PSA: Yamaha AS-801 on sale at Amazon

Yamaha AS-801 on sale for $649, shipped and sold by Amazon. By far the lowest I've ever seen it new w/ USA warranty.

 

That's a great price. I got mine for $599 at B&H before the holidays and have been more than happy with it. In fact, I would not think twice about buying it even at the regular price of $899: it's that good. Still a bit dry in the vocals but other than that, the excellent bass articulation and impact, impressive macro dynamics, decent high-end extension, and versatility make it an incredible value.

 

good to know prices can get that low.
alas black is currently regular price.
B&H was matching silver yesterday for a while.
