Well, I too am passionate about amps and front sound stage, so I shall be investing in a mcintosh perhaps today!

kgerry and DYohn, i absolutely agree with you two on the technology part of mcintosh, old or new they are what they are, nice amps.

uthink, i wouldn't expect any other answer from you but at least you are consistent.

I think the mcintosh opportunity has been shot down, due to space resrictions, so I have a Nak pa-504 or the pa-2004 available, what are the big differences between the two?

The PA-504 is an older model (1995-99) rated at 50W X 4.  It is a very nice amp with a nice clean crossover, designed in Japan and made in the USA.  The equivalent amp today is the PA-1004.  The PA-2004 is a larger amp rated at 100W X 4, and includes a nice crossover and their new electronics called "Harrmonic Time Alignment" which is basically a digital DSP time delay system.  I have it turned off on mine.  Some early PA-2004's were built in the US but most you can find available today were built in Taiwan or China.  A very nice amp.

Sorry to bring this thread back, but I am now an owner of the Nakamichi pa-2004. just dropped $450 on it about 20 mins. ago. The only strange thing about it is the little hardware kit that comes with it contains two allen wrenches, neither of which work on the amp or the agu fuse holder. go figure.
The amp says handcrafted in the usa, is that legit?
Thanks again to all who put in their two cents.

If it says that on the case, you have one of the good ones!  Congrats.  Your Rainbows should really come alive.  At least one of the allen wrenches should fit the M5 hex head bolts they supply to mount the amp...

I tried both of them, perhaps I am too nervous to figure it out, but I tried a few times. I don't have my tools where I am, and I must get that cover off, its killing me not being able to see all those buttons and switches...
I hope they will too, as well as gaining some volume, as i have doubled my power so a gain of 3dbs (or so) right?
