I got lucky. Very luck. Why?
Coz I got a deal to have a Yamaha DSP-A2070 7.1 channel integrated amplifier at INR 8K [USD $160].
Yamaha DSP-A2070
This previous owner bought this amplifier back in 1996 in U.K and was using it since. Last year he thought of an upgrade and outsourced a Marantz SR6003 A/V reciever to replace the DSP-A2070.
He says after some months of extensively using the SR6003, he found though it supports all the latest movie formats and provide options like USB so he can connect his iPod, it crucially lacked in terms of audio performance and the level of sound quality that the DSP-A2070 was able to achieve. According to him 2-channel performance of this Yamaha is something special and the SR6003 cannot hold a candle to it. Later he got a Krell and decided to sell both the SR6003 & DSP-A2070.
For starters DSP-A2070 is not a A/V Receiver like SR6003, actually you cannot call it a receiver since it lacks a tuner, and it has no video processing capabilities. It is just a 7.1 channel integrated amplifier purely devoted to audio & its digital soundfield processing.
The amp is plane Jane & conservative looking. But it weighs a hefty 21kilos [46 lbs]. The power supply section must be almighty which is denoted by its weight.
