Need some suggestion for Yamaha NS-1000M

[duy1991]

(Post this for my father)

We will have Yamaha NS-1000M, but I have some questions

1. Is it worth to exchange my Yamaha NS-690III ?
2. I have lots of amp

Integrated Amps
- Denon DRA-455
- Sony TA-8650 (V-Fets)
- Marantz 1180 DC
- Marantz 1040
- Yamaha DSP-A1

Power Amps
- Victor PS-A152

Which should I choose for NS-1000M?

(Sorry, My english is poor....)

The Sony is the smoothest sounding but it emphasizes the bass, it might not be a match... (btw, the Sony amp should run extremely HOT, if not, something is wrong with it, probably bad diodes, fix it otherwise the V-FeTS can fail)

The Marantz 1040 is too weak of an amp for the speakers...

The Marantz 1180DC should be strong enough, but again, make sure it is working properly, these have been known to fail at this age...

The Yamaha DSP-A1 might be a decent match

I know nothing about the Denon....
