Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe

The Yamamoto A-08S is a great amp but it does not have sufficient power to drive the AN speakers properly. Neither do the Wavelength Lightning 45 or the Audio Note Neiro.

I have the speakers in my showroom and have had all those amps here for extended periods.

Believe whom you choose.

No it won't.

The nominal impedance is 6 ohms but the curve is too erratic for a 2WPC amplifier.

I wouldn't use any amp less than 10WPC on those speakers.

All IMO

For edification purposes directed specifically at the uninformed/inexperienced posters, the Yamamoto A-08S is a marvelous amplifier.

I've been doing this audio thing for 50+ years and believe there is a mild positive correlation between price and performance.

However, it is not a hard and fast rule by any means that high price equals high performance. Far from it in fact.

IMO

To Br3098,
It may have worked "fine" but you have not heard what the speakers are fully capable of doing.

Been there, done that.

Thank you.
