Yamaha A-S801 for Dynaudio Evoke 20


Hello. I’m in love with the Dynaudio Evoke 20. They borrow some of the best stuff from Contours but at a much smaller price. Heaven.


I’ve heard them with Hegel H190 and they sounded stellar. But I don’t want to spend on the Hegels right now as this is for a second room. Our local dealer has some deals on Yamaha A-S801 and Yamaha A-S2100, both in stunning silver and both a fraction of the Hegel price. 

My question — will Dynaudios work well with the 801? That seems to have enough power, and gets rave reviews for its musicality.


Most of my music will be practical — spotify premium or tidal pro. And 60% music, 40% movies content from Netflix etc.
Thanks

I am currently using the A-S701 which has the same amplification  section as the 801 I believe. I am using it with B&W CM5s which have similar specs as the Evokes. I think the 801s would work well.

Yes, best to test with the speakers of choice. I am a fan of Dynaudio 2-ways. 

Were you interested in the Yamaha for the phonostage and DAC? 
I thought I responded earlier. Must not have posted. I believe the 801 has a better DAC, also has USB input. I believe the 801 would provide you with greater flexibility.
