Threshold monoblocks

Hi John,

Thanks for the info! The owner said that he recapped in 2010 and that the monoblocks are not in use anymore since 2015. 

They look in pristine condition *drool*

Are your T400's still working?

how much is the used Aleph?


I don't know what kind of caps he put in there. The Aleph is already gone


I do know he' s a collector, with lots of STASIS amps.

My gf is ampblocking .... Hope i can persuade her.... So close

It’s a 275 watts in 8 ohm class A monster. I received it with original boxes and manuel from the first owner. All i know was that they (higher fidelity) were used as reference monoblocks by image hifi magazine. Some German hifi magazine in the 90’s.

The seller was slimming down his setup (integrated amp). He played with JBL Everest speakers and stated that they were the absolute best amps he ever heard. He used to own SA-1’s for 5 years but sold them as the Higer Fidelity were much better. He says that the only amp that played in the same league (and didn’t bested it) was a Gryphon Antilleon Evo. That last part won me over.

All i can say is, he wasn’t bullshitting. I’m nervous to put on a cd :) What is going to happen? Music listening becomes music feeling. I’m just transfixed on the couch. Especially live music. It matches perfectly with the fet 10e soundwise! Like they were made for each other.

My tech is going to look them over thoroughly soon, and they will get a full recap next year or sooner. These baby’s are not going anywhere!

Price was $2950 :) total :)

I believe the company is from the USA. But the products were exported to Germany & Hong Kong.

Angstrom loudspeakers is connected somehow. I guess the old owner was also responsible for Higher Fidelity
