Help Please With Vintage Amp Selection

I am assuming you want to keep those Advent Large 2 way speakers. I found a link that indicated they are only 86db 1w/1m

I would want more than your current 70 wpc, so I would not overhaul the existing, rather pick something with more power, and that can be bridged, get a 2nd unit if I wanted even more in the future.

Check the specs, when bridging, often impedance choices become limited.

That for the reply. That might be the problem then. The CA 1000 is only 70 ier side. I can get a Yamaha Pro in good shape and it's 240 per side. Would you find that a good choice? I'd need a pre amp too of course.

Have you considered a MOSFET Yamaha MX-2000? beautiful looking and from what I'm told a beautiful sounding amp. There is also a CX-2000 preamp

I've had both the Yamaha B-1 and the B-2 and they are fantastic amps. But you're right - the only VFETS come from another amp.

Even if you can find VFETS, you have to find out WHY they went bad - the main reason VFETS usually fail is when the protection circuit fails. So then your left with trying to find a competent tech you feel comfortable with to trouble shoot and repair.

Elrod, thanks. I'll research that one.
