Sonic Frontiers Power 2 SE opinions please.


l was hoping for some advice from current/past owners of the SF Power 2. l live in Australia and have found a Power 2SE with KT88's for sale for US$2700 that is really tempting.

My speakers are efficent (96db) but dip to 2 ohms and have a nominal impedance of 3 ohms. Fortunatley the Power 2 has a 2ohm tap.

How good is the amp,and what would you compare it to value wise? Am l correct that SF gone out of business? Could l do better for the same money?

Cheers Mondie

Neutral, detailed, well built. Not a warm-ish tube sound. Sonic Frontiers is no more, but at least some of the same staff are at Parts Connection in Canada (I may not be spelling it right). It's difficult to predict how any amp will deal with such low impedences without trying it. You should receive a substantial discount for the fact that SF is no longer in business. SE is the special edition with upgraded parts and upgraded (original) tubes.
