Your experience as Yamamoto owner?

Thanks guys.

I'm intrigued by the lack of owners and threads about this brand. I was aware of Srajan's reviews and those also fueled my interest. The few things I came around sound appealing, but the fact they are so few are also making me pause.

Charles1dad, thanks for the name! I knew there was another rep back in 2005 when Srajan wrote his articles and knew they were out of biz, but didn't know there was a new one. I will get in touch.

I was hoping to be able to discuss with the manufacturer because my intended use is a bit different from mainstream (mainstream in the context of a niche like flea-powered SETs, that is). Will see what Ocellia has to say. Still, I can speak with Elina at Lamm, for example, when I have a question...I was hoping a similar situation when dealing with another niche manufacturer. Oh well.

FWIW, I'm building my own 4-way active speakers, and plan to use a pair of Yamamotos to drive the tweeters and midranges directly. Tweeters are 102dB/W and 5ohm flat impedance. The midranges are TBD, but a couple 100dB/W options and some are 8ohm and could do one at 16ohm. With only one pair of speaker outputs in the Yamamotos I'm not sure what impedance they are expected to be connected to. Hopefully the North American distributor will know.

Thanks all for the input.

I contacted Ocellia and they are being responsive, which is great.

Jrinkerptdnet and Gsm18439 owned an A-08S but decided they neeeded more power. I realize power is THE challenge for the 45 tube, which is likely most noticeable in the bass.
How did you like the trebble and midrange the A-08S provided, compared to other SETs?

I was on DejaVu's website but didn't see a link to their own amps. Does anyone have a link?
Jond, since you have one of their amps and own the YDA-1...ever compared Yamamoto amps to DejaVu's?

Thanks again!

Thanks for the heads-up guys. It does look utilitarian indeed.
