Great gear -not sold in large amounts in the US but for some reason there is tons of it here in NZ. I have an AM-2450 (I think that's the number) - amplifier and it has 3 x TO-3P outputs per side - meaty and well-powered. Great build quality and sound quality. I'm still assessing whether to keep or toss mine, as I am selling most of my amps to pay for overpriced super-rare novelty amps that give me heaps of trouble, lols.
I think there's a ton of Akai gear here because it was assembled domestically under license, until the import duties were relaxed anyway. Of course I could be wrong and maybe it's just our proximity to the land of the rising sun
