Yamaha A-S301 Integrated Amplifier - Silver

Product Information

In the vast majority of cases we will not be able to install the cabinet doors to built-in laundry products as the fittings very rarely match up. We will try our best however if we are unable to do this we will still install connect to plumbing and put the appliance in situ.

Our Installation Service only includes connecting to existing points and fixings. This does not include installing or moving plumbing, connection points or electrics. Installing new points or moving existing points is the customer’s responsibility we can recommend local tradesmen however this will be at the customer’s expense and we not accept any liability for their work. Note that a notch up in SPL (3dB) draws twice the power, and doubling the SPL requires 10 times the power. (Toole, Fig. 4.3) Of course, an amplifiers specifications are similarly imprecise, and maybe similarly exaggerated. Or maybe not! And, a speaker maybe hopeless at that volume and frequency anyway. Yamaha A-S301 has a dedicated subwoofer output which can be used to connect it directly to a powered subwoofer via an LFE(Low Frequency Effects) cable. Would you experience an amplifiers shortage of current as a drop in volume, or as inaccuracy involving these frequencies?

Long Live Two-Channel Audio

Fast forward to today and one would think that the future of sound was in multichannel, immersive audio. Although Yamaha stays on the bleeding edge in home theater advancements, they do so while still staying true to their audiophile heritage as evidenced by their new lineup of integrated amplifiers. Rear Panel of the Yamaha A-S801 Integrated Amplifier, featuring a USB input with ESS Sabre 32-bit DAC and coaxial inputs will accept 2ch PCM (not Dolby Digital/DTS). The audio stays in the digital domain, giving you pure, High sound quality circuit design based on the ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) concept I'm liking what Yamaha is doing and want to get one of their integrated and generally I was aiming to get 80W per channel on these 8ohm bookshelf speakers (to get a full and well controlled response from them).

Achieve deep, powerful hi-fi sound with a 2.1 system. A terminal for connecting a subwoofer is provided, allowing you to increase the bass output of your system for a more powerful sound with better overall sound quality. Phono MM Terminal AB31, AB32, AB33, AB34, AB35, AB36, AB37, AB38, AB41, AB42, AB43, AB44, AB45, AB46, AB47, AB48, AB49, AB50, AB51, AB52, AB53, AB54, AB55, AB56Besides the performance specs of the Yamaha A-S301, the next important feature set that you have to evaluate is the input and output selections that it offers. The reason I decided to even try the 501 in the first place was due to erring on the side of caution because of 1) the advice I recieved from Elac customer service 2) the advice I got from the telesales person at the retailer I was purchasing from (maybe I was naive to heed it) and 3) the fact that one or two comments here state or imply that there may be an advantage to the 501 and that the poll at the top of this thread is 50/50 between the 501 and 301 (though for completely different speakers albeit ones with the same sensitivity rating). Either way, the advice I got here is sound. ToP-ART design and ART base ensuresoptimum sound. When processing and transmission of the audio signal is simple and direct, there is less chance of it being affected by noise and distortion. Yamaha’s amplifier design technology called ToP-ART features an I/O (input to output) Direct Symmetrical Design, with left and right channels organised in a straight, symmetrical layout for highest signal purity. In addition, the ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base bottom chassis and a solid centre bar provide high-rigidity support and vibration damping. These Yamaha design innovations contribute to this amplifier's rich audio reproduction with abundant musicality. Created by Yamaha's Rich Experience and Tradition, and High Technological Expertise

The A-S301 also feature a new analogue loudness control on the front panel that uses electronic volume for higher sound quality, which lets you adjust the loudness effect as desired. Separate from the overall volume, this controls the balance of the low and high-frequency sounds, providing full tonal range at any volume level, compensating for the natural loss in the human ear of high and low frequencies at soft levels.

All models have a subwoofer out, optical and coaxial digital inputs. The major difference between the A-S301, A-S501, A-S701 lies in their amplification stage. You can, however, add the optional YBA-11 Bluetooth wireless adapter to stream music wirelessly from your mobile device or computer. The YBA-11 connects to the Yamaha’s digital coax input and supports the aptX® audio coding algorithm for CD-like sound quality. The Pure Direct mode causes the music signals to travel the shortest possible circuit route, bypassing the buffer amp and the tone, loudness and balance controls to virtually eliminate any signal degradation for the purest sound quality.
