Hey John, With the current $1000 difference between them (new), I'd go for the A-S1100. As @SuperLead100 suggested, the difference between the two may be very small for your needs. I looked hard at the 1000 v/s 2000 question for my purchase but the difference was only $300 (refurb) and so I...

UPDATE: My replacement Yamaha A-S2000 arrived yesterday and I did a quick test this morning. Everything seems to be working fine out of the box this time! I tried both A & B speaker terminals with no issues. This one has a small cosmetic blemish on edge of front plate (small ding) but its...

Thanks, the replacement was shipped out today. Now just hoping its the one to keep! Btw, I was lucky (or not, will soon know) to get the last A-S2000 refurbished unit that they had in inventory. Else would've been stuck until they either got more or I switched my choice to something else (the...

I've requested a return label for the amp and Accessories4Less.com will ship me a replacement as soon as I ship this one back. Hoping the process goes smoothly and I have get another, problem-free A-S2000 soon.

Yup, very disappointed indeed. I definitely expected better from Yamaha, especially given its one of their high end models. That said, it sure does sound fabulous. I spent most of yesterday evening and today listening to the A-S2000 in action (via B speaker connections) and I have no...

Budget constraints meant I had to go refurbished on this ($1200 v/s $2000)......there are no local audio dealers for Yamaha here and so online was the only option. I am hoping Accessories4Less is good about returns especially involving defective units. For now, I will continue to enjoy the new...

Update: After about 7-8 hours of staying ON and playing records, the B set is now functioning normally without any issues, letting me enjoy the new sound :) The A set continues to have a problem with the right speaker connection.

The A-S2000 was delivered this morning and so far, first impressions have been mixed. Let me start with the positive... The unit looks and feels absolute top notch, you can tell this is a "flagship" product from Yamaha. It weights almost twice of my Yamaha AVR and the material quality is in a...

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered the A-S2000!! Decided to get the factory refurbished model for $1200 and its on its way :)

Thanks guys! I think I will rule out the 1100/2100 for now - just bit beyond what I'd like to spend currently on the amp. That leaves me with two options - a new A-S1000 or refurb A-S2000 - which route would you guys go? For now, I don't see my system using the balanced connections offered by...

Hi everyone, I am strongly considering getting my first integrated amplifier and Yamaha is very much within my sights. Just to give some background, I built my first stereo system in 2013 with B&W 683 fronts powered by Emotiva XPA-200 power amp through a Yamaha RXZ-V663 AVR. Music is played...

Great thread! I am strongly considering getting my first integrated amplifier and Yamaha is very much within my sights.
