Hello Fred, I never used a Nakamichi receiver before, just tape decks, but I had a Carver HR-722 which failed after 20+ years of faithful service, most probably similar to your unit. After a long research I picked the Yamaha R-S700 and I am very happy with it. This is a 100 W x2 receiver, 2x 4 ohms or 4x 8 output, 2 recorders inputs, CD, 2 aux inputs (line 2 & 3), phono, pre/main separation, tuner, zone 2 for a second amplifier, subwoofer output, and connections for Sirius and iPod (this last 2 requires additional peripherals not included). Can't compare any current receiver since don't have you receiver model, just the brand, but I am sure that any received from the R-Sxxx product line from Yamaha will do the job.

My right surround speaker went out also after a week. Brand new speaker. First thing I did was check to see if the speaker was bad. Turns out it was...not the receiver. I assume you checked the speaker?

Yahama uses Better High current Transisters and (Burr Brown) Decoders. Many also complain about excess Heat with some Onkyo Receivers, That would concern me about long term Durability.

Hello we have this speaker and we used it for our renewal ceremony. We used a "Y" Cable that ran from our laptop to the speaker and it worked very well. You can find it in any radio shack or electronic store or even walmart. I hope this helps.

My unit quit at two years. Lovely! Onkyo is junk! I bought a comparable Denon. I recommend that to you.

Hi Stacey! I relly can not imagine what could have happened with this unit. Mine works fine, good sound. I owned one for over a year and no problem so far.

Are you sure that you've installed the unit correctly? Inputs connected to inputs, and outputs connected to outputs? Additionally, have you verified that the impedance switches are set correctly? Lastly, have you removed the volume control, bridges the speaker wires, to eliminate a fault in the cables or speakers? If you've tried all this, and still experience trouble, I'd say it's possible that you may have a faulty unit..

I looked at the MM6501s for a long time before ordering. During that time, last fall, a number of sites listed Mobile Monitor-series speakers as out-of-stock or discontinued. Vendors that had them were sell them for half list-price. At one point, Polk's own website pulled info about some of them. All this indicated the speakers reached End-of-life and Polk was likely clearing product channel while discontinuing them.. or at least before releasing an updated version. I can't say for sure, but I believe you're looking at an updated SKU versus the previous version of the product. I'm not sure what's different. I'd hope the newer ones are better in some way. That said, the older version is pretty amazing. I put a lot of time into sound deadening the doors on my car prior to installing the speakers so hopefully i'm hearing them under the best install circumstances.. but the results are unmistakable. They're an amazing 6.5 component system. I was listening to Luscious Jackson, Fever in Fever out yesterday and the bass lines were deep and clear.. highs shimmered.. full mids. My system is only partially built out.. speakers with stock headunit.. no amp, no sub. The MMs don't move nearly as much air as a small sub but they to reach deep. I'm debating even building a sub cab next spring. I think I'll have plenty bass with a new head unit and an amp. I can't imagine Polk can provide a significant improvement over the previous version. Hope this helps.

Mine failed in February right after the warranty expired. Onkyo fixed it out-of-warranty and - alas - it failed right after the six month warranty on the out-of-warranty repair expired. I'm looking for something else.

the system has 5 speakers plus a powered sub woofer. the 2 rear speakers are the only speakers that are operated by the soundcast system. they worked fine from the time I that I installed them until about a week or two ago. once again the soundcast is only being used fo the 2 satellite speakers. when they stopped working I disconnected one of the rear speakers and hooked it directly to the receiver and the speaker worked fine. I don't understand why amazon is involved in a warranty problem at this time because I contacted you first and was told I had to contact soundcast?

The one I purchased worked fine and I had sound. you just had to get up and push the button to change the channel if you will between the different devices. Sounds like you could have a faulty adapter.

I have had the same experience (loud buzz, dropped signal). Very disappointing in a system of this cost. Is Nuforce intending on fixing this or is our only approach - as commented previously - to defeat the bluetooth and direct wire, which defeats the point of the system? With the advent of new bluetooth systems that have entered the market I would suggest that if Nuforce doesn't provide a fix to this problem that they will fail.

Mine failed today. I found out Onkyo has issued a recall for loss of audio. They are giving me the option to have it repaired or a $125 rebate towards a new receiver. Going to get it repaired and be done with Onkyo if it fails again. This was my 2nd Onkyo receiver and both of them had issues with the HDMI board.

Dear John--Great!Although I am an electronic engineer, I never had installed a serious audio system until a few months ago. At the time, I was amazed that people with non-technical backgrounds were able to get their Surround Sound systems going, especially considering the sometimes inaccurate and usually incomplete instructions from the component manufacturers. I am thankful for this and other forums that help fill the information vacuum!Best Regards--Bill

Hello, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you about this. As I just mentioned to another customer, we didn't see several December questions for some reason. I'm interested to know more about the left / right issue you're having with your audio. Please shoot us an email: contact@mmt2.com and we'll troubleshoot this immediately. Best, MMT

Yes, the exact one and the same. I last uded this on October 17 through October 18 2013 with excellent results once again. I very highly recommend you purchase an auxillary speaker to help hear what is coming through. Without an auxillary speaker you won't hear much and will wish you purchased a speaker. Also, get a speaker of quality. The one I bought was only $15.00 from radio shack and is very poorly made. Spend $30.00 or more on an external speaker- you'll be very happy you did. I hope I helped you and good happy hunting! :) -Kevin S., Youngstown Ohio.
