Running a Nakamichi preamp right now. That Carver in the photo is a little TFM-15 amplifier. I have them bi-amped, the Carver powering the horns and the Yammy on the LF. It is sweet delight. I have a Yamaha CX-800U (with remote) on the way, should be here by Tuesday. As nice as the Nak is, I need a little more tuning flexibility as well as remote volume capability. The CX-800 has the sweet "parametric" controls. Got a pretty good deal on it, $266 shipped in EUC. I feel your pain. Used to have an M-80 as well as an M-65 (both mint w/original boxes) that I regretfully sold. After this build up and financial recovery, I am not selling anymore of my treasured amps and pre's. I know now, from experience, that day would come, "why why why" - DOH !!! Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

I am in bliss (finally & for real) Wow, this little Nakamichi has done something I have never experienced before. I would like to attribute it to the new, vintage Yammy but I have a lot of experience with these amps. It is the Nak For lack of a better term, the most amazing separation I have ever heard. Simply put, incredible! Thank you, "cincymat" !!! Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ edit: now we are having fun A little bi-amping fun that is. Carver on the horns, Yammy pulling in the lower end. Sir Mookie Rocks

Help me choose an amplifier (the typical newbie post)
Matthews replied to faithless's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
YAMAHA I have the Yammy A-S500 hooked up to a pair of RF-7's right now and love it. Sounds marvelous with plenty of grunt to get the job done (IMO). Matt -
how do you like to listen to your music? Rock, Jazz, Classical? House pounding loud (you have the right speakers if so ). Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

"reynoir", I think you are pretty close to fair market price (allow yourself some room for negotiation). I just paid $800 for a pair of RF-7 Cherry, pristine in box. My RSW-15 Cherry sub is for sale at $700. You are not far off on pricing, IMO... Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

I purchased Troy's RF-7's. They were exactly as described and in pristine condition. I would venture to say all his other components and parts have been taken care of likewise. In case someone is "on the fence", trusted seller, buy with confidence (my 2 cents)... Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

What stereo amplifier to buy with RF-7 MKII?
Matthews replied to david.dgc's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
even better, 300-400 watts, and... yes you do! ...power hungry monsters -
Yes, interesting. My experience: I use wifi to transmit to my laptop. Connected to the laptop is an NAD wireless DAC transimitter which then sends the signal to the NAD DAC receiver at my pre-amp. Many times, I have listened to the exact same song, back to back, from my 3 available sources (CD, Spotify, Pandora). Spotify has a very slight hand up over the Pandora. However, CD (hardwired) play and Spotify are so close in sound quality the result is a tie finish (hence, selling my CD player). I did all of this to try and find weak spots with the NAD wireless DAC. I was very suspicious the unit would perform up to my expectations. To report, I am happily delighted with the NAD wireless performance. For me, this eliminates the question of using wifi to transmit my signal (vs hardwire). Just my experience... Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Matthews replied to david.dgc's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Yes, you are correct. This is a "stereo amplifier" (aka 2-channel) as referenced in your original question. You must have a pre-amp, also know as a control amplifier to run a stereo amplifier (separates). You are going to find this type of review and comments about most all generic type amplifiers. This is not your typical, generic amplifier. Example, I have had several Rotel amps that sound fantastic with my Klipsch. At the same time, I had one power house Rotel that lasted mere days in my system, it sounded horrible. Also, and I don't know why, there are Yamaha haters out there. The quality and design of the Yammy M-series is top notch (IMO). This beast weighs over 50 pounds, that is not 50# of plastic... I am not trying to convince you that this is the amplifier for you. I like vintage Yamaha gear and just noticed this one is across the pond, perhaps a reasonable shipping distance to your door. There are MANY fine amplifiers out there. I think you may be looking for an integrated amplifier or a receiver rather than a stereo power amplifier. +1 Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ -
Thanks George I have never heard any of the MX series, they are a bit later in production years. I have had several M-series though so I know what this 60 sounds like. And I like it I am a man on a budget and think I got a pretty good deal on this little gem, $330 shipped. Matt ♪ ♫ ♪
