New Yamaha a-s3000 and a-s2100 integrated amps ??

The last Yamaha integrated I heard sounded kind of hard and dry. I think it was the SA-2000. Have you guys heard that one and is the S2100 and 3000 smoother/warmer?

Tasos1, How would you compare the sound of the Yamaha A-S2100 compared to the Simaudio I7 you had a few years back?

Anybody know where the is Yamaha A-S2100 made?

I think the series are made in Malaysia.

I think the series are made in Malaysia.

Too bad. These new Yamahas look like nice amps. One would think at this price level, Yamaha would build them in Japan. Like the upper level stuff from Marantz built at their reference factory in Japan.
