What customers say about "Key Specs"

Yamaha A-S501 2 Channel Integrated Amplifier

Very detailed, tight and muscular sound with the addictively rich, Yamaha balance.
I listened to Roger Waters "Amused to Death" (standard version) as my test record. I'm SURE I could hear even more!! It sounds absolutely superb.
It's a quality product and represents quite amazing value. It sounds superb to my ears, and with a good remote control, I can now sit back even more comfortably.
The sound stage is well defined and imaging is very good for the low cost of this unit. Much better than my previous amp/speaker combo.
Fantastic amp. Pure direct function great. Very full and detailed sound.

What customers say about "Features"

Yamaha A-S501 2 Channel Integrated Amplifier

This amp gets surprisingly close to my much more expensive gear, and I never feel that anything's missing.v
Loads more power that is controlled, balanced with a good stereo sound stage.
No useless circuits messing up your sound, no false claims about its power, just good, clear sound for a very good price.
Love the sound and look of this amp! Easy to connect, really powerful, never go past the halfway mark!
Very powerful amplifier, zero distortion, nice sound signature and loads of features, what else can you ask for?

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Yamaha A-S501 2 Channel Integrated Amplifier

The amp is easy to use, simple to set up and very intuitive. All the wiring was in place from my older amp, set-up of this one took less than 10 minutes and it was good-to-go.
It has all the inputs I need and connections for 2 pairs of speakers although I only need to use one pair.
My amp is running 4 speakers containing 8 inch and 6.5 inch drivers with 1 inch dome tweeters and it runs them no problem at all plenty of power.
There is a sub-woofer output for those who like shaking walls when listening to music.
I aslo have a yamaha subwoofer connected which really takes things to 11. can't recommend this amp enough!.
I wish it had bluetooth and USB connectivity.
