At this cost, I would rather go with an AVR with 5.1 discrete amp at more power output, HDMI/Coax/Optical digital IO and cleaner audio though without the "sweet" sound signature of an stereo "music tuned" amp!

Thnx all. Will check suggestions

denzong it seems you have the Yummy Yammy AS500 now. How does it sound? You promised us about writing a short review on it, as far as i can remember.

 

[denzong]

Yups I got it but went out of town for 20 days as soon as I got it. So will be laoding the review soon

Thanks in advance.:licklips:

I say this becoz this forum is running dry of really informative reviews.

It takes me a lot of pain to say, that I have learnt very little related to audio gear from hifivision, it was actually AudioKarma.org forum where I learnt a lot.

People over there write a lot about their audio gear, post pics etc.

From hifivision i learnt names of audio gear, thats it.

As an Indian an a member of Hifivsion it is my duty to save this forum and write some informative reviews with the little knowledge i possess.

I request other members to write reviews post pics, realted to their gear.

^^^^^ Responsibilities, work / home pressures are a lot higher in this land to be able to have quality time at anyone's disposal to be able to put in detailed info.

Off and on is somewhat possible ....... more so, when one is NOT a bachelor anymore.

What's this got to do with the thread

Hi Denzong,

FM Paritosh has bought the same receiver recently, maybe you should PM him to find out how he finds it performing. He has paired it with Paradigm Monitor 7 FS.

Meanwhile, sorry for going OT but this needs to be said for certain member finding Hifivision not being able to provide more 'information' to his liking:

Its very simple really.

Those who find no benefit of being part of this forum should leave it ASAP.
Less headache for one & all that way:indifferent14:

 

[denzong]

True hemant. But I am still confused with the reply.

Hey denzong, what speakers you are using with AS500? I heard they are a little forward sounding.

What type of speakers would you recommend?

 

[denzong]

I am using wharf 9.5 as well as evo8 sometimes

 

[rishiguru]

I am using wharf 9.5 as well as evo8 sometimes

Thanks for the info.

Which speakers suits best between these two?

 

[denzong]

Both are very powerful speakers and the amp can easily drive both. Evo8 is also 8ohms

 

[rishiguru]

I meant to say which speaker suits AS500 better & sounds more musical than the other in your ears.

 

[denzong]

Yaar both are decent. Depends on the budget

 

[S.P.KRISHNA]

I meant to say which speaker suits AS500 better & sounds more musical than the other in your ears.

9.5 and EVO 8 both are laid back speakers with preference to LF which does not suit to AS 500 musically.

Regards

 

[denzong]

Honestly I have not felt the same. Both are excellent for music and have never felt it otherwise.
I have tested the speakers with sansui amp, kenwood and now yamaha.
Don't agree with this point unless its an individual opinion.
