The A-s1000 looks to be a big step up in quality over the 801. Less rated wattage, but 4 ohm rated, which means a beefier power supply. But for many people I'm sure the 801 would be a worthy contender. To be honest I've never heard a recent Yamaha integrated, but have owned 3 Nad amps, hence my bias!
Opinion on Yamaha Amps
Hi,
What does everyone think about the Yamaha line of integrated amps? I have seen positive reviews for the Yamaha As801 and the even higher end models in the range at least look fantastic. If it helps I am also considering buying a peachtree nova 65se. Right now I have Wharfedale 10.1s and a Rel T5 subwoofer hooked up to a cheap Denon A/V receiver. I am interested in eventually getting the KEF LS50s or something from Zu audio to pair up with whatever integrated I wind up buying.
Thanks for the help!
