Fair enough. I ended up using some orange automotive indicator globe paint to make the M-50 match the C-50, now all good.
Nice to hear you now have the setup you have been missing since letting go of the M-50, C-50 combo.
Sounds like another detailed and interesting thread on the horizon.
Very nice speakers and your thread was an interesting read.
Ooh she may get jealous, that MX-1 should be a real beast l would imagine. Bet you cannot wait to have a look at the innards of that one.
Thank you very much for the continued interest and moral support. That's a lot of what makes this place so fun.
I've always wanted an M-70. When I bought the M-50 at Clark AB back in '83 I had a choice. Buy a C-70 and M-70 and wait to buy some kind of input unit, or buy a C-50 and M-50 and have enough cash left over to buy a TT and tape deck to complete the system. So I went for the complete system, Pioneer PL-L100A and Teac cassette deck (don't recall which one, it was totl and had dbx).
But as much as I've always wanted that M-70 as soon as I saw the CX-1 and MX-1 I wanted them even more. And to complicate things I really want to put together a very nice 2-channel system to give to my son next year for his 30th birthday. I now have a CX-1 for him, as well as the Speakerlab 7WA's pictured at the end of my speaker thread, but need a power amp. So he will get the M-70 and I will just have to make do with the MX-1.
My Speakerlab's have always been a strong love affair. And they sound better now than they ever did when new. I've actually been in love with them for longer than with my wife (please don't tell her that I said that). We didn't marry 'till '85.
There are several Yamaha threads on the horizon.
AX-1090
AX-890
RX-570
CX-1 continuation
MX-1
Not necessarily in that order.
