Last "affordable high-end" power amplifier for Technics before the ultimate SE-A7000 ver.4.
Nothing completely new here, just the penultimate formula refinement which started out with the successful SE-A3, by way of the SE-A3MK2, the monster SE-A1, SE-A4, SE-A4MK2, SE-A5 and SE-A100.

Tradition at Technics, the over-sized meters which were a staple and remain to this day, the most sexy meters ever (if a VU-meter can be sexy that is).

Despite Technics recent disappearance, Panasonic still has very detailed technical pages about the evolution of all of its past preamps and power amps since the 1960s beginnings - for how long ?
