Bottom Line:   
Bought this on second hand for 100 bucks and could not be happier to get real natural sound with low noise amp.This classic amplifier manufactured by Yamaha has very high power delivering to speakers that could burn any expensive ones (be careful with power)

I am very pleasured to have one because i can't think about getting better sound than this one.
In addition,classic Yamaha design makes it looking very sexy.

And who the hell needs 7.1 or SPIDF O/I today?;)

Pros:
1.High power (85 watt RMS) 140 watt for 8 oHms
2.Low noise (100 dB SNR)
3.Classic design by Yamaha

Cons:
None

Bottom Line:   
I purchased this amp new in 1989 along with a TX-500 tuner. It has been a solid performer for the last 13 years, and the only problem to date has been with the MM/MC phono switch sticking.

Bottom Line:   
Bought the amplifier in 1990 ($350) and have had excellent results with it, great sound, very low noise, very flexible, totally stable and rugged - takes a full power short circuit in stride. Have compared it with substantially more expensive amps but have decided against upgrading since it actually sounds so good. In combination with my old Maggies (MG-IA) it has a very musical and at times (depending on source) incredibly realistic sound.

Bottom Line:   
This is a naturally sound beauty although it is only 85 watts. At this configuration really is a good buy. However, this model is not longer manufactured by Yamaha. Bring on the heavy weight speakers and this amplifier can tear any speakers apart with it Natural Sound Processing. All thumbs up for this amplifier!
