Why AS500 and not the "better" AS700?
Well quite clearly: I run this unit to Canton 770 and the Sub8. In this respect, the performance of the little brother is sufficient.
Who told me that it depends primarily on the sound amplifier which should think times if he should not have invested more in the boxes.
Why is the AS500 for me the better choice? Clearly:
1. Subwoofer Direct Out connector
2. iPhone / iPod Dock
Neither can the AS700. As already indicated above, probably hardly anyone a tonal contrast to Yamaha AS700 is out listening (to the same speakers).
Exception: One uses
All TOP, but great disappointment in the feel!
Schade Yamaha, but these buttons and especially the volume controls should not be made of cheap plastic !!!! I have our children's furniture missed new attacks yesterday. All of the furniture feel now much higher quality. Even the touch exactly the same cabinet looks much valent although only the handles are new. Would immediately the control on Yamaha AS500 exchange - but is not - pity Yamaha and think about.
Still not a drawback from me, as this has no effect on sound quality or performance of the amplifier.
