Price Paid:  $80.00 from Craigslist

Summary:
Well surprise, surprise...had used this as a 4 channel power amp in my home theatre system to run 2 pairs of surrounds. Amp did the job, nice tone, surrounds were sounding nice and spacious. Lo & behold, a pair of PSB Century 800i speakers come up on Craigslist for cheap. Bring them home and decide to bi-amp them with the little Yamaha M-35.

Sweet, sweet candy...a marriage made in heaven! This unassuming little amp coupled with the PSB's invited The New Miles Davis Quintet to come & play in my basement stereo room! Close your eyes & the musicians are seemingly in the room with you. This amp/speaker combo makes music sound like instruments. I seriously did not expect that kind of performance from this amp. Simply a wonderful sounding unit.

Strengths:
Used in a bi-amp configuration, you cannot go wrong. Nice open soundstage, very detailed musical presentation, with terrific tight, punchy bass.

Weaknesses:
Make sure to take the output jacks apart, clean, lubricate, and tighten them. Mine were a little wonky but were easy to improve.

Similar Products Used:
SCOTT, NAD, YAMAHA, MARANTZ, LUXMAN, and a few I'd like a refund on.
