Yamaha A-S301 Integrated Amplifier - Silver

Product Information

Some above suggest that the Q100 is an 8 ohm speaker. But its impedence is below 4 ohms at 120 Hz, and then at 150Hz the impedence is 6 ohm but the phase shift makes it considerably lower in effect, maybe 4.5 ohm. And that's a fair range of notes around 3 octaves up from the lowest note on a piano. Besides 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 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. Continuously Variable Loudness Control We reserve the right to refuse installation should our engineers think that the existing electrical or plumbing points are unsafe and in need of maintenance or if they are unable to install to existing furniture. Connect two separate speaker systems in different rooms and switch between them, or have them both playing at the same time. There are four terminals, so by just pushing a button, you can switch speakers to match the sound source. Subwoofer Terminal

Add the capability to stream music wirelessly from a Bluetooth capable mobile phone or a PC to the Network receiver. Thanks to the digital connections, you can enjoy wireless music streaming with optimum sound quality by connecting a Bluetooth receiver (not included). You can also conveniently power the connected adaptor via the DC-out connection on the rear panel of the amplifier. Speaker A, B or A+B Selection and Speaker Terminals for Two SystemsAccording to the spec sheet the correct answer is the 501, but I'm wondering if it won't be overkill, since I most often listen at low volumes at near-field (desktop). The A-S301 is equipped for digital audio input with both optical and coaxial terminals. The optical is for receiving audio from a TV, and the coaxial for receiving audio from a Blu-ray player. The audio stays in the digital domain, giving you pure, pristine dynamic sound for all your entertainment sources, from sports and other programmes to movies and concerts. Connection forBluetooth Wireless Adaptors Unlike the integrated amps of yesteryear, these new models have been designed for the modern audiophile. 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.

Base surface area of an integrated amplifier may become an important decision factor when the space in your room or desk is limited. At Peter Tyson we pride ourselves on prompt, efficient delivery. Please note that the daily cut off time for all next day delivery services is 3pm. 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 ExpertiseBut, on the other hand, doubling perceived volumes in bass frequencies is less of an increase than a similarly perceived change in higher frequencies. (Toole, Ch. 4.4) So be sure to adjust your tone controls accordingly. (Toole, Ch. 4.5) And who knows what the recording engineer used for a volume setting. (Well, it was probably louder, and he probably had hearing loss.) Getting the 301 would be easier on my wallet, which means I can also get it sooner, but I wouldn't want to do it if that meant a significant loss at the hability to drive the speakers well.
