Verdict

Overall, the Yamaha A-S301 receives positive reviews for its clean sound, low signal noise, and ability to boost low frequencies without affecting tonal balance. It is a good fit for Klipsch 610Fs and is a solid choice for those looking for a two-channel analog type amp. Some reviewers prefer the Denon PMA-600NE over the Yamaha A-S301, but others find it to be a good match for their CD player and appreciate its physical bass/treble/balance controls. The amp has a built-in DAC and can handle down to a 4 ohm load. However, some reviewers have received packages that have been opened and re-taped before shipment.
