New member Username: R3cc0sCalgary, Alberta Canada Post Number: 6 Registered: Apr-08 | anyone who has insight into whether the design is good enough to compete with the big names? As in my post above, I'm looking into some Simaudio, Naim type of equipment but this Yammie is roughly in the same pricepoint but I like the asthetics and power rating better |

Bronze Member Username: ZorroPost Number: 67 Registered: Jul-05 | Paul, Have you had any luck finding a sales rep for the a-s2000? I've sent two e-mails to Yamaha requesting some info but no response yet. It sure looks attractive, if we could only audition it! Good luck |

Bronze Member Username: ZorroPost Number: 77 Registered: Jul-05 | Just F.Y.I. in case you are interested Reply from Yamaha regarding the a-s2000: Thank you again for your inquiry. At this point we have not begun shipping the unit that you mentioned. And there is not official date at this point. Best Regards, The Yamaha Customer Support Team Good luck |

Bronze Member Username: ZorroPost Number: 78 Registered: Jul-05 | I guess so, Found the following review so, I am not sure that I would like to audition it anymore. http://www.audioenz.co.nz/2008/yamaha_2000.shtml Oh well, it looked nice on paper |
