Thank you for your review. I don't understand why this amp gets so little attention in TH-cam. Very nice build, reliable brand, great sound at a very good price.
Thanks for your review! Appreciate that you pick up on parts that are harder to find reviews of :) Also, love the talk about music that you listen to and recommend! That is after all why we are here in the first place, to listen to music.
Came here for the amp, Review,and now Ocean in a drop is on repeat in my AK headphones. CD on the way in the mail, thanks for the including this ,unknown to me , group in the video.

@robertwilson214 i have m71i as well paired with old Marantz nr1603, I was thinking of selling both and go for Yamaha or Marantz stereo amp. Would be nice if you tell how M71i go with as 701 :)
Love Ezra Collective. Saw them in August, excellent show! Also, am going so see gogo penguin next month! Does the Yamaha separate the frequencies (crossover) between speakers and subwoofer? This vs emotiva ta1, have you tried it?
@@marekszymanski2816 the 7000a is warmer on the bass and analytical in the mid also more detailed, where S701 as a bit more power with lush but neutral presentation. Technically the 7000a superior, better imaging and quality but the tuned signature make it not really suitable for every speaker IMO
@@vangmx thanks! I bought the AS701 with the Oberon 5 in the end. I don't feel the need to dial up the bass since it seems to have plenty, I listen rock/hard rock mainly...
@@MadAudiofficial Just not very good IMO. Congested sounding, lacks clarity and quality of line inputs. I believe it has rather high pf. I since moved on to A-S2100 (the metered line of amps, these all have the same phono stage) and it has a really excellent phono stage.

@@RooftopVegetables Thank you very much, many reviewers spoke really good about the S801, maybe that’s why, definitely worth checking also the S701👍🏽
Very nice review.I have it paired with Wharfedale Diamond 225s speakers from 2018.It's an Amp who plays perfect with flat tone controls.

My first audio amp was a Yamaha.
That thing kicked ass!

Great review. The Q Concerto though with those stands looks super nice 👌🏻
@@dragonstone6594 Thank you, Concerto review is coming soon, stay tuned👍🏽
@@MadAudiofficial What are the stands called?
@@dragonstone6594 This are Buchardt stands, you can find them on their website in different finishes👍🏽
Got this great amp,run through a benchmark dac, tannoy 611 spks and paradgim sub,superb sound.
@@geoffwalmsley3066 Thx for sharing 👍🏽
I bought 2.....silver and black.
It was exeptionale velue for the money
One conected to Whaferdale Lintons
Other on Q Acoustics, 3050
👌🙂
Why 2, they have an A/B speaker selector😅
@MadAudiofficial One set is for tv
Other set is in office🙂
@ sounds good 👌🏽

I have it paired with Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 speakers
Great sounding combo
Nice review thanks. Did you try the loudness dial?
@@attrktmarketing4582 Thank you, just a quick test of all dials but most of my test were done in pure direct mode!
@@MadAudiofficial I heard that the loudness function works well.
I have excellent as301 with mission m71i. Hope to get 701 soon.
@@robertwilson214 let us know how is compare it to the as301👍🏽

@@JoseFerreira-zb7wh Love them, hope to see them in Germany soon 👍🏽✌🏽

@@liamporter1137 thx for watching 👍🏽
For Magnepan LRS, how would you compare vs CX Cambridge audio
If that's the Marantz Cinema 30 you've got there, can you also please report how it performs with the Q Concerto in your upcoming review? Thx!
Yes why not, i will👍🏽
@@MadAudiofficial Thx! 😊
@@dragonstone6594 No problem, I generally do not use AVR for Hi-Fi , but in this price range of speaker make sense👍🏽
@@dragonstone6594 BTW is Cinema 40, testing right now! Stay tuned.
YES!!!
How Yamaha AS701 does compare to audiolab 7000a?

Yamaha as 701 vs Rega elex mk4? Thank you
One thing is missing. Light in the volume dial.
Hi all, will this amp work well with Dali Oberon 5?
I had the Yamaha AS501 with the Dali Oberon 7. Tone the bass up by +3 and you'll have great sound for great money.
@@vangmx thanks! I bought the AS701 with the Oberon 5 in the end. I don't feel the need to dial up the bass since it seems to have plenty, I listen rock/hard rock mainly...
@@vangmx thanks

I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it had HDMI eARC.
Great amp, DAC is fine, phono sucks.
