Yamaha A-S500

Bright clear sound, nice remote control. Pure direct is great!

None that I can think of, no remote for bass, treble, balance maybe?

Yamaha A-S500

Great dynamic range particuarly when pure direct button is pressed. Tone is slightly on the warm side but tone controls are available to set your own preferences. I purchased at a discounted price making it amazing value for money.

I haven't noticed any yet.
