Yamaha A-S2000
$2,000.00
Released November, 2008
The Pros:Classic aesthetic. Comes with a remote. Well built.
The Cons:A step in the right direction for Yamaha, but nothing groundbreaking. Expensive. Audio quality alone cannot match as similarly priced products from smaller well-known audiophile
brands.

#yamaha_a_s2000 This ''product review'' has it all backwards. The Yamaha AS2000 is a screaming bargain worthy of three times the asking price. Just LISTEN to it, one short audition will suffice. Absolutely superb.
