I just got WAY outbid on a M-45 so I'll make do with my M-2 here in my office for the JBL P30s I just bought. I'll use my C-4 and T 70, and my Nachmichi 481Z.
I know that I'm a bit of a Luddite, but I think that Yamaha separates are the ONLY WAY to go, and if a speaker isn't somehow related to James Bullough Lansing, it just isn't a loudspeaker. I just can't bring my arms around the idea of an integrated amp or, God forbid, a receiver.
I'll just leave my pair of JBL 166's in the closet at home.
I''m new to this site but I'm learning a lot. If I ever get some serious money I WILL OWN a pair of JBL 4345 studio monitors, a Yamaha MX 1000 and the true TX 1000 tuner.
I would like a recommendation for a good Yamaha power amp for my JBL P30s. I liked the M-45 specs a lot: 125W x 125W RMS and 10 W of Class A power. Also, I would like to know what my RMS power s on the M-2? I know that like there is "no substitute for cubic inches", size does matter in power amps also.
I could spend all day on this site; great information.
All best,
The real Jude_the_Obscure.
