I still have my Akai AA-940. In my past life I used this for my DJ business. Regular set up 4 speakers running 2 turn tables enough power to shake the windows.
Oh wow...that's kinda neat. So, it had enough grunt to power those four speakers easily. Do you remember what type of speakers you were using back then?
I like akai sound, I had akai receivers aa1030, 1175, amplifier am2650, which I also like, but aa 5500 is better, aa 5500 is the same year as akai receiver aa 940, so they could be the same in sound, I had a lot of marantz receivers 2230 , 2270, 2238( the best of these marantz I had ), 2235b, pioneer sx450, sx750, sx737, sansui 771, HK330c (very good) akai aa5500 is the amplifier with the best sound for me
Great video! Few days ago I bought Akai AS 980. At the moment I am looking for a good vintage speakers. Could you please recommend some model? Thanks. Best wishes
Nice score - a four channel powerhouse! I think most average sensitivity speakers would work. It partially depends on your "flavor"... Personally, I'd find a nice pair of vintage KLH model 5's, best it would sing!
If you up the frequency of your videos you will get way more subs. The quality is an order of magnitude better than 6 months ago. You need a better mic. Good work man. The intro was epic.
Appreciate it. I am looking into something different to record with. Currently, it's just my phone (lol). I certainly try to do something a bit different than just record a static piece of equipment.

These are some of the best videos on vintage audio. Well done !
Wow, thanks! Glad you liked it.

Nice, keep up good work:) cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
have you heard the akai amplifier aa 5500
No, I don't think so. How does it sound?

@@1JGP1 beautiful, similar to your description for aa940
they are from the same year of production
Surprised that you found it lacking in bass. My AA-940 has really decent, tuneful bass. I'm using it through KEF 103.2s. Sounds incredible.
It is a very good sounding receiver. I just find it, for the time, a more accurate sounding unit. I certainly enjoyed it!
