I bought the N77 and companion pre-amp 1000ESD when they were introduced in the US in 1989. Super clean sound out of this extremely heavy and solid amp. Sony says it clocks in at 55lbs but it feels twice that, so I recommend you get help moving one because you don't ever want to drop it. The amp worked flawlessly for 15 years straight of daily use until I started experiencing intermittant one channel speaker cut out. The six light bulbs also blew out because Sony wired them in series - so when one goes, they all do. After almost 10 years sitting on a shelf I decided to have it repaired and it is now back to original and perfect working condition. I opted to replace the original bulbs with originals rather than go the LED route because I like the warm glow of the incandescents. Highly recommend this amp to anyone looking for a ton of clean power. Prices have started to soar on this monster, so the sooner the better.Read full review

I have a Rotel 1080 200x2 a B@k 200X2 and other assorted amplifiers and this Sony is unbelievable in comparison. When I purchased the amplifier I had no idea what I had. I bought from the original owner than new I was an audio nut and told my mom he would like someone that would appreciate it having it. At 55lb and two huge Vu Meters on the front it looks strange this is a big amp. When I got it to my test room and started to mess with it the power and clarity was unbelievable no clipping this is a unbelievable amplifier if you find one buy it you have a chance to own Sony's masterpiece. It will run in mono mode at 650 so with two of these it would be unreal. I am using a Rotel RSP-1098 Pre amp and a pair of B&W 683 and the power if you like you can feel, with HD music it is clean an ever element of the music comes threw beautifullyRead full review
