Nakamichi - Very cheap, are they any good?

[jolly_26 10+ year member]

Hey guys just been cruising Trademe (like ebay for NZ) and came across this

Nakamichi PL-4100 800w Max Class A/B 4 CH Amp | Trade Me

Compared to anything else with similar specs it is much cheaper, and I was wondering if they are any good? Will they do rated etc?

My other option I am leaning towards is a Fusion amp, as they are designed in NZ (or at least used to be?) and so are sold relatively cheaply here compared to other brands.

Cheers.

I used to have the older series Pa 301 mono and I think a Pa 504 4 channel and loved them. I was running (2) 12's on the mono and separates front and back with a pair of 8's in the rear deck on the 4 channel. They were absolutely flawless! I don't know about the new stuff so much but Nakamichi is known for making legendary home audio pieces including amps like the PA-7 and PA-5. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again if I was going for sound quality. Good luck with your search.

That's ideal, over here I can get their stuff cheaper than Sony Xplod gear haha!
