Classe move to China
How many of you who would never consider buying Chinese made hi-end audio gear shop at Wal-Mart regularly? If you combined all the sales of Chinese made audio gear ever sold on earth since the invention of electricity, you would not match the doll... 
Monitor Audio Made in China?
Didn't Reagan call that "tinkle down"? == the rising tide that lifts all boats. Sadly I know a lot of peoples' boats that were flipped and lost in the Wall Street wake. 
Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good?
Pubul57 - Your selection would depend on which sensory function you used to establish preference. Your eyes, your ears, your ego or your inner accountant might all direct you toward one of those two products or the other. I might prefer the Accuph... 
Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good?
Takisjk is attempting to lead you out of the wilderness. Like me, he has found that obtaining a very good, user-friendly integrated amplifier with full features, reasonable pricing and a monstrously stable manufacturing source can set you free fro... 
Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good?
While never having seen or heard of your amp, I will say that the A-S2000 is likely to outperform your current Yamaha by a wide margin.The risk of disappointment in this case is minute.

Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good?
Mapman - You are confusing brave with stupid. In any case, I was being sarcastic because I realize now that anyone who has a use for this amp should buy it without hesitation. Whether or not it surpasses other options in performance, it romps all ...

I was a brave boy. I waded right in and bought my A-S2000 without a reviewer holding my hand. So far, I feel like I got away with it.Of course, I did take a lot of encouragement from that sale price. Get it while you can. Surely it can't go on for...

Count your blessings. Most guys will tell you that their woman just put her foot down and insisted you change something. Instead your girl chose to fix the "problem" herself making changes she needed in a way that costs you nothing in terms of per...

I'm surprised to see no mention of TWL. He stood as one of the most interesting and pioneering individuals I met through this site. Is he still camping in Tennessee?One of the reasons I tire of reading this stuff is the perpetual emphasis in brand... 
Speakers that are RAP music proof
