I think the best purchase for Stax is either original low bias Lambda or SR-X Mark III. The more recent models (except Omega) are not as enjoyable as there is a bit too much emphasis on treble. Then you can pair it with a normal bias amp such as SRM-1 or SRM-313. The total set up can probably be had for under $500.
Buying second hand stuff off ebay is always a gamble, so make sure to ask questions - but most units last decades if not mistreated - the Lambda Signature I took out at the end of the meet was 20 years old.
