The issue is too many notes too many notes, your majesty exactly very well put too many notes. I guess that yamaha sound, always struggles with mozart...

When I look at this product, I say to myself: Yamaha basically gave like a free rein to the engineers yeah, that's a great!

I had heard the KEFs before and noted the brightness they can give off, but took a chance with the A-S801 and it definitely helps tone them down... and certainly provides enough power to make them comfortable. For now, this is a massive upgrade and I couldn’t be happier... until the upgrade bug hits again.

Chrome front, twin needle meters, clean sound. The Yamaha amplifier is almost as good... in some ways better....

Bass is tight and punchy and more than adequate enough to make me disconnect my Emotiva S12, although I may reconnect after break-in.

This is a great sounding amplifier and you get a lot for the money with a good DAC, power and it’s very clear! My only reason for returning it was that to me the low end was a little more pumped up and didn’t sound balanced. I think that’s just Yamahas sound signature. It’s not the best looking amp ...
