Hi Everyone,

Up for sale is my beloved Woo WES. I've enjoyed it and the BHSE together for quite some time, but I'm looking to purchase the Shangri-La Sr, so something has to give lol. I have had it for 2-3 years and I believe the owner before was the initial owner, but cannot find him in my PM thread. Not sure how many hours he put on it, but I've only put about 150hrs on it due to the split duty with the BSHE and my dynamic rig. Never intended on selling it, as it's really good, which is why I've owned the BHSE and it both for so long.

It is in excellent condition, with no noticeable marks or issues. I paid $3000 via local pickup, and even though it's still in the exact same condition, I think around that price is still a bit high. That said, selling for $2600 shipped, ConUS only.





More pics upon request!

Quick impressions vs. BHSE:

Just did some A/B testing this past weekend and my opinions have not changed a bit lol. Both are really good amps with top of the line sound. The BHSE is slightly more open, resolving and transparent, while the Woo has slightly more weight, slam and warmth to the sound while still having quite impressive resolution. Very easy way to think of it is as if the BHSE is SS amp and the Woo a more traditional tube amp. I'd rank the BHSE slightly higher overall due to the resolution, but that does come at about a $2k premium and it's not $2k better at all. The Woo is an absolute value winner. Ultimately, both really good.

Expecting that this will take quite a while to sale, given it's electrostatic and a beast of an amp. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions or even if you have a different offer figure in mind. :)

I'm awaiting a response from Woo Audio, but given my timeline of ownership as a second owner, I believe it is.

edit* just got the same date from Woo that I was aware of. Based on that alone, I would say it's very likely a Gen 1. I've had a few people ask about that, so wanted to mention. And again, any reasonable offers will be considered.

$200 price drop. :)

Think that's about as low as I can go given how much it's going to cost me to ship this thing via UPS. If it doesn't sell in a week or two, will likely trade in to Woo for another amp. So let me know if you're interested. Also, if anyone is in the Oakland/Greater Bay Area, I'm definitely open to local pickup lol
