Good value amp for the price

Amazing clarity and soundstage, very accurate and great value for money for this 2.0 set up that includes the best of digital and analog

This USB/DAC feature found on the A-S801; what I would call, "the greatest gift to consumer audio components in the last 10 years"; alone bumps up the value of this Yamaha A-S801, today, what would have cost $10,000 10 years ago, to hear what I heard

Considering some of these can get way up into the triple digits, it's certainly seems to be a good value.

Excellent value for a Yamaha integrated amplifier.

the kitchen set up has Pioneer SP-FS52-LR Andrew Jones tower speakers (another great value).

And I got the amp for 50% off on an Amazon warehouse deal, which is fantastic value for money spent!Update on March 23 2015

A great value.

The media room speakers I use are Pioneer SP-BS21-LR (awesome value)

It's the same size as a modern A/V receiver with 7 little amps, but this one only packs two, but two big, powerful ones that are symmetrically laid out and backed by giant aluminum heat sinks and a massive transformer.

Also I burned my tunes at the higher but rat e (320).Would highly recommend.
