from ebay Summary:
Purchased this amp used from ebay. Can't believe how happy I am with this amp. In fact I am in the market for a second one!
Used to have an Accuphase integrated, used it to drive large full range speakers. Though the sound was extremely accurate, I always felt something was missing. When I switched to the MX-1, I finally found it, the bass. The lower end Accuphase integrated simply doesn't have the power or the current to properly drive full range speakers.
I have always used many Krell and Rotel amps in the past. After my first Rotel, RB-1080, I'll never purchase another Rotel again. Bloated bottom end, rolled off high end. The Yamaha MX-1 is totally neutral compared to the Rotel with more power to spare. Compared to the Krell, the Krell does have a better bottom end. Then again, we are talking about spending thousands of dollars more. For the price, you just can't get better than this. Strengths:
Power, power, and power. Non fatiguing, neutral. Weaknesses:
At this price, are you kidding me?
Perhaps the weight is one issue. I never expected it to be this heavy. Then again, I like my audio gear to have weight, a sign of quality and power. Similar Products Used:
Various Accuphase, Krell, Rotel amps.
