If you're willing to pay a small fee, you can get a price history of what the 5SE (and any other unit) has sold for on Audiogon. You didn't say what the claimed condition of the unit listed was.

I think the price is high. Seems to me $5500-$6000 is what they are worth depending on condition.

I thought so also but it depends how long I want to wait. Of course prices will be under pressure to come down now that the release of the Ref 6SE has arrived.

I rather have a Ref 6 and if I wait more than 2 months I'm sure I will head in that direction.
