Budget Audiophile Stereo Receiver

The best stereo receiver I’ve ever owned! If you want the best, this is it!

This stereo receiver was one of my better online purchases!

I use it to connect my tape deck to the stereo receiver.

I bought the stereo receiver for the price and Sony name

I'd been looking for a stereo receiver to incorporate with my existing sound system and this Tree Receiver fit the bill.

i bought this stereo Receiver to replace my old receiver that i gave to my son i was looking for something that used just two speakers and maybe i could connect my sub woofer to it this was the one i could afford plus sony makes good products so i bought this on and i really like it

Easy to switch between 4 stereo inputs. I am using it in a high end audiophile system. It is a weird form factor - with all the heavy xlr cables connected to it, the unit has to be mounted so it doesn't move around.

I'm certainly not an audiophile, but I have owned some pretty good stereo equipment over the years. At this stage of my life, keeping things simple is important. I needed to replace a sound system in a vacation home that had sustained considerable damage during the hurricanes of 2017. Going with a receiver, running new wires to different zones, dealing with new input devices, etc. all seemed like way too much trouble. I just wanted to be able to listen to some nice music & relax. I looked at lots of options, but decided on a pair of Play: 5's set up in stereo as a place to start. I am 100% satisfied. It is the perfect solution. I will be adding more speakers to cover different areas but wanted to see what I thought of Sonos first. Couldn't be happier.

I am a long time audiophile. My main stereo consists of Luxman and Sonus Faber components, and I have plenty of experience with high end equipment. I bought this Yamaha A-S801 to build out a second system for others in my household to enjoy. I'll keep it short and sweet- I believe this unit sounds 90% as good as components costing ten times more. Is that extra 10% worth it to me? Yes. Would I be happy with this A-S801 if it's the most I could spend? 100% Yes. An absolutely phenomenal unit for the price, especially considering it includes a DAC and phono inputs. I struggle to think of a better value in all of hi-fi. I had a bit of a snafu with my order, but B&H service handled it with aplomb, which is why I will always buy from B&H if I have a choice.

Easy to set up. Stereo ,mode surprisingly excellent, even for an old, hardcore audiophile. Looks great, blended in very well. Next step is to get units for other rooms. And to try streaming my own music. Pricy, but worth it. Looked at all the competitors at any price range, still the best of the best
