Source: europe.yamaha.com (read 2026-07-13) STALE · 2026-07-13 · corroborated by novo.press (read 2026-07-13). Yamaha's official A-S801 specification page (europe.yamaha.com) confirms the model identity as the A-S801 integrated amplifier and states the rated figures verbatim: Minimum RMS Output Power 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 0.019% THD), Total Harmonic Distortion 0.019% (50 W/8 ohms), Signal-to-Noise Ratio 99dB, and Weight 12.1 kg; at 4 ohms it lists only Maximum Power and High Dynamic Power (not a rated continuous RMS figure), so the 4-ohm key is left null. The dated novo.press review of the same A-S801 corroborates the model and confirms its MM phono stage, the built-in ESS ES9010K2M USB DAC, the front headphone output, and that Bluetooth requires an optional adapter (no onboard Bluetooth) — and prices it at $1099. US retailer Hi-Fi Heaven separately lists the A-S801's original MSRP as $1,099.95, confirming the US price point.
