Yamaha? Welcome back!

In terms of bass, I have owned several class D integrated amps with their characteristics being about speed, tautness and clarity that I thought were ideal, though they always seemed lacking in mid-bass, lower midrange fullness (that's not an exhaustive evaluation of class D, just comments on the ones I've owned.)  In comparison, the as3000 is bolder and more visceral, you just expect this thing to have a higher power rating than it actually does.  I guess I've been of the mindset the last few years that if it wasn't class D then the lower bass wouldn't quite be to my liking (I really valued bass speed and taughtness) but the 3000 has sort of shattered that preconception.  At low volumes natural and poised come to mind.  At higher volumes big and powerful.  But always with a fullness to the sound.  Keep in mind too all of my comments are based on two days worth of use, so clearly I'm in the honeymoon stage.

(BTW speakers are Tyler Acoustcs D2's, Acoustic Zen Absolute cabling, CD player is a cheap'o Yamaha bluray player while I wait for my DAC to come in.  Listening room is 25'x21'x8'.)

I've had a Yamaha as3000 in my system for two days now and it's a pretty amazing integrated.  Was aiming for a 2100 but couldn't resist the 3000 and bought it used.  It's doing the things MOSFET's are good at (smooth, liquid, natural) without some of the nasty stuff like lack of detail or energy.  It has a big, powerful, detailed sound but I do find that I'm listening a little louder than I typically do.  Using it single ended right now but will soon try balanced.  Looks aren't supposed to matter but it looks awesome in silver.  Built like a battleship.  Very happy thus far.
