I now have infinite power

Or nearly infinite. So much headroom for activities.

They even had receipts from a recent service checkup. He was also selling the matching preamp, but I felt I had splurged enough and passed on that one. When I got home, my wife looked at me like I was crazy and asked "...why?". So I guess I'm going back.

I've wanted one of these brutes since my kids were in diapers, and I was too broke to even think about it.

  • I have always wanted one of those amps. My first receiver ever was a Yamaha, and I have a bit of nostalgia about Yamaha ever since. They come up for sale around me every so often. Let me know how you like them.

  • Beast mode enabled. Nice score. Gotta love a good old fashioned arc welder.

    They're a bit like a Mercedes. Precision engineering, top tier performance, and heaven help you when something breaks 'cuz it's going to be expensive. Unlike the older M-80, though, there's more space (options) if the main filter caps need replaced, so that's one saving grace.

    The plastics are getting extremely brittle with age. Oh, and the binding posts aren't a standard 5-way, so no bananas.

    1 ohm stable!!

    I will do my best NOT to test that claim. Haha

    Still, I'm wondering what I build to pair with them.

    That's the first thing I thought of too!

  • Very nice! Were those on marketplace in NEW? I feel like I remember seeing an MX1000 on there.

    Possibly? He was about to put them up on ebay and wasn't looking forward to building them sturdy shipping crates. Haha

  • Those old Yamaha amps are sleepers. Gotta love vintage class A/B

    But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!
