Which Threshold s are best?

Just wondering for those of you up on Thresholdif one were looking for a vintage piece which Threshold to look for?I assume one made while Mr.Pass ran the show.Thinking more than 100 maybe 150 to 300 a side.Also thoughts if any about the licence he gave Nakamichi to build their Stasis 100 and 200 wpc amps.Can they deliver on the cheap?Are there problem amps to avoid?
Thanks

I can tell you my opinion.I owned a Threshold ( new purchase)a S/300 sereis 2 for many years of trouble free operation. Great peice no hassles.Very non-solid state sound.One of the best of the best! I would definately recommend the S-series.In my opinion this was the best of the Nelson Pass efforts.They were also built to last a lifetime.....Hope that helps

I believe that the SA series, made in the mid 80's were the best amps made by Threshold when Nelson Pass was in control. Pure Class A. The SA3 a 50 watt model was outstanding and the SA1 mono's are a classic. They still cost 3K+ if you can even find them on the used market. The S500 was a great AB amp if you needed a lot of power.
