Nakamichi RE-10 100 x 2 Receiver

This receiver has the classic Nakamichi "stasis" power amplifier technology. The 100 w/pc RMS power amplifier is ample for driving most speaker requirements. The RE-10 has a line level output for powered sub-woofer(s). The front panel is simple and un-cluttered. Conventional rotary controls are used for Bass, Treble, Balance & Volume. All other functions controlled by push buttons on the front panel which is a clean, functional layout. Most other important feature to me is a Loudness button for boosting Bass & Treble. This item is lacking in many integrated amps & receivers today. The overall sound quality is excellent and exceptionally clean across the entire range. I compared this unit to Marantz, McIntosh, Dennon, Yamaha and several others. I rejected the others because of a lack of a true Loudness Contour Control. Although there are 6 line level inputs the RE-10 lacks a Magnetic Phono Input. After spending several months looking for new equipment to replace my 10 year old receivers, I chose the Nakamichi RE-10. The RE-10 is a REALLY GOOD SOUNDING STEREO receiver (Nakamichi Stasis amplifier).
