Product details

Excellent sound and outstanding performance. An integrated amplifier with the advantages of digital inputs. Gold-plated connections allow a particularly high-quality connection without signal loss. The A-S701 has gold-plated connectors for speakers and inputs.

The quality of the individual parts and their interaction are decisive for the sound of each component. That is why Yamaha only uses high-quality components that are carefully selected and tested. The A-S701 guarantees excellent signal reproduction even under demanding conditions - the power transformer and blocking capacitors are specially designed, the loudspeaker relays have a direct signal path, plus single-point earthing and extruded aluminium heat exchangers.

The A-S701 has both an optical and a coaxial digital input. The optical input is for the TV sound, the coaxial input is for the sound of the Blu-ray player. The signal remains digital throughout, ensuring pure, dynamic sound from all sources - from sports and other television programmes to movies and concert recordings.

You can connect two separate speaker systems in different rooms and switch between them or operate both simultaneously. Four connectors are available so you can select the right pair of speakers for each source at the touch of a button.

Gemessen am günstigen Preis macht der Yamaha in der Tat alles richtig und ist deshalb ein echtes Schnäppchen. Dabei seilt er nahezu alle Musikrichtungen mit guten Werten und ist auch beim Bass sehr exakt. Zwar könnte Rockmusik etwas wuchtiger klingen aber dafür ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sensationell.
