The MX-1000 is a very revealing amp. What you put in is what comes out.I've been on vacation since my last post returned and actually had time to hook up and appreciate my new MX 1000U, now I personally know exactly the feeling you have about M-85. I hooked it up played it through my Cerwin Vegas and I found myself lacking mids and highs, it wasn't as crisp as my Yamaha M-70s. So as much as it pains me not to have this amplifier there was no reason for me to keep it, the 70s were just on a whole Other level.
He is not the only one. Others have done it. If the amp was restored, it will do just fine.
Nice setup. I like the R2R.Hello everyone,I think it's an input problem, because I've run my 6 Cerwin Vega's on my Yamaha MX-1000u which is basically the same amp you have, and the amp handle it without a problem.
The MX-1000 is new amp to my setup, so I hooked all my speakers to it and it filled the room completely.

I would agree with you if my two M-70s didn't sound so good compared to MX-1000, the bass was fine, but mids and highs were lacking. I usedThe MX-1000 is a very revealing amp. What you put in is what comes out.
Then I would say you need to have that MX looked at.I would agree with you if my two M-70s didn't sound so good compared to MX-1000, the bass was fine, but mids and highs were lacking. I used
the same inputs from the M-70s and the 4 Cerwin Vega 15s and the sound was like night and day.

I understand your point, but I have 4 M-70's that's playing very well and one MX-1000U that's not, I personally will stay with what's working,Lots of inherent design issues with the M 70 , they were one and done
Yes, that's correct.So you have 4 working M-70s and an MX1k that needs to be looked at.
A healthy M-80/M-85 will do approx 295wpc into and 8Ω load before clipping.
Which rails ? LB or HB ? 44vdc ( LB) and 88vdc (HB)..Dave, do you happen to know the max rail voltage og the M-85 ?
