Vintage Yamaha vs parasound??

[skinnypuppy]

If given the choice would you get a recapped m60 or a new parasound 275??

M60

how much is the yammie? there is nothing wrong with the para and it can be bridged into a 200wpc monoblock.

and what speakers are to be used?

I'm not a fan of any particular amplifier, however
the M-60 is a good one.

I don't believe this amp is a John curl design.. At least they don't advertise it as such...klipsch chorus speakers...I was leaning towards the m60 but the seller isn't giving me a good vibe just coming off as aggressive so I'll probably go with the parasound

I've had a few M60s and liked them but if the buyer is acting goofy then no point in chancing a bad buy.

M-60 has way more power than the 275.
I really like Curls HCA-1200 and 2200

Oh I'm well aware of the power difference.. But I figure with my speakers.. And current living situation it's not a big issue.. More concerned about sound and build quality.. Barley had an emotiva a year and a half hardly used it and died.. While it was in stand by lol

Funny I had a bad experience on eBay with the mk1 hca2200 which I guess wasn't a curl design.. Arrived with awful thump and hum open it up and a bunch of resistors were fried.. Also found it kinda odd that they were all installed right up against the board..I guess the mk2 was a curl design and didn't have that problem

I ended up going with the parasound.. So far sounding good real good
