I have been very happy with my 950/7100 for 2 channel sound through my Klipsch Heresys...Tonight, I hooked up my "old" Nalamichi TA/2 Stasis "Tuner/Amp" receiver with my other set of slightly older Klipsch Heresys...I think I like the sound from the Nak a bit better...anyone here have or have had a Nak??? What is it I am hearing, warmth?
I don't dislike the 950/7100...it is just "different" sounding...I hate to throw around audiophile phrases so if I use one, I may not be using it correctly but the Nak sounds a bit "fuller" perhaps and the 950/7100 sounds a little more "analytical?"
Help me if you have some insight or just want to add your .02.
Thanks,
Bill

for a short time(very short) i powered my b&w 601's with my 1050.

my bk amp is much warmer(natural)

i love my 1050 and it still powers my center and surrounds.i could power my surrounds with the extra channels on the bk,but i don't find the sound of the surrounds(infinity) to be AS important as the mains.but then the majority of my listening is 2(.1) channel music.

i've always liked the NAK sound myself.

maybe our older equipment is just "broken in"LOL

not trying to start a debate people!

painttoad:
It could also be that the NAK is the sound I am more "used" to...Don't get me wrong...I like the sound (2.1 as well) on the 950/7100/LFM-1 but I was just surprized to hear some very good 2 channel out of the old NAK...Maybe I didn't do so bad 15 or so years ago when I bought it, eh???
Thanks for the response...keep 'em comin'!
