I have an A-S 801 and am not sure about it. it seems laidback and a little dry sounding tried several power cords My NAD 317 sounds more live with sharper images. I had a Marantz PM 8004 a while ago and wonder how it would compare. Do not get me wrong the 801 is great just not sure it is good with rock and blues.
Opinion on Yamaha Amps
Hi,
What does everyone think about the Yamaha line of integrated amps? I have seen positive reviews for the Yamaha As801 and the even higher end models in the range at least look fantastic. If it helps I am also considering buying a peachtree nova 65se. Right now I have Wharfedale 10.1s and a Rel T5 subwoofer hooked up to a cheap Denon A/V receiver. I am interested in eventually getting the KEF LS50s or something from Zu audio to pair up with whatever integrated I wind up buying.
Thanks for the help!
