Technics SE-A5
The record barely touches the Technics SE-A5. The SE prefix and a clearly documented successor, the SE-A5MK2, indicate it was a power amplifier in Technics' SE series. Its own specifications haven't surfaced in the available sources.
What does exist is a period review of the MK2. HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (June 1984, p.55) described the SE-A5MK2 as a 150-watt-per-channel amplifier at $800. The review credited Technics' Power Linear Circuit with compensating for low-impedance conditions. It also noted that Class A biasing accounted for the amplifier's substantial size and weight, because of heat dissipation. The original SE-A5 itself is not covered in it.
Known details:
- Technics SE-series power amplifier
- Successor: SE-A5MK2 — 150W/ch, $800 (per HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers, June 1984, p.55)
