The AKAI AM59, 69 is the last top model of the Japanese manufacturer before it was bought by a Chinese company. It meant the end of the Akai hifi system. It is a powerful AKAI HiFi stereo integrated amplifier weighing more than 13 kg with very good sound properties and high performance, REC-Out switch, as well as 7 audio inputs including Phono (MM / MC) and connections for 2 speaker pairs A / B. AM69 adds even more digital inputs.
