Having owned many Yamaha amps including the 801, I suggest finding a used Rogue Cronus Magnum II. The Rogue is more mid-centric in a good way, and it sounds much more powerful than the 100 watt rating implies, especially when set to 4-ohm output. It’s a ballsy, dynamic sound but still retains enough detail to satisfy most listeners. It won’t let the very finest of details through (though no amp in this price range does) but it makes up for that in how it renders the midrange and bass textures. The downsides are the heat and some faint transformer hum. If you can forgive those factors, it is one of the best values in an integrated under $5K.
BtW, the 801 is one of the least impressive Yamaha amps I have owned or auditioned. It didn’t sound weak per se, but it definitely homogenized everything it played and was a boring sound to put it simply. I much prefer my old A-S500.
