Amerikanskt muskelsteg av rang säljes. Fint skick. Ett av SAE:s bästa steg Imho. Driver allt. Amerikaimport så 120V. Använder själv en 1500 VA omvandlare som är knäpptyst. Vid köp utan prut o dyl kan den levereras med. Skickas ej pga vikt. Kan däremot levereras inom en 10-milsradie mot drivmedelsersättning. https://www.hifi-classic.net/review/sae-2401-264.html
This is a buyer’s market if the amp is healthy, because kr 8,000 SEK looks attractively low for a SAE 2401. Comparable used listings and vintage-audio references for this model suggest a typical asking band closer to the low five figures in SEK, so this sits on the bargain side rather than the ambitious side.
The 2401 is a respected high-power vintage stereo amp: big reserve, authoritative grip, and the kind of relaxed dynamics that make older SAE gear appealing to enthusiasts. At this price, the upside is strong if it’s complete and stable: verify both channels, no protection issues, and that any original cosmetic pieces are present, but a clean, working example at kr 8,000 SEK is the sort of listing worth moving on quickly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# SAE (Scientific Audio Electronics)
Scientific Audio Electronics emerged from Los Angeles in 1968 when Morris Kessler partnered with Ted Winchester and Beth Winchester to pursue an ambitious goal: building the world's finest audio amplifier. Kessler had been designing and hand-building amplifiers since the early 1960s, and the partnership formalized his vision into a commercial enterprise. The company operated through the 1980s, establishing itself as a significant player in the golden age of solid-state hi-fi before ceasing operations in 1988.
SAE built its reputation almost exclusively on power amplifiers, introducing the Mark 2—a 60-watt solid-state design that earned comparison to the legendary Marantz Model 9 tube amplifier in Stereophile magazine. Beyond amplifiers, the company pioneered several audio innovations, including the world's first graphic equalizer, the first digital read-out tuner, and the first phonograph pop-and-click filter. These products reflected SAE's engineering-forward philosophy and commitment to advancing high-fidelity technology.
SAE occupies a revered position in vintage hi-fi collecting and audio history. During the 1970s, the company was synonymous with high-end solid-state amplification, competing directly with established names like McIntosh, Marantz, Pioneer, and Sansui. Their equipment commanded premium pricing—a complete SAE rack system retailed for $6,000, equivalent to a top-tier Cadillac. Today, SAE remains a collector's brand, remembered by audiophiles as a legitimate innovator that produced musically open and refined components during hi-fi's most formative era.
