[plastic penguin]

Here's a Yamaha 101M.

Cost: 1 million yen when new in 1982.

Weight: 61 kgs

Power output: 500 watts continuous into 8 ohms, 750 watts continuous into 4 ohms.

Jeeze... Does it come with a nutty, wire-haired professor and a smokey test tube? (And a fake mid-European accent)

I know I like retro amps but you would need a bepoke house with reinforced foundations to house that thing.

 

[lindsayt]

3.1 million yen in 1987. 80 kgs. 200 watts continuous into 8 ohms.

is that your living room Lindsay? or is this your dream living room?

 

[MajorFubar]

I know I like retro amps but you would need a bepoke house with reinforced foundations to house that thing.

Think you could be over-egging it a bit. For an amplifier 61Kg is no lightweight; it's about nine and a half stone, but unless you're a skinny midget under 5' tall it's likely you weigh quite a bit more than nine and a half stone, and I'm sure your house supports you just fine.

 

[lindsayt]

1 million yen in 1997. 50 kgs (per channel?). 250 watts continuous into 8 ohms.

 

[lindsayt]

350 watts continuous into 8 ohms. 2 boxes per channel weighing 41 kgs and 60 kgs.

Hi Infiniteloop

Here's a Yamaha 101M.

Cost: 1 million yen when new in 1982.

Weight: 61 kgs

Power output: 500 watts continuous into 8 ohms, 750 watts continuous into 4 ohms.

A real mans ampifier , lovely *man_in_love*

But my choice would be a pair of these.

600wpc continuous into 8 ohms and 1200wpc continuous into 4 ohms 2400wpc into 2 ohms and stable down to 0.5 of an ohm, 150 amps peak current delivery each and 41kg each

First built in 1999 and still in production now virtually unchanged.

LOL! 🙂

 

[gasolin]

Yes it has 1000 watt pr channel and guess what, it's not there biggest one, they make a 8000 watt peak power in 2-4 and 8 ohm amp, that's like a drag racer *yahoo*

 

[lindsayt]

The cost of a pair of Nemo monoblocks was £9k / $15k new.

They are very high powered.

 

[Blacksabbath25]

My Yamaha is 23.4 kg I thought that was heavy ..... Anyway there some tasty pieces of kit on this thread *smile*

 

[chebby]

Gross!

I can just imagine these in some tiny apartment in Tokyo with a pair of old LS3/5As hanging off the end of them from cables having a minimum bending radius of about 2 metres!

 

[steve_1979]

The Boulder 3050 monoblocks. 1.5kW of pure class A.

It requires 12kW to run it! Yes that means 10.5kW is converted into heat which is about the same as boiling ten kettles at once. *fool*
