At €1,190, this sits below the €1,228 25th percentile, so it reads as a strong deal versus the recent used market in EUR. Against a €1,429 median and €1,539 75th percentile, it is priced attractively enough to justify moving quickly if the unit is clean and functioning as described.
That’s appealing because Stax energizer-style amps are bought for their speed, clarity, and drive, and this is the kind of component that can still anchor a serious electrostatic setup if it’s been well cared for. The upside is especially good if it’s original-owner, unmodified, and includes the right cable and accessories; at this price, a tidy example is very buyable.

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.
