Yamaha AX 500/U

Advantages: Easy to use and very loud
Disadvantages: does not have Digital or optical inputs

...a proud owner of the Yamaha AX500/u Amplifier. Mine has been in storage nearly all of its life as it was hardly used by my friend so I bought it 6 months ago. And it really looks like it just came from the shop. Probably best condition one I ever seen. Well to get straight to the point. The Yamaha AX 500 is an amplifier that is made for Extreme Clarity and loudness for music; I would not recommend this amplifier for watching films everyday as i say ...
...the technical side of things, Yamaha AX 500 Specifications 85w per channel @ 8 Ohms x4 as is a Quad Amplifier so total power on 4 speakers is 340w & 8Ohms all in. Hands down I had a pioneer 500w amplifier and my Yamaha AX 500 really made my pioneer sound like a cheap pathetic portable cd player that was as useful as a chocolate fireguard. So what I am saying is the Yamaha AX 500 has much more than what meets the eye well and truly. Overall rating ...

Review of Yamaha AX 500

Yamaha AX-430 integrated amplifier

Advantages: Pleasantly open and musical.
Disadvantages: No remote control. More knobs than you need.

...How could I resist. A Yamaha AX-430. Couldn't lose could I ? This old 50(ish) watter probably dates from the late 80's. There are quite a few kicking around on the secondhand market. It's reasonably built with smart black satin finished metal front and a number of knobs including variable "Loudness" and a CD Direct button. On the back are good quality 4mm speaker terminals for two pairs of speakers (switchable). Variable Loudness alters the tonal ...
...out the tone and balance controls to the CD input only and definitely improves the sound quality. A shame it doesn't do the same on the other inputs. After connecting it into the rest of my system at home I found it to be very pleasant and competent sounding and better than would be expected from the usual budget amp fare. The sound is rich and yet open and detailed with a tuneful if not tightly controlled bass. Treble is informative and quite sweet. ...

dsp ax763

Advantages: good dynamics,great suround sound procesing,
Disadvantages: only 2 hdmi inputs a bit low for todays standarts

This is one off the best budget amplifier out there,the performance is incredible,you get a setup mic and the yapo automatic soun setup,will take care of everything for you,but many will say ,its better to setup manualy for the best performance,and i have to agre with that,after i did automatic setup te sound was bright and the bass was lacking,so i had to reset it to deafoult and set uo manualy,and after that wow,thats alli can say,great sound with ...

Review of Yamaha DSPAX757SE

Excellent cheap surround sound

Advantages: Loud with strong bass, Easy to set up, Good for games and movies
Disadvantages: Stereo playback could be better, No way of turning sub down enough

I've owned this for about 2 years now. I bought it so I could have surround sound from my Xbox 360. I bought it for about ~£140 so its on the cheap end of the scale but its not so far that its nasty like Bush or Alba. Overall I've been very happy with it. Connecting it up was really easy. All the speakers come prewired with a fairly generous amount of cable. You would have difficulty for a really large room though. The other ends of the cables just ...
...includes a small remote which seems a little flimsy but seems to work fine from a distance. The amount of connections on the back seem quite generous as well with 2 optical and 1 coax connector. It also supports Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II. Quality of sound is fairly good. Dispite the low wattage and RMS numbers it provides more the enough volume for a small room. I've certainly never had it turned up much past half way. For normal ...
