Just keep looking. Put it in "saved searches" and get notified when one comes up for sales. Their app will help. Good luck.

yamaha cr-800
I'm guessing here, but I believe you need a better FM antenna. You should also use the 75 ohm input rather than the 300 ohm input if you have a choice. That works better for me. Depending on your location, you may even need an outdoor antenna desi...

Help, MC7270 with 2 pairs, Serial or Parallel
I would not run 2 pairs of any speaker in the same room for stereo listening. The only benefit is higher sound level at the expense of imaging and clarity. Best wishes.  
Anyone know of an independent tech out there with experience in Bryston amplifier?
If they have references for Bryston service, I would consider. If not, it's back to the factory. You don't want inferior parts put in any Bryston equipment, I'm a Bryston fan.
