Hunting for good electronics...please can you share your thoughts, experience etc ? Sweet MosFet based amp. Personally think it is a great amp but heard only a demo. Currently I am a holder of Yamaha AS 701 - which for the price is not so bad but of course a much different Ligue in comparison. The step up in this case seems to be huge. Right ? Current offered shop demo price 1090 €. ( 3 months after unpacking ).
hi I've got the A-S2100 which love a lot the A-S 1100 looks similar to mine but just looked at the Yamaha website and the only difference I can see is the A-S1100 has no balanced XLR inputs were mine does .
one thing I noticed is that you are using atlas speaker cables which is what I was using before I brought the audioquest rocket 33 speaker cable now I found using the atlas speaker cable on my A-S2100 the sound was not so good but using the audioquest speaker cable the sound was much better .
now as much as I love my A-S2100 I would of thought the A-S1100 not going to be much different but then I have different speakers to you and I am using the balanced inputs on my amplifier and the fact I brought the matching cdplayer to go with the A-S2100 so things maybe different for you .
i do recommend the A-S2100 if you could get one for a good price as this would be a very good upgrade but do not see any reason why the A-S1100 would not be a good upgrade from a A-S701 .
