The Yamaha A-S801SL is a fantastic integrated stereo amplifier
Color: Silver
The Yamaha A-S801SL is a fantastic integrated stereo amplifier. I am not exaggerating when I say that you will need to spend 2-3x more to get something better due to Hi-Fi diminishing returns. Clean, powerful, pretty linear/neutral, excellent sound-stage and separation, with good detail retrieval. Plenty of input options, the silver unit looks great, and has a nice build quality. The real gem here is the USB connection for a PC or streamer. I've read some of the other reviews about low loudness/SPL and lack of bass. I can assure you that the A-S801 has plenty of power (the power ratings are conservative, it's actually about 105 watts/channel into 8-ohms, and 150+ into 4-ohms) and it has tight/punchy bass, so I have a few thoughts... 1. Make sure that your streamer or source device is at 100% output volume. 2. Double-check your speaker wire/connection polarities and subwoofer phase if you're using a sub. 3. Many people are used to compressed music and over-emphasized, bloated bass. Use CD-quality or higher music and then allow some time to get used to how music should sound. Overall, I'm extremely happy that I got this unit for $799 during Black Friday, it's a steal at that price. I'm going back and playing my CD collection as well as streaming hi-res music from Qobuz via my Wiim Ultra, which is a superb combination. Curiously, USPS was chosen for the last mile of delivery, and that was a disaster. The package was dropped off by Amazon on-time with USPS in my city and was to be delivered later that day. But it was not delivered. Three days elapsed and USPS sent it to another city, then they sent it back to Denver (from which it had already transited), at which point it seemed like it was lost, before it found its way back to my city a second time. I cannot say anything positive for USPS. Amazon customer service was great though.

Clear and natural Amp
Color: Silver
I bought this amp to replace my Yamaha RS 202. The 202 served me so well when I started getting into analog, as it powered little klipsch bookshelf speakers so well but when my speakers upgraded (vintage pioneer St500s that I got on the cheap) I needed extra power for them. I searched and stressed over what amp to get and long story short I went for another Yamaha. I got a great deal on it, maybe an open box special, and it has completely met my expectations. I have had this amp for a little under a year and have zero complaints nor do I have any plans to upgrade any time soon. For anyone who is starting out with analog hifi and looking for upgrading their current beginner amp this amp is probably: clearer, smoother, has more emphasis and life than your current amp. The silver body is Pleasing too. I did notice that after a few weeks of playing it calmed down and really began to shine to the sound it aids today. At first it was pretty rough to the point of feeling like I made a bad decision! So don’t stress if that’s the case with your purchase. Paired with an Audiolab 6000cdt, and project carbon Evo (can’t remember the name. It was about 700) it all sounds great. Im not an audiophile just someone who enjoys the music I enjoy. The ONLY crappy thing about this is the digital program or whatever for playing music via your computer. It sucks. It drops connection after 10 mins or so. You could just get another DAC though or who cares at all if you only want to play music through a turntable or CD player. The DAC is nice as I have the cd transport hooked up to that. Other than that zero complaints. If you are like me (hardcore novice/idiot to audiophile experience and terminology) I can’t see how this would disappoint. It seems pretty powerful to me, my speakers are 200w max power, 50w rated power, 6 ohms, and they drive them easily. Maybe perfectly…so a higher rated speaker may need more power, I don’t know. Anyway, I love this amp.

Audiophile Performance on a Budget
Color: Silver
The Yamaha A-S801 is one of three systems I’ve fully optimized, and I can confidently say it’s the cornerstone of my budget-friendly yet seriously capable setup. Getting back into the audio hobby at a deeper level, I wasn’t expecting this level of performance—but the A-S801 has far exceeded all expectations. Its output is clean, powerful, and remarkably neutral, which makes it the perfect foundation for customizing your sound through external DACs, streamers, and other sources. There's no worry about underpowering speakers—this amp can confidently drive 90% of what’s on the market, including many speakers costing far more than the amp itself. I’ve paired it with Cabasse Murano Alto floorstanders, a FiiO R2R K11 DAC, and a WiiM Ultra streamer—an absolutely synergistic combination. While this may not be an “endgame” setup, the musical enjoyment it delivers is undeniable. The A-S801 opens the door to a wide range of speaker pairings and digital source options, making it one of the best sub-$1000 integrated amps out there. Like many others have said: this amp punches way above its price class. Totally impressed.

Good quality and value, but doesn't support Dolby Digital digital playback from DVDs.
Color: Silver
Just received this late Dec 2016, I may update later. The excellent sound and build quality are evident right out of the box. Very simple to setup and operate because there are so few options (which is just what I wanted). This amp is replacing a 2005-ish Onkyo 7.1 receiver overkill for my small office. My setup is the amp with DVD/CD player on coax, iStream ipod DAC on line in, and a LCD TV on optical. Speakers are SVS Primes (on A) and Polk M10 (on B). I also have an ancient sub that works well enough for now. Everything works as expected but for one small (but important) detail: the digital inputs only work with mundane PCM 2 channel signals. This is OK for CD playback, but is useless for every DVD I have tested so far. All the DVDs have 2 channel digital audio only in Dolby Digital format. The A-S801 doesn't support Dolby digital, so I can't use the coax output from the DVD/CD into the amp. Instead, I have to run DVD audio via HDMI into the TV where it gets converted to analog audio, and then re-converted back into PCM digital out the TV's optical output. The TV optical output goes into the amp optical input. This works, but I am surely loosing DVD sound quality compared to using the original digital signal straight from the DVD/CD player (as when playing CDs on the same unit). I suppose this issue can be blamed on me because I didn't realize that the DVD/CD digital output would be different for DVD and CD playback. But even my cheapo LCD TV can handle Dolby Digital 2 channel format, so I am very disappointed that the Yamaha A-S801 lacks that basic feature. Aside from that snafu I am very pleased with the amp so far. I'll update later if required.

