No, we didn't try the Yamaha AS700, because it didn't get the same level test results, so we settled for the Yamaha AS500. On our system it produces a detailed sound and has that Yamaha natural warmth about it, that we've grown to love from the Yamaha amps having owned a couple of their amps...

We had been looking at the Rotel RA10 and the RA12, we purchased the Marantz PM6004 in the end, but it couldn't run our four 4ohm Dalis. So we took it back and purchased a Yamaha AS500, we don't think it sounds bright at all, lots of detail and it sounds natural (could be our speakers though) It...

Hopefully lol. They are running OK on the standard speaker core that is already connected, so the law of so and so would could rear its head with the new stuff. He hasn't bought anything expensive and probably not good enough. I'm not totally sure which one it is he has gone for but I think it...

Hey a fellow Eagles fan :) The PM6004 sounded great with our speakers, it just wouldn't run them lol. The CD6004 was great too, it won't be long now before I find out if that player sounds OK with our AS500, Hubby is still stuck in traffic having collected it. Hope you find your Hotel...

Hi, your speakers are larger ohms than ours so your amp should be OK from what other posters have pointed out. I've been on a fast learning curve and it seems the combined Ohms of our four speakers was the problem regards the PM6004 running them. However it is the first amplifier we have come...

Thanks, we liked the CD6004 when we tried it with the PM6004. The only thing I don't like about it is that it sits on standby, there's no on and off button. But it did sound really nice with the PM6004. Hoping that is sounds great with the Yamaha AS500. I'll report back :)

Thanks very much for your advice :) We've cracked it now thanks, he's got the Yamaha AS500 up and running and we love it, it is fantastic in that room with our speakers at all volumes, very low to louder than we can listen to. We like it much more than the Marantz PM6004, that was great, this...

CRACKED IT The Yamaha AS500 is perfect for us and to our ears in our lounge, is way better than the Marantz PM6004 sounded and that was great but this is outstanding. Really pleased he came back with that amp now, I wouldn't mind we nearly purchased it the first time round but went with the...

Thanks everyone :) Regards measuring the ohms a normal volt metre was used, I see what you are saying, it might not matter though because I'm about to divorce him . lol............................. :roll: I was cleaning up and he snook out and came back with a Yamaha...

Thanks everyone:) Yep, I should change my user name to loveLOUDmusic lol. Right in the last hour things have changed.................tut tut. Hubby decided to sneak out while I was cleaning and came back with a Yamaha AS500!!! Following it tomorrow is a Marantz CD6004!!! Will it work...

Thanks, I know what you are saying about loud music, I just like loud music sometimes, well most of the time actually lol. Wiring the speakers in series is a possibility but we thought we would loose clarity.

Great info, thanks very much for your advice. Just checked the rear pair of Dalis and they measure L= 3.5 ohms R=3.5 ohms. Front set L=3.5 ohms R=3.5 ohms, all exactly the same. The rear set have not had as much use, so they sound brighter then the front set, fronts have mellowed through...

Sounds good. Do you know of any stores that will let you try amplifiers at home? To give you an idea of our amp taste, lots of people raved about the Pioneer A400, we have one and we don't like i that much, we like our Yamaha more and our old Denon PM7 something (it is upstairs and I cannot...

Wow 15.00! I'd have blown my ears off lol. We didn't get to that though with the Marantz, with just one set of Dalis the highest we got was just past 12pm before it kicked off and I think I bit higher with a lesser bass track. We do like the Yamaha stuff, I grew up with Yamaha, my Dad had their...
