I've always respected Yamaha, back in the 80's, I had a receiver called, the R-100, that was a really good sounding receiver, still to this day, best sound for a receiver.
Yamaha? Welcome back!
After years of mass market average components Yamaha is making huge strides in the audiophile market with their new "natural sound" integrated amps. I lost my tube amp to a bad move and replaced it with a Yamaha 2100 integrated amp. I was blown away by the headroom and warm sound. It seems like they have taken notice of the high end market again. Welcome back!
