Matthews Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 On a hunt! Trying to track down a reasonably priced M-504. Have looked at all the usual places and thought I'd post here as well, just in case... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofers and Tweeters Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The specs are impressive on those. You might like the M508 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Just out of curiosity, what are you going to hook it up to speaker wise? If you can find one of the "newer" M-5000R's, that's a healthy contender at 80wpc weighing in at 52-lbs. That's what I run to my Belle clones as it sounded way better than the VTA ST-70 tube amp. The under hood of the amp is my avatar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be powering a pair of La Scala. I already have a gorgeous TX-SV90PRO with rosewood side panels (110 wpc). The 90 will be used as the pre and is same vintage as the 504.

The under hood of the amp is my avatar. That amp looks great. I would have to take out a loan at the bank to get one lol. 2 hours ago, USNRET said: I should have waited a few years to let these go; prices are higher now Yeah, I have seller's remorse on a few things too. I still have the M-504, M-508 and one of the preamps. Not sure what model preamp I have, I never have hooked it up. 2 hours ago, Matthews said: Have had a couple in the past. As usual, regrets of a sale... I have been running a Sansui BA-2000 for a few years in place of the 504. I can't let the Ms go just yet in fear of the regret. Since you have had these before, you might already know that recapping them isn't a straight forward R&R job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
