Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe

The review seems positive but on the other side, Audiofeil's response is very imformative.
I would ere on the side of caution and want to hear the combo before going through with buying it. Once I have the funds for this second amp, will try to find one for audition or do something I have always wanted which is build the Audio Note Kit One which will probably mate even better than the Yamamoto and not require an audition.

That post by Glory is stunning in the level of ignorance he so willing displays. The Yamamoto amplifiers are superbly built and sound great with the appropriate speaker.

Sorry if you Moto lovers are offended but I did mean to say that it is not the right /best amp for the AN speakers and not that it is low end in sound. Most AN speakers are driven by high $$$ amps to bring out the best in the speakers and not by cheaper amps.

I am sure the Moto amp is a fine sounding amp as I have heard it at shows but not with the AN speakers.

Yamamoto A-08S is $3200. I guess that makes the Atma-sphere S-30 a cheap amplifier and the First Watt amplifiers cheap too.

There is certainly a wide continuum of pricing out there, and one person's cheap is another person's expensive, but anything over $2K would not be called cheap by me.
