    Post Vintage Amp/Speaker Combo

    I got back my M90 amp from after purchase cleaning/inspection/bench test, and
    there were just a couple issues. Power meter LED replacement (4 of Them) and
    modern cap update, was my call. The guy I use is over 60yrs old and has seen
    hundreds of amps, and rated this right up there. It's very musical, lots of punch,
    and well designed. It's like a dual mono set-up, but in the same chassis. It was
    bench tested in my presence with his normal test set-up, a pioneer spec1 pre, run
    thru JBL 4312a's with 10g wire, and it just cooked in that rig. If anyones working
    on a vintage rig, I strongly advise looking at this amp, or it's updated brother the
    M91. The rotel I used will be "demoted" to surround/back channel duty for movie
    playback. For music it will be this amp. It's very clear, thats what it was built for.

    ... just Googled the M90 and got a view of the front end. Looks like a nice piece of vintage gear. If specs indicate anything it should juice things up nicely. Congrats on the new toy!

    Cheers
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    Thanks man, it really matches up well with the speakers/music I listen to. My
    classic rock stuff never sounded so good, and of course thats what where after.
