Sanders Sound Systems Magtech Power Amplifier Effortless power from this amp. Lots of information online from the links below.I have had it for a couple of years having purchased it online from this forum. I did think that some Magnapans or a set of Sanders speakers may be in my future. An upcoming house move necessitates culling of equipment. If circumstances change I certainly would seriously consider buying the same again.From Sanders website.http://www.sanderssoundsystems.com/products/amplifiers/magtech-amp I have the original packaging so can ship at buyers risk and cost.http://www.sander
Compared with buying a new high-current amp at this level, A$4,900 looks like a solid used buy rather than a stretch. New Magtech pricing has sat around A$10,800 equivalent, and clean used examples overseas tend to land roughly in the A$5,800–A$6,500 zone once converted, so this listing is a bit under typical market and looks fair-to-good if it’s genuinely tidy.
That’s a strong choice if you want serious power and control, especially for demanding speakers or electrostatics. The Magtech is well regarded for its stable, effortless delivery, wide bandwidth, and quiet background, so it’s the kind of amp that can anchor a system for years. At this price, I’d mainly want confirmation of condition, original box/manual, and that the unit has been checked recently; otherwise it reads as an appealing, enthusiast-grade purchase.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sanders Sound Systems is an American high-end audio company founded by Roger Sanders in Colorado, with roots in his long work on electrostatic loudspeaker design dating back to the 1970s. Sanders is best known as an electrostatic specialist rather than a broad-line consumer brand, and his early writing and engineering work helped shape modern thinking around ESL loudspeakers.
The company’s core products are electrostatic loudspeakers, hybrid speakers, and matching amplification, especially its Magtech and ESL amplifiers. Sanders has also focused on the practical problems that have long limited electrostatics, including bass extension, output, dispersion, and reliability. The result is a relatively small catalog built around system matching rather than one-off “lifestyle” audio products.
In the market, Sanders Sound Systems sits firmly in the niche boutique to upper high-end tier. It is respected among serious audiophiles who value transparency, detail, and electrostatic speed, especially those willing to commit to a specialized speaker-and-amplifier ecosystem. This is not a mass-market brand, but a technically credible one with a strong identity and a loyal enthusiast following.
