Yamaha Bluetooth Speaker System

Better sound than my yamaha system with tower speaker's and sub

This is a GREAT value. I like the classic Yamaha styling and construction. The A-S801 has a good amount of power, sounds very accurate, smooth, listenable. I put together a modestly priced system with Elac Unifi UF5 speakers and a Cambridge CXC, and also coupled it to my TV. The Yamaha's DAC is excellent! New buyers should beware the standby switch on the back which is on by default - IMO you will want to put that in the OFF position right up front. Also, it should go without saying, use the Pure Direct button to go beyond MidFi sound. One quibble is regarding the speaker binding posts. While I appreciate that they're gold-plated, I would have much preferred if a) they would take spades (I ended up getting Audioquest banana-plug speaker cables, a good match for this grade equipment) and b) if the binding posts were mounted more securely - they move around and one thinks something is going to break plugging in the speaker cables! On the design front, my biggest wish for improvement would be to have more digital inputs. It does have independent digital optical, digital coax and USB, but the USB is limited in requiring a Yamaha software driver for Windows or Mac, and not available for Linux, so not compatible with, for example, a Bryston BDP-Pi digital music server. I would expect the next generation digital integrated amps will have multiple digital optical and multiple digital coax. If you're tempted to get something in this price range, go for it - this is a great cornerstone for a truly enjoyable audio system. It will do the most important thing: make you want to listen to a lot more music!

This is what I wanted sense the 80s. Thanks to Bluetooth technology. The speaker just rocks. I have a bose system in my caddy and I just turned it off and laid the jbl in the back seat!!!!

We use this speaker system for our weekly meetings and special events.The wireless mics perform well, the Bluetooth connection is invaluable. There are no instructions on how to use it, though. The FM radio feature doesn't work that well, either. B & H Photo is a great company to order from. Great prices and product support.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was amazed by this system right away. The sound is unlike anything I've ever had in my home. Upon first glance the speaker is massive, taking up the length of my entertainment cabinet. The speaker is equipped with not only front facing audio but side pannels on the top and bottom the encapsulate the room in high quality sound. The two speakers that connect via Bluetooth are subtle in size but also sound powerful. The 4th speaker, supplying the base, also connects via Bluetooth and packs a huge punch. Together you fully emerged in sound, hearing ever detail from movies down to the last raindrop. Music is phenomenal, the base is breathe taking, allowing you to fully engage with the artist, its changed my appreciation for gospel. You won't be disappointed by this system, the Google voice system works great, just make sure your speaker isn't up too loud or she will get confused on the prompts. Setup was alittle confusing but it was more about my TV than the speaker.

I've purchased and listened to several Bluetooth & WiFi speaker and this is by far the best speaker system on the market for the cost! Plus, all speaker in the Sonos product line are expandable making setup options to fit everyone needs / taste...

Great speaker. Great system. Easy set up with app. Easy to add more speakers. Unfortunately not Bluetooth enabled and they are a little expensive at full price. Try to buy when on offer usually just before Christmas.

The best bluetooth speaker investment choice I could have made!

This clarity is unheard of in a home bluetooth speaker.

I am sooo Delighted with my Bose Bluetooth Speaker…
