The response's given seem to show a bias too ignorance. The Yamaha is heavier and runs fully balanced, the build quality is on another level in comparison to the Anthem. Im sure both products sound fine however the Anthem sells based on name alone. Check out the size of the caps used in the AS2000, that is all you need to see when asking if it can cope with impedance swings.
Anthem 225 vs Yamaha A-S2000
Hi guys. So I have some new speakers on the way (4ohm but high sensitivity custom scanspeak standmounts) and am looking between the Anthem and the Yamaha for a good integrated.
Unfortunately, I live in a state where I will not be able to audition, so would be grateful if anyone could give me some impressions if they have heard either of these amps.
Thank you!

The Yamaha puts out 190 watts as you can see in this review... http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/review/home_entertainment/yamaha/a-s2000/259907 .Also they was a French reviewer that just loved the yamaha a-s2000. He was using some Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation (25,000) and these speakers are hard to drive too...sensitivity is only 85.0db. He said this amp is an incredible value...compare it to integrated amps in the $5,000 to $7,000 range !.. A Classic that we will talk about for a long time! |
