I had the SE84UFO for about two years before getting SE84UFO3 Monoblocks with 25th anniversary mods. I hear more of everything in comparison. Extension, detail, soundstage is much wider and deeper. Bass is next level. Overall it very much is an overall upgrade in sound bringing you closer to the recording or venue.

There is a lot information on these forums regarding both amps. Steve has provided a lot of information and I believe JOMAN even started with the SE84UFO2 and upgraded to the SE84UFO25.

Here are some threads to get you started:

That’s correct, I did start with an SE84UFO2 w/backlit meters. Great amp, really liked it, you can see some of my posts.

IMO you really can’t compare the SE84UFO2 to the SE84UFO25 because the SE84UFO2-25 is at a different level. It’s like comparing GREAT to EXTRAORDINARY. And now that I’ve got the Philips GZ34 Metal Base in it, I’m totally wrecked Cool

.

If the budget allows go for the UFO25.

The 25 is more than twice the price. I will give it a bit more thought, but I guess that I have to go with the 25, otherwise I will always be wondering what I am missing. UGH!

Steve Deckert Administrator If the 1st watt sucks why continue?

Even at over twice the price, we understand that it will come under much harder scrutiny but even at that we know it will still make you feel like you didn't pay enough for what you actually got.
