Love that 1010!
BX-1's
Where do they sit on the Yamaha sonic performance curve? Closer to the B2x or the B-2?
I've never heard BX-1's. Here's what I've heard about them. You may recall a thread AK'er Yamaha B-2 started when he had an opportunity to buy a pair of BX-1's. After buying them he posted that after listening to them for a while that they had displaced his B-2. I don't recall him posting anything further on the BX-1's until he sold them to another AK'er (EricC). I found that rather odd. I contacted Eric a few months later and inquired if he would be interested in selling them. He was not. I gathered from out correspondence that he was very happy with them.
At the time of it's introduction in the early '80's the B-2x was Yamaha's TOTL amp, with an msrp of $1500. The B-2 is nicely built but it's not in the same class as the B-2x. The B-2 however does have VFET magic. If I had to choose one I'm not sure which it would be.

I have one of those that I bought of CL, waiting for a place to hook it up.
IIRC, Yamaha B-2 listened to the BX-1s for several months and his long-term listening preference was for the B-2 VFET presentation, which in the end, he found to be smoother and more pleasant from bottom to top. Also, going by my somewhat faulty memory, after Eric had the BX-1s for several months one of them died and Rob went through them after that to recap and whatever else. They ran so hot it baked the paint off the transformers.

Most of you guys sure can take much better pictures than I can. Here they are anyways.
To my ears, I've had several BJT amps over the years; none of the caliber of the BX-1's though, but in all of my cases I'd have to I agree with Y B-2 as far as spectral smoothness goes. The B-2 and the B-1 with more SPL IMHO are at the top of the Yamaha pecking order as far as the sonics go and as an aside, Y B-2's B-2 is still going strong today at my friends place. I'll bet the same can't be said about his BX-1's. They're probably sitting somewhere waiting to be reconditioned after they cooked themselves to death.

I haven't had the BX-1 amps, but I have ran B-2x, MX-2000, M-4, M-2, and the pro PC2002M. The B-2 is the overall best amp for me. Smooth and ballsy would by my description of the power.
Sadly I think I'm going to be parting with my Yamaha stack (B-2, C-2x, T-1, PX-3). I spent some time with them Friday, but that was the first time in over a year.
