Yamaha A-S700BL Integrated Amplifier (Black) Reviews
| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Nice 1970s Retro Looking Amp with 21st Century Sound, By AudiophileHeadCase (Santa Fe, New Mexico) - See all my reviews This review is from: Yamaha A-S700BL Integrated Amplifier (Black) (Electronics) The look of this amp is simple and straight forward. Nothing fancy here. Yeah, the plastic vertical knobs are a turn-off and the quality of the controls could be better at this premium price. What were Yamaha engineers thinking when they shaved a minuscule $5 off their production costs on a primo "audiophile" amp by employing plastic knobs? Jeeze! Inside is a different story. The build quality is every bit as good as what you'll find in a high-end Denon amp at the kilo-buck price point -- very clean and well laid out construction.Overlooking the poor choices Yamaha made on the exterior, when you hook up a high quality CD and push the "CD Direct" (and "Pure Direct") switches, the sound becomes superb. Very detailed and high quality sounding. It gives you a real taste of the high-end. You can clearly hear all the separate instruments in a complex mix. The imaging, soundstage... all that stuff audiophiles like to rave about... it's all there! The bass, while not...

Natural and realistic sound, more than enough power. Beatiful timeless no-nonsense design. Sounds great with NAD C-525BEE cd player. Only stereo, 2 (A) or 4 (A+B) speakers, or 2 bi-wired (A+B). No subwoofer connection. Buy this amplifier if you want pure and realistic stereo sound and don't need the 5:1 dolby surround crap. Also check the international outstanding reviews on this amplifier on the net. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful when the sound is the most important factor....That's the one at the price range!, This review is from: Yamaha A-S700BL Integrated Amplifier (Black) (Electronics) Sound is top here. I have heard and tested different amplifiers in the price range and this one has an edge in clarity that I've missed with other brands.Yes, the plastic Knobs are somehow annoying. Agree with the other colleague here who asked why the Yamaha engineers would have taken such a strange design decision for such an Amplifier. Anyway, with that said, sound is great and you probably won't find anything at same sound & internal built quality in the price range. To be considered before your purchase: a. Will you need/use a Sub-Woofer ? In case yes, go for another amplifier with a pre.out connection b. Are you going to buy the set with the CDS700 CD player? If yes, attention to the other strange flaw on the player - it does play MP3 via USB but there is no song navigation (feature available in any cheap MP3 player. If you do not care using the USB connection, it's a great CD player. Summary: The Yamaha 700 set (Amp+player) is a... Read more |
