Hi, thanks for your response. Do you think this amplifier is worth 150 bucks? Is this entry or mid fi yamaha during its time? If ever i pull the trigger on this, i will be using it to drive my 150 watts APM's. Thanks
Now, some time after, I found another A-700 for 20 euros from someone willing to throw it away (picture above). But don't get me wrong: the A-700/A-750 is, for many, a legend and, considering the way it sounds, it worths more than $150. You'll never find a new amp in this same category for this price.The A-700 is supposed to sound even "better" than the mighty CA-2010 according to AK member belgianbrain here. That's why I got real interest in this series and also because I've an A-520 which sounds incredible sweet to my ears.
There is an A-700 for 150 euros in good condition. And an AX-700 for 125 euros. Finally an A-720 for 175 euros.
Pretty tough actually!

The AX-700 seems a very nice unit, James!
Waiting for the pictures! :thmbsp:

Interesting to see that it uses the same A1265N & C3182N outputs as the A-1020, and the same quantity, but rared at 110 watts compared to the 125 watts of the A-1020. Does that mean that the AX-700 is throttled down in comparison or just conservitavely rated?

Cheers,

4 pairs of outputs for 110W!! Awesome! Pretty sure the AX-700 sounds fantastic! Please, confirm it?
P.S.: Also in good condition! Did you check if the bias is ~10mV
