  • I purchased in March 1985 Yamaha M-80 Power Amp, C-80 Control Amp and T-80 Tuner. I have searched endlessly for that one audio engineer who has a vision, a perfectionist and shares my passion for the muscle of Yamaha M-80 Amp, my search happily ended with LegendaryAmps. After speaking with Skip, I quickly realized that I have hit the jackpot, a one in a million shot, someone who exemplifies an "old school" philosophy, extremely knowledgeable and yes, a detailed plan for a complete off the frame restoration and execution. When I received my M-80 Amp back and visually inspected it then put on line the results far exceeded my expectation, I was blown away. My M-80 Amps audio quality is pitch perfect and the 250 watts of Yamaha muscle is available again with no distortion, and the frame looks better than the day of purchase, it rocks. I decided to look for another Yamaha M-80 and C-80 to give to my son, then shipped it ASAP to LegendaryAmps. The restoration performed on both Yamaha M-80 Power Amps by LegendaryAmps can only be described as "Magical". Thanks Skip, I now have 2 Classic 57 Chevy's. Who's got it better than me!!!

  • My system is being transformed gradually into my greatest expectations. As the humble owner of a Yamaha M-80 with the worst case scenario, Skip and his team of perfectionists at LegendaryAmps used passion, pride, and confidence to transform my submarined M-80 back into immaculate, original sound room condition. Clean, crisp, with infinite depth of quality sound, in one word, "accurate." When these amps are restored back to like-new condition, the accuracy of sound replication is like nothing I’ve heard. Simply put, amazing! That, along with paralleled advice, LegendaryAmps are truly worthy of their name.

  • Hi Skip, The M-80 showed up. After hooking it up, put some CDs on to get a quick handle on the performance. This amp is incredible sounding. I was not prepared for just how good it is. I've been using a Nakamichi PA-7 I was borrowing from a friend, so I have a pretty good idea of the Signature III's can do. This M-80 is as good, or better, than the PA-7. The bass is ever so slightly deeper (and tighter) than the PA-7. The midrange is where I hear the largest delta between the M-80 and the PA-7. The M-80 has a clarity that I’ve not heard before with the Signature IIIs, and betters the PA-7 in this regard. I love how the unit looks new again. Thanks again! Another satisfied customer.

  • After 26 or so years of dragging my M 85 all over the world I guess I forgot how fantastic my M-85 sounded when new. I have just been reminded and have been listening to music all over again since unpacking my amp a few weeks ago after being restored by LegendaryAmps. Actually sitting and listening, it's that good. While it looks brand new, I think it may actually sound better than new coupled with the new speakers I purchased a few years ago. Last week an old buddy of mine that was thinking about purchasing home audio equipment again after twenty years or so stopped by to listen to my system. A few days later, he purchased a M-85 amp off eBay and is building a system... just like mine, the ultimate compliment. I did not hesitate in recommending LegendaryAmps. I cannot say enough about LegendaryAmps and their crew for the quality work and patience in answering all my questions. This is the first time I have gone through the process of restoration for a piece of equipment and couldn't be any happier. I am looking forward to sending LegendaryAmps my C-85 preamp for some well deserved TLC. BK. Eugene, Oregon, 8/6/2013
  • I got the M-85 amp this morning. Package arrived in great shape. I have to say, that your packing is the most professional I've seen. I've had about eight other items shipped to me and your shipping is BY FAR the best. It sure gives a guy a lot of confidence in the rest of your workmanship! I've played music through the amp for about an hour now and it is wonderful. Thanks!!!....Regards, Rob 9/25/2011 M-85 $1,199.00

  • My MX-1000 visually looks great. Like new. Between the paint, the cleaning, and the removal of epoxy glue on the cabinet, I’m really impressed. The new speaker terminals are very sturdy, a vast improvement over the original setup. I always thought this amp sounded great before, but now it sounds even better. Better clarity, better bass response, generally more power output. Everything works perfect and I am very pleased with the results of the restoration. I absolutely consider it money well spent. It was a pleasure to do business with Legendary Amps. I appreciated the prompt return of all my emails, and being dealt with honestly. Again, I am very happy with every aspect of the restoration, and I would highly recommend Legendary Amps to anyone who owns one of these units and wants it to once again be in A-1 condition. Thanks to everyone on your staff. Tim Stevens

  • Words can't describe how I feel right now. I am blown away by the sheer power of this amp. Hooked it up to a pair of Polk SDA SRS using a cx1000u pre amp. Unbelievable. I have NEVER heard a home stereo system sound so pure. And its mine! The sound stage is amazing. What I cant believe is how much sound is produced at just 30 to 40 watts. The amp is beautiful! Fine craftsmanship. I want to personally thank you for what you do. Please do not stop what you are doing with these amps. It was a pleasure doing business with you. I plan on doing more in the future. Thanks again! Jim YAMAHA MX-1000U (#370578876442) US $1,299.00

  • MX1000 in mint condition, sounds superb, exc. packing and great communication. Skip, your professionalism goes beyond the expectations. Your job is immaculate and covers all the details. I don't doubt for a minute that all your buyers have fulfilled their expectations after receiving one of your units, as I have. The sound of the MX-1000 is an invitation, you simply can't stop of keep listening, in two words, true magic, even at a low volume. I'm glad I was checking Yamaha amps on eBay that day.

  • The amp is wonderful. I do have a question. I was using a Denon $2500 receiver as an amp only and when it replaced it with this amp the sound quality clearly improved immensely. The Denon specs are great. I use a Sony TA-E80es preamp & big vintage JBLs. My question is: What is it about the amp that makes it sound so fantastic? - mit69
