Anybody else have experience upgrading from this amp? How does the A-S2100 compare?
Yamaha A-S801 owners. Did you upgrade?
My A-S801 is driving Bryston Mini-T speakers (86db, 4ohm) well. I'm enjoying the sound as well as the versatility of the A-S801. I listen to 100% Deezer Premium via Sonos Connect (optical to 801's dac).
But, I feel more power might make the Mini T's sing a bit more, and I'm considering a change.
My budget is about $2500. Right now, my frontrunner for a demo is the PS Audio S300 with Gain Cell DAC combo (300w at 4 ohm). Due to amp placement (credenza), amp heat has to be considered.
If you've have/had an A-S801, I'd be interested to learn your experience around "upgrading" to a different amp. If you've heard the S300/Gain Cell, I'd appreciate learning about your thoughts on that too.
Thanks.
