone Energiser Hello friends, this amplifier was purchased at the beginning of this year and was used very little. If anyone is interested, you can test it with a headphone you have. Thanks 🤞 Condition: Used Payment Method: Cash osko Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Guest 0 Comments AUD $3,800 Date: June 10, 20241 yr
A$3,800 is a bit above the going used level for this one, since clean examples have been showing up around A$3,500 to A$3,650, while a new-retail anchor sits at about A$5,300 in Australia-equivalent terms. That makes this more “fair-to-slightly-ambitious” than a steal, especially with condition still unknown.
What keeps it interesting is that the SRM-700T is a well-regarded hybrid electrostatic driver: quiet, refined, and spacious, with enough tube flavor to suit Stax ears without losing speed or control. If it’s genuinely clean, includes the right Stax connector setup and original box/papers, and the tubes are healthy, it remains a strong buy for someone building or upgrading a serious estat chain.
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.
