Nakamichi PA-7 KEEPER??


OK I need a little help.....I have come across a Nakamichi PA-7 power amp that was a one owner and is in great shape, sounds great.....is it a keeper?

I currently have a 200w per Rotel power amp that I am not at all unsatisfied with running with a Rotel Pre , but , is the Nak a lot better amp??.....looks like its a high $$ unit and somewhat rare.

the reading I have done talks it up as a near class A amp , but the internet has more opinions than I need and you never know who's giving them. At least asking here I know I am getting good info.......any help will be appreciated

I had a Forte' 55 that sounded amazing, but I was always concerned about the age thing (built in maybe 1997)...it wasn't expensive and I sold it for nearly twice what I bought it for, but that sort of worry can be bothersome. Upgrades can be costly, replacing leaky caps...meh...I bought a new tube amp to replace it so it was a different direction, but the warranty on new stuff does add to my peace of mind. Pass had something to do with certain Adcom amps and my experience of owning a few of these is that they can be workhorse amps that sound pretty damn good. I use one for outdoor speakers now.
