I've had my Nak RE-2 for about four years. What a great sounding receiver! The amp is great; the phono section quiet; the remote useful (though favoring other Nak components). FM section isn't too good, though. But so what. For the sound, it was a steal at $525. Running it with Definitive DR-7 SMs. Next stop: an expensive integrated. |

I believe the RE-2 is the best mid-power receiver on the market. The amp & pre-amp are outstanding; the tuner is OK. |

I've had my RE-2 for about 6 years. Many times I've considered replacing it, but have had a difficult time parting with the RE-2. For the price you can't beat it. It runs my four Klipsch Forte's with no problem. I'm sold on Nak and would only replace it with an AV8 or AV10. |

I want to first say that I haven't listened to the Nakamichi RE-2 but I have listen to the AV-500 Nakamichi($425) that Best Buy just recevied as compared to the Technics, Sony, Pioneer, and Aiwa on all thier highest end receviers at Best Buy Ranging from $200-$900 and I found the Tenchics to be muffled compared to the AV-500 and for that matter I found the others to be seriously lacking in sound Quilty. My only complaint is that I wish Nakamichi receiver had an AC-3 decoder included in the unit its self instead of only being AC-3 ready. |

A great stereo receiver. It's over 5 years old and still sounds much better than all other receivers in its class. Definitely an excellent value. |

weak tuner I am the original owner of the receiver, bought it as my very first receiver. I am still using it to this day, even though I have upgraded my system to McIntosh amps, etc. Similar Products Used: McIntosh MX113 tuner/preamp |
