Funny, I could swear I posted something here yesterday, but I guess it got lost in cyber-limbo. Here goes another stab at it....
Nope, but I wouldn't complain if it were!
I almost want to write, "Give the man half a cookie", for getting the right brand, without adding the right model number, but heck, here's a whole box of cyber-cookies, just for getting the brand.
Yep, I'm getting a Yamaha 101M to power my Infinities (and other speakers). Basically a huge, "statement" pair of 500 wpc extremely-low-distortion monoblocks built into one large, heavy and sturdy case.
While I've never heard this exact pairing before, from everything I have been able to determine, it should be a very good match-up, not just between amp and speakers, but between sources+preamp, and power amp, too. It's the last/weakest link in a system that "should" sound really, really nice. At least I'm hoping it will! MarkB has (or has had) the professional near-equivalent (almost identical) amp powering part of his Betas, and has only good things to say about the sound. I'm really hoping it will sound as good in real life, as I'm hoping it will.
scratch2:...if that isn't redundant!
