Munc Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I have had the a-s1200 for a couple of weeks. Got it on Amazon, had to wait a couple of months but they had it for $1,560 new so I couldn't pass on it. Sounds great with my Technics 1500C, E-30 DAC and La Scala 2's. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munc Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Sorry, $1590.63. New, sold by Amazon, and $58 for the 3 year extended warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEditor Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 That is a good deal. Is it "Gray Market" ? I see you paid for a 3 year warranty and I believe the unit comes with a 3 year warranty in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to assume the A-S1200 is awesome paired with La Scala II’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pringlere Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Randy, I was able to get the A-S2200 for $3100, so no complaints from me. I got the ForteIIIs for $2600. I am happy as a clam in mud. Thanks Rob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEditor Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 How happy are you with your A-S 1200’s and 2200’s after a bit of break-in ? Is the sound what you hoped it would be or have you grown accustomed to the tone that these integrated amps possess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munc Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm happy with the a-s1200, it has plenty of power, looks good and is really quiet. Does everything I need it to do wonderfully without a bunch of built in junk I don't want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJEditor Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 if you’ve seen this review on YouTube would you say it’s accurate? This guy is not technical, just his seat of the pants reaction. He is a fan of H IVs and used them to demo the amp. I have The H IVs also and wonder if his experience is close to what owners of this amp or the 2200 have experienced?

knucklehead Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I've had a Yamaha A-S1000 for 6-7 years now, bought it used. Even though I've replaced it in the audio rack I won't sell it. It is not going to fetch a lot of $$$'s on the used market, and IMO it will outlast the tube integrated that I'm using now for 2 channel. I'm sure my son will enjoy this amp and Salk speakers long after I've checked out. Some things are more difficult to let go of than other things. Internally I think it's the same amp as the S1100/1200/S2000/S2100/S2200, but not positive about that. I think the S3xxx series has more power and slightly different internals. It has a great sounding phono section, probably one of the best I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of gear over the years. I'm 73yo, started out in this hobby at 18yo when I bought a brand new Sansui 500a tube receiver. Been hooked on good sounds ever since, and I still have decent hearing to enjoy the sounds. I watched that video of Andrew Robinson, his points about the A-S1200 could be said of the A-S1000 as well. I've read some reviews where the reviewer tend not to like the highs in these amps, finding them too bright. I find the highs to be nearly perfect, and especially with a great tweeter, which my Salk speaker have IMO, the Hiquphon OW2, made in Denmark. The name makes it sound as if it's a Chinese brand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the same, more off the shelf parts than the other ones but still a rock solid build. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
