Comments on Nakamichi PA5

After owning a couple of Nak's Stasis receivers and being pretty impressed with their sonics I purchased a PA5 with high expectations and was completely disappointed with it. A very average sounding amp at best. Not even in the same league with my B&K ST140. My Meitner STR50 chewed it up spit it out and stomped it into the ground. Not Recommended.

I totally agree with Infinitebaffle. The Nakamichi PA5 doesn't have enough power for Maggies or E-stats. I had the Nakamichi PA5 MkII - which is 150wpc, compared to the 100wpc for the PA5. It was wonderful with my ribbon speakers but completely failed at driving my e-stats. Look elsewhere for a high current/voltage amp.

thanks guys.
