emjaysea Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 My dad's old power amp is having some problems, and while I'm looking into getting it repaired, I also want to know what my options are for getting a replacement amp for these beefy KEF 107s. The amp that has been driving them for the past 25 years is a Nakamichi Stasis PA-7. I see them going for $1000 and more on ebay today. My dad passed away in 2001, so it's up to me to see the old stereo into the future. My budget is $500 tops. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a more powerful one at the top of your limit: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=245-504Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emjaysea Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks Kent! I've bookmarked the xls1000, which has plenty of power. I'm hoping the old Nakamichi can be brought up to specs for less than my $500 budget, as 25 years of service is not to be dismissed, but I'm not holding my breath. If it can't, I'll pick up the Crown and give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 That Nak may well be worth restoring. I'm not familiar with it, but googled and found this outfit in Ontario: http://www.dnaelectr..._pa-7_pics.htmlThere's lots of info on the 'net, which I imagine you've read. Those Nak amps were a Nelson Pass "Stasis" designs, licensed through Threshold. By all accounts a very nice and very durable amp.My technician in NJ is a genius and may very well be able to bring it up to spec. He's not into wholesale recapping or other "audiophile mods" but is a master technician.
