Yamaha AX-497

 

The death of stereo may have been announced by multichannel-minded commentators some time ago, but Yamaha is just one of several big names to have announced a whole new range of stereo components recently.

Open and detailed uppermidrange, with superb spacearound instruments andhence some highly plausibleimaging, For the money, thisis well worth a look, even inthe face of the competition.

A little coloration in the tenorregister is a bit much withsome speakers, and bass isn'tthe best controlled.

While it isn't all things to all men, what this amp does well itdoes very well indeed

Yes

 

Ordered Sunday, shipped Tuesday, arrived on Thursday on the week before Xmas so solid service again from Newegg.

I own this and an Onkyo TX-8255 and the sound from this one completely outclasses the Onkyo. At $200 this was really a good deal

Doesn't have a tuner or a subwoofer out, not really cons for what I needed
