A single MX-2 is more than enough power for either of those pairs of speakers.
Maybe it's time to setup a second system?
$240 for a working C-1... what a bargain
Well Mark, here is a thread about that story also, but, for some reason the pictures are deleted? I may have them on file somewhere saved. But, from the date I first posted about the sale, to the date of my sales ticket, no one else picked up that Yamaha.

As far as a second system goes, I am still thinning out a few extra pieces to keep only one main rig for reasons of my down sizing in retirement. I am lucky to have my wife and she has let me use the garage for my Man Space, even though she still moves things(clean as she says). Heck, she even cleans(rearranges) my 12 x 24 shop out back and says I need a lawn shed to keep the gas machines out of the shop.
If I do get anything, I will get a Yamaha MX-1, but, like you said, the MX-2 is just fine and dandy for what I need.
I still have a Sansui AU-719 as back up, with extra cdp's and cassette decks.
In Closing, I guess I will still look at all the nice gear out there day to day and just keep what I have for now.
