  • Very clean sound
Style: A-S701 Color: Silver
First off, I've been using vintage equipment for a while. The problem is the constant breakdown of 40 year old equipment so i decided to go modern. I didn't want another BPC receiver, I've had two, a pioneer and a Sony, neither of which had any any real output, I had to turn them way up to get loud but was never satisfied with the sound quality, but then I found the Yamaha integrated amp with the silver face. Very clean lines, not cluttered with multiple switches. Its paired with a set of Klipsch R26FA speakers. The amp has only an A, B and A+B selection. A is hooked to the front speakers while the B is hooked to the top firing Atmos speakers. It has a subwoofer output which I attached to a Klipsch K100SW powered subwoofer. I have a large listening room and this set up fills the room with sound that you can feel as well as hear. I still use a vintage turntable and tape deck but I have an Echo Link hooked up as well. The sound is awesome, but then I said that already. I also have a top of the line modern Panasonic Blu-ray hooked up, when I watch a concert video it's almost like being there. A vintage Pioneer tuner completes the package however I have ordered the tuner from Yamaha so I can utilize the presets which can be accessed from the remote. With 100WPC at 8 ohms, it's got plenty of room, I barely turn it half way up and thats loud enough especially since i added the subwoofer. I rarely have to move the bass/treble control from neutral to get astonishing sound. Yamaha also has a "pure" CD and all input selector that bypasses all the internal filters if you want to hear exactly what the component signal sounds like. This becomes in handy if you have adjusted the bass/treble controls and want to revert back to the neutral setting without having to adjust the controls afterwards. There are three additional inputs as well as inputs for phono, cd, tuner and optic cable. Another plus of modern equipment is remote control. My Pioneer and Sony receivers had incredibly complicated remotes that usually required reading the instructions whenever i wanted to do anything with it other than powering on/off or adjusting volume. The remote with this model is like the amp, simple clean lines/controls and doesn't require a rocket science degree to comprehend. This amp also has an analog volume control which moves when you access it via the remote. Cons: no outlets on the amp. Not a big deal but I like having my turntable hooked up to an amp switched outlet so it can't turn on unless the amp is turned on. It would also be nice if it had the ability to run 3 channels simultaneously so I could bi-wire the front speakers but honestly my sound is impressive. Also no tape monitor which limits what I can do with my vintage equalizer. Another lack is a low volume bass boost, but since the bass is usually at neutral I've found I can turn it up a smidgen to get improved bass at low volume. By doing this and utilizing the Pure Input it is almost like having the bass boost option. Another improvment Yamaha could have added is a mute function on the amp control face. It does have one on the remote. There is "Loudness" control on the panel. This control can variably lower the volume without adjusting the main volume control. It is useful when I want to change the music selection on Alexa since she can't hear me talking when I have the volume pumped up. Afterwards i can resume at the volume I had previously dialed in. No HDMI input but then this isn't meant for a home theater. On the other hand it does have an optic input. It does have a USB output to power something, i don't use it yet, maybe I can power my echo dot with it or perhaps dress up the rack with an led tape to add a little color...or not The control and power on indicator lights could be a little bigger or brighter. From across the room I cant see them at all Overall impression...I'm very happy with this amp. Yamaha signature "natural sound". It plays my music clearly and loud enough to piss off the neighborhood if I wanted to. I wouldn't recommend it for a home theater system since it only has two speaker channels but that isn't what I wanted it for. If you want a clean sound and a silver vintage look without breaking the bank you couldn't go wrong with this amp. Just be sure to get a set of speakers with the legs to run the horsepower and you won't be disappointed ... show more

  • Excellent 2 Channel Integrated Amplifier
Style: A-S801 Color: Black
I am really enjoying listening to music and my TV with this amp. The operation is seamless. The DAC works very well. The sound of my TV through the optical input is excellent. Ditto for streaming with my Google TV attached to my TV. I have listened to CDs using my Marantz CD 5004 using its DAC, but will hook it up using coax or optical at some point to see if the Yamaha DAC is better. I do not miss the HDMI input of my previous AVR. The phono pre amp works well though I continue to use my Schitt Mani which I bought recently, about a month before I decided to upgrade my AVR entirely. Sightly better but not a night and day difference for me. The remote has a great, solid feel. It lacks control for treble, bass, and balance but, since I almost always use the pure direct feature, that is of minimal importance. While many others think the lack of an led for the volume control on the unit is an issue, I have no problem with that. I set the volume down after use and then control it using the remote. What I would like to have is the ability to set the volume to a default when turning the unit on. It would also be nice if the volume was held constant moving form one input to another. The much lower volume when turning off Pure Direct makes switching for sound comparisons impossible for me. It is likely a sign of how much Pure Direct eliminates from the signal chain. Despite reporting several criticisms, I still rate it highly. The sound, looks, and ease and smoothness of operation make it an easy recommendation. It has a lot of raw power. A third party technical review noted that Yamaha's power rating is sightly short of its actual performance! Both for 8 and 4 ohms. I would take off 1/2 a star if I could to a small extent because of my criticisms but more because nothing is perfect and I may want to upgrade at some point in the future. Who knows? ... show more
