I think a better comparison price wise would be the Yamaha A-S2200 which is $4,500. It's rated at 90 watts into 8 ohm and 150 watts into 4 ohm. I own the A-S3200 but the Luxman is a great alternative.
I own the Yamaha as3200 and can attest to its clean sound. It is powerful and has virtually no noise floor. So quiet it’s ridiculous and the sweet highs are hypnotic. After about 80-100 hours I noticed the bass opened up completely for powerful full and deep bass. Beautiful to look at and oh my god, the parts are sturdy heavy duty and pleasing to look at even on the rear. Heavy duty binding posts made from solid brass. Couldn’t be happier. I was going to buy a Luxmann but I wanted something a step above what was offered . I really wanted Accuphase but it’s more than I can spend right now. That (Accuphase) will be my final receiver/amp. I’ve not heard it in person but I expect more than what I presently own. I sure hope so because that’s serious money. I didn’t see anything of consequence that would make we pick the Luxman but I did see a few things that would make me go with the Yamaha.
If the amplifier has a very low damping factor, the speaker load (or any load - such as a resistive dummy load) may cause the output to be different (possibly audible) than it should be.
@@JNElectrics its supposed to have a floating ground design concept which helps control noise from what i recall, in fact the plug cable doesn't even have a ground. There's a youtube video discussing the design of the Yamaha as1100 by an electrical engineer and he really goes in-depth into the design. I recall he was quite impressed with it.
Is far as I can tell, the Yamaha output amp is push pull, single-ended (single transistor per phase) fully balanced and yes, floating ground. With the tone and balance controls bypassed, the amp is completely balanced from balanced XLR inputs all the way to the speaker terminals. RCA inputs are converted to balanced at the input. When tone and balance controls are enabled, all inputs are converted back to single ended, processed, than converted back to balanced. In the Luxman, it’s single ended all the way, it’s one balanced input is converted to single ended at the start. Both are great amps, BTW. I have previously owned the Yamaha A-S3000 and now I have the (now discontinued) Luxman L-590AxII. Same preamp and phono stage as the L-505 I think…
@@webking185 Me to and I have this 505 model and am totally satisfied with it's overall output.I think the Yamaha is probably a pretty good unit to.They used to make good motorbikes to !

thank u . later yamaha a-s2200

3200是全平衡架構，訊噪比更高是一定的。
音色無法從規格數字衡量，我自己有一台505UXll ，我很滿意。我以前用過accuphase.
在hi end 音響的品牌上, luxman 比 Yamaha 更高, 從日本yahoo 的音響拍賣上就可以得知，二手市場luxman比Yamaha價格高得多，Yamaha 的二手折價更大。

Comparing 2011 technology to 2020 technology is a bit unfair
Thank you friend for your comments.
@@JNElectricswould absolutely love to see you do a comparison of the Yamaha flagship integrated with the Luxman 509z! That would be a great comparison
Hegel h190 damping factor is 4000 compared to 250? So how can these two amps can even compete with the Hegel?
Hegel is black box. And thats the thing nowadays. Everyone just wants to look at specs. Who cares. Specs mean nothing to me.
Tell how you can hear damping factor. It is a spec that cries out more must be better
If the amplifier has a very low damping factor, the speaker load (or any load - such as a resistive dummy load) may cause the output to be different (possibly audible) than it should be.
@@JNElectrics Ok I’ll take two amplifiers and you tell me by listening which one has the lower dampening . That would be a great test .
It is something that is difficult to hear on the network. The best way is to look at the graphic on an oscilloscope.
Yamaha.... !
ok
Good
Yamaha супер!!!

LOL looks like you didn't understand the Yamaha design at all
i told it suitable concept. did you know about yamaha design. many people use it at music schools
@@JNElectrics didn’t you say it wasn’t suitable? maybe language difference, i didn’t understand your meaning
May I ask you what the design concept of the Yamaha amplifier looks like?

Japanese design is boring
I would beg to differ.
Use european bricks...
you are just a moe
