New Yamaha integrated amps


Just a few days ago I checked the Yamaha site to see if they really were releasing a new S lineup. I read somewhere (maybe Reddit or here) that they were going to release updated S series integrated amps. Well, I checked again tonight, and voila! There they are---the new A-S1200, 2200 and 3200 (flagship). I'm in the process of looking for a new integrated and the 2100 was on my radar. I'd like to see what's different on these. I bet the older models will have some sweet deals. Has anyone seen or heard them yet!

Sure the Yamaha 2200 has a slightly better wiring on the outputs and now uses a Torroidal transformer roughy the same size it bass is slightly more articulate and top end slightly more transparent slightly,side by side ,maybe a few % at most.
I wrote a fast brief yes maybe hard to follow, but if you know parts well you would not have an issue with the brands  mentioned regarding the applications . If you can as I mentioned accessories plus factory refurbs silver S 2100 at $2300 plus dam tax now free shipping is a steal , the 2200 is only slightly better if side by side.
you get 1 yr warranty vs 2 , and a factory authorized seller. Save your bucks to do a great full mod of your 2100  or any model 
Thst is a very smart game plan save for a year and then max it out 
the transformation is incredible !!in the meantime use a good power good and some respectable matching cables for each brand cables had its own sonic differences. I don’t recommend these blends mixed silver copper for I have experienced uneven 
balances at different frequencies smearing . Just my observation 
nothing more .
I had a 2100, sold it, was a very special amp. I thought this 2200 would be miles ahead but based on the comments it will be just slightly better. Agree that mods could make the 2100 better, that was very interesting audioman, thank you
From feedback I heard You might want to look at the Teac TN-505 and Teac AP-505 amps before spending much more !
Modding is my plan ,if you look at the 3200 the 2100,2200 are almost the same 
just much better parts from A to Z ,and the 21-2200 have much better parts 
quality then Any $6 k integrated in the market ,you want proof look at several 2100 reviews and loook st pictures all Parts from Japan 90% Nichicon gold rune 
are premium caps , big 22k Nippon low esr power caps . My plan is to sink around $2500-$3k into fully maxing it out without question it will better the 3200
it is a great design ,we are just going to put in the top tier psrts transformers 
and everything else leave whst is good like the Nichicon caps and customize everythung else and top WBat Copper gold rca,and speaker terminals the 3200 
has not done that. And a potted bigger like a 800 va piltron potted vs the 625 
Adds  much more head room and potting lowers noise floor bigger 28k uf caps x4 ,all these little things add up .I have a friend in the UK Thst maxed it out 
and he knows audio very well easily beats the 3200 which is a excellent integrated amp, please realize for every $10 spent in psrts the company charges 4-5x That in markup. Thst is why modding is great and most cost effective and have the best of the best parts 70% goes into the parts 30% in the labor 
$3k=$12k+ is a great investment .  For years Modwright  has made his living on mods .having been in audio for over 40+ years and owning a Audio store 
and learning all about mods to be it’s a great investment .others don’t like to 
live on the edge they just want to enjoy. I look at as a challenge like if you had a 350 chevy engine and said let’s make this a 500 hp SS . My whole system has 
no gold brass connectors Anywhere Copper is far better sounding and a much better conductor like 3 x as much . If you want a well established modded email me enjoy your music ☮️🎻🎶.
