for the m-4
Mine cost $225 on ebay and arrived in mint condition. Built like a tank. Discrete output devices. Only electrolytic caps are two power supply caps; all others are styrene or mylar. Power transformer the size of a small loaf of bread. Runs very slightly warm. Puts out 120 watts per channel at eight ohms and 170 at four ohms. Drives my Maggie four ohm MG-1.5/QR speakers just fine. Like most other well designed solid state amps, it really has no sound of its own; just amplification. Really heavy. Highly recommended.
Product Weakness: Heavy. Speaker connectors flimsy. Product Strengths: Value, built for the long term, drives low impedance loads well.
Associated Equipment for this Review: Amplifier: Yamaha M-4 Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): None Sources (CDP/Turntable): Yamaha CDC-901 w/volume cont. Speakers: Magnepan MG-1.5/QR Cables/Interconnects: 12 gauge zip cord, Radio Shack Music Used (Genre/Selections): Blues, Jazz, Rock Room Size (LxWxH): 17 x 15 x 12 Time Period/Length of Audition: Six months Type of Audition/Review: Product Owner
