I don't know how current the list is, but it's something to start with at least. If you find a reputable retailer, I would certainly ask them if they have any components that have been traded in that may be available. http://audiotools.com/en_dist_ch_a.html And here is a thread from Head-fi (a headphones/accessories site) that discusses sources for good headphones, and these sources might be able to help you find what you are looking for in an amplifier. http://www.head-fi.org/t/631517/audiophiles-gear-in-switzerland I took a moment to look carefully to the site that you gave me and I found some that might be interesting. I will contact them directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have however owned several M-series Yamaha's as well as many other brand, high powered amplifiers. Hands down, the Yamaha is my favorite amp to date. This weekend, I will be playing with a Carver amp that a friend loaned to me. I have heard from others, they are wonderful amps too. An answer to your question, musically speaking -AWESOME- ...with all the reserve power you could ever want to pump into your RF-7's It may not be often but you will crank them babies up ever now and again If you haven't noticed, I am a biased Yammy thumper... Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ Hello, I just made some research about this amp and i found that it has only one line in? Is this correct? I would have to buy a second amp to connect all my devices? On my researches over internet (before coming here) I found several times, people saying that Yamaha amps are not suited for Klipsch speakers (musically speaking?)? Honestly besides the quality of this amp, in therms of design it's not very appealing, this late 80's design with all this plastic...

IMO, that is highly undeserved stigma that has been floating around the web for some time. Cheap Best Buy quality AVR's of the 90's and early 2000's with very revealing Klipsch speakers are most likely what has stoked that bad reputation. I can assure you that my Yamaha A-S1000 integrated amp and the recently sold CR-2040 do not contribute to that bad publicity with Klipsch speakers.

Sorry for the question that might seem "stupid" but I have no idea how setup this installation with this amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dgc Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 I found this over internet: The MX-1000 and the CX-1000 for about 1800eur. https://www.cjm-audio.de/komplettanlagen/yamaha/ In the same site, there is an ONKYO set and other brands. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). 2 hours ago, david.dgc said: I found several times, people saying that Yamaha amps are not suited for Klipsch speakers (musically speaking?)? 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. 2 hours ago, david.dgc said: Honestly besides the quality of this amp, in therms of design it's not very appealing, this late 80's design with all this plastic... 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 hour ago, willland said: IMO, that is highly undeserved stigma that has been floating around the web for some time. +1 Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
