I remember the Yamaha C4 and M4 with some nostalgia, as they were beyond my high school student budget, and quite beautiful with their back lit power and speaker selector switches.
20 years later, they seem to be reasonably well bid on the used market, although the lamp lights are often burned out and not easy to replace, apparently.
So last week, I impulsively bought an M2, because it looked even more powerful and more interesting than the M4, and the one I found seemed to be in good shape with working lights.
There is not much info on the web - does anyone know anything about this amp?
Flg - The L65s sound terrific mostly for rock and jazz. The 70 watts produced by the CR1020 seem about perfect for sound repro for these JBLs. I tried playing them at a higher volume with a 1000 Watt amp (740-960w at 4ohm)and they could not handle it even though they were the 3d set of speakers connected at the time. Quite good for what they are though. You gotta like the now retro look with the smoked glass tops. The crystal tweeter is special and 15" woofers really pound. Fun, CLASSIC stuff.
Sit - indeed, the L65 were a baby L300 in sound and looks!, I passed thru various B&W models back then but never had the "fun factor" that the JBLs offered.
