Long Live Two-Channel Audio

If there was any doubt about the future of two-channel audio, these new units from Yamaha prove that two-channel audio is alive and well. These are really exciting products for the two-channel crowd and Yamaha is poised to give you your stereo fix.  If you’re a hard-core audiophile or someone who just loves great sound for music or home theater but won’t go past two-channel audio, we think you should give these new integrated amps from Yamaha serious look.

Modern Yamaha integrated amps rock.

 

My RB-75's are loving :wub:  the A-S1000 they are being driven by.

Encouraging read on the day I am to receive my A-S2001...

 

Don't forget to report how it drives your RF-7II's.  Oh, and photos also of course.

 

Careful when you unbox her.  Very heavy(51.6lbs) but not too high profile, but over 18 inches deep.  My A-S1000(48.5lbs) almost did an endover when I was unboxing.

Thanks for the heads up Bill!

 

The wife called out of work today so she could sign for them when they arrive.

 

I hope to have a little time tonight to set it up when I get home from work... ah heck, who am I kidding, I'll make the time :D

What else are you getting besides the A-S2100?

Well, when I broke it to the wife that I was dropping a few dollars on a new amp, and mentioned it didn't come with a tuner, she decided to buy the T-S500 as an early B-day present for me :rolleyes:

Gotcha.  I was hoping it was the matching CD-S2100.

 

What color, silver or black?

I thought about the CD-S2100, but I rip all my CDs to a library these days.

 

I may take a swing at an NP-S2000 a little later down the road though.

 

I went with the black.  I do like the silver, but it was about $500 more.
