Review on Yamaha A-S301BL Integrated Stereo Amplifier - Enhanced Natural Sound | Black by Richard Mangum

Can't say enough good things about this amp. Obviously just do one thing and do it well, and that's exactly what Yamaha has done with this integrated amp. Firstly it's beautiful, its build quality is superb, secondly its sound is punchy, powerful, transients are lightning fast, the sound is super articulate, the highs are as great as the bass this amp can deliver and I won. Not to mention that the mids are just as outstanding. I connected USB A to B 3.0 with an Audioquest Cinnamon cable to stream Spotify from my desktop computer to bypass the onboard sound card and it leaves me stunned by its performance. I've had a lot of audio equipment in my time and currently have three systems: a shop stereo, a cinema in the living room and then a stereo with this new Yamaha in the gym. I use it on my Bowers & Wilkins DM-604 S3 and it's just legendary. It rivals, if not better than the Denon AVR-4810CI with the Bowers & Wilkins CM-10 in the cinema, it's that good. I highly recommend this Yamaha and have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars.
