If recapping is a fool’s errand why bother? Better to use the money toward newer amps. I needed to know. I may do both but I would like to express that the Yamaha M-2 was well respected back in the day. It is still possible that I may yet invest in some Classe gear after recapping the Yamaha.
I have some Dahlquist DQ10 speakers I spent $2,000 on rebuilding them before I retired them. I still own them. Even though I seldom use them I’ll argue that I owed them something for their decades of faithful service.
Ever own an old faithful dog? Nothing was too good for my Christopher.
