Hello all,
I had this amp forever going back to my Bryn Mawr Days. It's been a rock solid amp for many rears and I used it often to power my basement zone speakers. It has the very cool Knight rider red light meters in the front so it's fun to watch while listening. bad thing is you want to crank it up to get the meters to really dance and blow yourself out of the room. I'd like to get 200.00 plus shipping in the USA. I give it a 7/10 due to age and a very few minor scratches.

    A pair of B&W LM1's and a polk sub wired in Speaker wire to get the speaker level signal. I also have powered Atrium 55's and had it at one time running my entire house with a Jamo 6 way speaker selector box. It's a great amp and sound clean.

    I really like these Yamaha amps. I had five of the MX-80's and 85's powering my HT a few years ago. Lots of power and that smooth yamaha sound. $200 is a great deal.

    In fact, never mind....maybe I'll buy it :-)

    I have the Yamaha M-65 which is similiar and it is great. Does the front light up with meter bars like the M-65, it looks like it has the same face on it but I can't tell because in the picture it is not powered on. Good deal on a great amp.

    Yes it has the Knight Rider thing going on. It's cool the louder you play it the cooler the front display gets. I like to watch it. You have the ability to turn that off as well if it gets annoying which for me it never gets old
