Try to see about the Yamaha B-1 Amplifier which is black and 2 large volume meters in the front. I owned this for over 3 years and it was very musical and durable. The other models you posted are just okay. The B-1 is 100 rms a channel.

Dear Jacob: I´m investing on my Hi-End system for 16 years and I have never heard about Yamaha Power Amps till monday 18th. when a M-80 PA was offered to me.

I took a little time and found the owner manual and some reviews on the Web. All of them are 5 stars and I bought the amp.

It is 250W p/channel and has very low distortion levels (nearly 0,002) an it can plays high notes without any problems.

The only care needed is two cooler on it´s back because it runs extremely hot.

That done you´ll have full pleasure with it.

I listen to classical music and it upgraded my system nearly 15%.

Nice listening.

These amplifiers run hot because they go into class A at the start and then class B eventually.Classical music is great to listen to as I have been for over 47 years.
