Yamaha A-S301 vs Pioneer Elite A-20

Yamaha A-S301 review

Yamaha A-S301 output power is two times higher than Pioneer has. Look at it: 60W vs 30W (8 Ohms). The model was created on the principle: simplicity in everything. This was reflected in the equipment in a positive way. The front panel is made of aluminum. It successfully located all the necessary levers for control. When creating the equipment, ToP-ART technology was applied. Thanks to it, the sound quality is constantly growing up. The signal transmission is not affected in any way by noise or distortion. When creating the device were used parts of the highest quality.

Pioneer Elite A-20 review

On the attractive brushed aluminum front panel, you've got the basics including a volume knob, tone and balance adjustments, a loudness button, a "direct" mode button, speaker A/B selector, and a headphone jack. That's it; there's no LED display, no attempts to simulate surround sound, etc. Flipping over to the back panel, you get four pairs of standard 5 way binding posts, six analog inputs (including one phono input), a tape output, and a control in/out which allows centralized control of other Pioneer components via the A-20's IR sensor. Both models have no bluetooth and XLR inputs.