Best Integrated Amp deal out there
Color: Silver
I wish I could give this *six* stars. I've always liked jazz live, but I never liked it recorded until I got this amp. If you're looking for a classic stereo for MUSIC, this is probably the best bang for the buck deal out there. There are simply more high points to this amp than I am willing to point out, but by far the sound quality is the single best - from any source. The unit is really, really good on 'normal' mode, but truly shines when the 'Pure Direct' mode is on (assuming you have a quality source). The most profound improvements I saw with this amp were in the imaging and soundstage - this thing delivers far beyond its price point. I'm pairing this with Klipsch RP260F Ebony (Ea.) Tower Speaker, AudioQuest Rocket 33 Speaker Cable (15 feet/pair)- Silver BFA Bananas, and streaming or turntable input. Another highpoint is the *superb* DAC. No loss at the highest volume I'm willing to test. Jazz, acoustic, classical chamber music, and other music that is highly dependent on sounding 'live' specifically sounds fantastic. The only two gripes I have with this are 1) You will suddenly feel incredibly annoyed with even mediocre recording quality because the difference with good quality is so apparent. If you're listening to Spotify etc, this is a real issue because really good quality is mixed in with real garbage in terms of recording quality, and 2) Every thing about this unit is so dead-on-exactly what a (relatively) low budget audiophile piece should be that the single sub-woofer out is noticeable and annoying. This thing seriously comps with units costing 2 or 3 times the price... it's hard not to expect everything. Bottom line: If you're putting together a complete system for anything less than $8-10K, get this unit and spend the rest on speakers. Here is the best serious review I've seen on this amp: [...] NOTE: The Yamaha YBA-11 Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver for Yamaha AV Products is a separate purchase. It's OK, meaning 3 stars. It will only pair with ONE device at a time and needs to de-pair with that device or all others are blocked. Also, it seriously degrades sound quality. Really, it's noticeable... and not in a good way. The only plus is sheer convenience. Works great form movies. Typically I end-run this problem by plugging my computer or iPad in to the USB jack and controlling spotify remotely on my phone and the volume/mute/other settings with the remote. Really, this isn't an issue... if you're serious about streaming music either drop the money on a Sonos or don't bother spending more than $250 on your whole system because that's the quality you'll be getting anyway.

Love it so much I bought two!
Color: Silver
I love this amp so much a bought a second one. Pros: 9 inputs (totally awesome - enough to hook up 8 track, minidisc, cassette/DCC, DAT, CD/DVD Audio/SACD, Turntable, Tuner and USB and maybe even reel to reel tape or some other obscure format) Built in USB DAC - plays almost all formats via a standard USB cable For the most part, a great build quality Sounds great Super easy to use Phono (turntable) input - this is often missing from modern receivers/amplifiers Cons: No built-in Bluetooth (but pretty easy to add an adapter) There's no built in radio (but really, internet streaming sounds way better anyway and most radio stations are online) Built in headphone amp seems just so-so The 4 knobs for Bass, Treble, Balance and Loudness feel really cheap and flimsy. I'm sure they will work just fine for years, but when you are paying about $1,000 for an amplifier you expect everything to feel solid The remote control is basically like 1980's/1990's crap - super small buttons and no backlighting There's no iOS/Andorid app, no networking, no WiFi, no display - this is very basic except for the DAC There's no front panel input for a phone/mp3 player If you've thought about getting a 1970's receiver for great classic sound quality, I highly recommend that you get this instead. I have a Pioneer SX-650 that also sounds great but this apmplifier sounds just as good, plus it has a remote, subwoofer pre-out, and a nice DAC and way more source inputs. This amplifier does just about everything and will most likely fit your HiFi needs for many years to come. I mostly use this for connecting to my PCs using Roon software and my ripped CDs and TIDAL and Google Play for sources. The media room speakers I use are Pioneer SP-BS21-LR (awesome value) and the kitchen set up has Pioneer SP-FS52-LR Andrew Jones tower speakers (another great value). The set up sounds great with video games and YouTube videos too. I also have a sonos connect hooked up to both receivers and use the PC application and android apps to control them and the other home theater receivers and Sonos players I have around the house. Love it! Sounds crystal clear and is loud enough to have the police show up at your door. What more do you really need? :-)

Yamaha A-S801 got stuck in 'standby' mode and had to be returned
Color: Silver
On the first day I used it, the Yamaha A-S801 got stuck in 'standby mode' and would not power up. Suggestions from well-meaning Amazon members were attempted, but all failed to correct the problem. For the brief time that it worked, the amp sounded great - now deciding whether or not to take chance on another one.

5 OUT OF 5 STARS!!
Color: Silver
I purchased the Yamaha A-S801SL for my office music system and it has exceeded my expectations. The build quality is excellent with a beautiful classic silver finish that looks fantastic with vintage-style gear. It feels solid, well engineered, and exactly what you expect from Yamaha. Sound quality is outstanding. The amplifier delivers clean, detailed audio with plenty of power and excellent bass control. The built-in DAC is a big bonus and makes digital sources sound incredibly clear and dynamic. Overall, this is a superb integrated amplifier for anyone who values high-quality stereo music listening. Yamaha really nailed the combination of classic design, modern features, and exceptional sound.
