Review on 🔊 Yamaha A-S201 Integrated Stereo Amplifier in Black: Powerful Sound in a Sleek Design by Edyta Maria ᠌

I'd give it a 4.5. It was a major decision for me to settle on an amplifier. My original intention was to use it with a PC and S-90F. The amplifier is nearly too weak for these speakers, I must say. The review is based on a comparison to the Radio Engineering U-7111, to which they had been linked previously. I should mention that before to that, I hooked up the speakers to a number of various movie theaters, but the sound quality was never as good as it is now with the Yamaha and the same radio gear. So. There was a lot of theories and ways for achieving high-quality sound, at a price of no more than 15k–16k, but that was the biggest challenge I faced. Power-wise, a yamaha will be no match for radio engineering, which is expected to be 40% (according to feelings) more powerful. If you don't need to jam the fish in the next river with bass (well, that's an exaggeration), then the Yamaha is a decent choice because of the "purity" of its sound. And now I'll talk about the cost once again. Even with my own speakers, much older versions are required for them to fully expose themselves, so if you're prepared to invest money on an amplifier (and your speakers "may") - do it. If not, the YAMAHA A-S201 is a solid option, or if you're lucky enough to track down a vintage radio like mine in working shape, you can expect to hear respectable tones. The rapid shutdown timer is the sole significant drawback. When "the lights are turned on" again after a network power outage, the amplifier often goes on even though it had been off.
