    I almost bought a Nakamichi integrated a while back, but I didn’t know what Nakamichi was at the time, so I passed. It sounded really good though, and it was hooked up to a pair of speakers I also had never seen before, and I didn’t my inquire what they were for some reason. I remembered them having awesome sound stage, and they were really small. When I joined the forum I found out what they were: SDA CRS speakers, not sure which version. They were incredible! (To my untrained ear anyway)

    I know we've gotten into Nakamichi's versus Yamahas but I have owned both and still do.

    The old "Stasis" Nak's sound GREAT. I've owned 2 of them. Not the huge ones, just the affordable ones. My newer Nak. AC-10 puts out some GREAT power and sound too. But there is a little button that shorts when pushed. The tone button! Pics. are from the web.

    I should gather all my newer Yamaha receivers together for a "total" picture count. Only one has a dim display issue. The rest play like new still.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    That's not original Nak gear. That was produced after they were bought out. Not the same at all as the "Original" Nakamichi gear from the 70's thru the mid 90's.

    I wouldn't give up my Yammy amps. I always thought they were a very neutral amplifier. I like to let my speakers and source material do the talking.

    I said AC-10. I meant RE-10. Just a model correction. That's all. ;)

    Yamaha = boring to me. The "M" amps were pretty over-hyped then, and still are, IMO. So were the pre's that went with them. I'd take a Nak CA-5 over a Yam C-70 any day.

    Natural Sound = lifeless and boring.

    I never connected with any Yammy stuff. Sold it for years because that's what people wanted back in the day. A sales commission is a sales commission, but personally I preferred Nakamichi, Luxman and Adcom of the day.

    Just my .02c since you asked
