Thank you~

@@listentothemusic174 you're welcome , greetings from the Netherlands.

@@hemmohoving2558 I am Korean. nice to meet you. The Netherlands, Home of Philips Record!!

@@listentothemusic174 Nice to meet you to , yes indeed home of Philips.

I sympathize.

Thank u^^

Thank u

Good!

I respect what you say. But each has a different ear.

@@listentothemusic174 absolutely. I didn't say it as in it is bad and nobody should buy it. I was a little disappointed it did not fit me personally since checked all boxes for my end game except sound. That is why I say thank you, because this very well made recording cleared that unknown for me.

@@kurt120032002 Ok..thank u...have a nice day~~

You can't judge the sound of this amp by listening to it on KZfaq.

@@kurt120032002 Basing your hifi purchases on KZfaq as opposed to real life experience of the amp says a lot about our times.

Right!!!! You know this album.

Thank u. L100 is very good.

Thank u~

I don't know Buchardt S400 but I know Focal 906. Congratulations on having 2200. 2200 and 906 match well.

Buchardt Audio, blow away the 906's! I'm just buying them in for my son. Very few speaker in what people call Bookshelf can keep up with the S400's. I have fool many people with them,,, they think there listing to a Full Size Reference quality Floor-standing Speaker! They are a dream! later

@@BWWGL9 Now that I hear you, I'm curious about Buchardt.

I left my Number on there email address and Mads Buchardt Called me, within a few hours. They deal DIRECT with Customer, taking the middleman out of the Sales system... They were about 1600 euros, but that included All VAT, Shipping, TAXS. Check them out of the Tube, they are Killer sweet. I also Purchased a IOTAXV SA3&PA3 Amp&Pre Amp from IOTA,,, again DIRECT... you would be hard pressed to find such a Quality & Powerful unit(s) in the USA for that price. Speak to IAN. Both of them when I got mine also included FREE 3-5day DHL Shipping to the USA. I believe the Buchardt would be along the line of the TOP bookshelf speaker made by Focal which are what $5K or so. Very few American made Speakers can give you the Quality as those made overseas. 60% of American made Speaker are Labor Cost Driven! Economics, I support American made product when Economically feasible. It's like the McDonalds worker who want $18.00 per hour for a Minimum SKILLED job, therefore I guess Technical ly trained people should made $55.00 minimum. The old dog chasing it tail...concept!

Buchardt S400 are one of the best bookshelf speakers I heard. They have been sold out for quite a while.

Thank u so much~

the as1200 is same sounding with micro difference, but you really have to compare it constantly to hear it. so i find this price NOT logical. only you pay like 5000+ for slightly bigger Vu meters.

@@Duijnkiller 2200 and 2100 feel a little different...

I walked into my local Yamaha dealer over the weekend with much enthusiasm. When I heard that the sticker price was $ 8K I walked out of the store feeling quite dejected knowing that I have been priced out of the market. Once one acquires a suitable pair of speakers and a premium CD player, a new Toyota Corolla will cost less. Pity about that!

A-S801 is good enough.!!!

​@@listentothemusic174 but u one cost 3 timesof AS801

I know MAC7200 is much more expensive. Anyway, thank you for the comments.

Maybe in Korea. In US they are the same price.@@listentothemusic174

They both msrp for $8,000 in the US.

How so ? MAC is more expensive men !

@@ivanronin8209 yamaha is 7,900$ usd Mac7200 is 8,000$ In USA

Great amp!

Yep... I've got the A-S3000.. and 2 video s on KZfaq.

@@dennishill290 I went to your channel. I envy your system.

Suzuki .....!

We have different ears.

His acoustics are very harsh. I have this amp and with some room treatments and about 45 minutes of warm up it sounds wonderful. This video doesn’t do this amp any favors.

@@davidt8438 I will be auditioning this early next year along with the Michi 3.

@@aussie8114 Be sure to give it about 45 minutes to an hour before critical listening or you will think it sounds too bright.

@@davidt8438that’s your brain adjusting to the sound, nothing more It’s not the other way around

What is 2k 6k??

Their cost@@listentothemusic174

​@@listentothemusic174 six thousand dollars amp pair with two thousands .

Thank u. I Agree.

Yes, I agree with you. This beast needs desperately to breathe and the turntable right above is stifling it. 😬😬

What's mean string artifact?

No. CD

I somewhat agree with you. I think the 1200 and 2200 are fairly priced but this 3200 is not. There is not enough differences between the 2200 and the 3200 to justify a $3500 price increase. $7500 is just too much. Lot's of other choices are available at that price. $5000 would have been fair in my opinion. It is made in Malaysia and not Japan so manufacturing costs are much lower. I'm sure Yamaha would still make money.

@@yippie6862 Agree - and I own the 1200. For the cash, the 3200 should offer significantly more power, it should be able to run any audiophile speaker on the planet at low impedence loads. There are inefficient high current demanding speakers that the amp comes up a bit short on. Beautiful amp, but way too high a price. Affordable Audio sometimes has refurbs though, I got my 1200 from them for 2K delivered, it was not distinguishable from new and not broken in yet. It is broken in now and it has been flawless. I wonder if someone got it and returned it as they did not like it's slightly bright sound. These amps do need at least 100 hours of break in.

@@craighoffman6876 Yes, from I read both the 1200 and 2200 take a long time to break-in. After that the bright sound mostly goes away. Compared your 1200 the 3200 has a slightly larger power supply, a few upgraded parts (not that expensive) and the biggest change is the chassis. It's much thicker and stronger structure that is suppose to reduce vibrations. Also, it has balanced inputs, phono switch on the front and larger VU meters. Interestingly it does sound better, but is it really worth a $4700 premium? That would buy a nice pair of speakers.

@@yippie6862 Almost bought the older 2100 for the same price at the time I got my 1200. Oh well, love the 1200, it sounds wonderful.

Audio and sound are subjective hobbies. I don't think so at all. They have been making instruments for a long time, so I think the philosophy of sound is better than other companies. I rather think other companies are cheating users.
