The A-S3200 is Yamaha's flagship-tier integrated amplifier with phono stage and receiver functionality, sitting above the A-S2200 with considerably greater output power and mass. The A-S3200 represents Yamaha's most ambitious current statement in integrated amplifier engineering.
Key specs that matter
Two balanced XLR inputs and two single-ended inputs plus a dedicated phono input are provided. Input impedance is 47,000 ohms single-ended, with the phono stage offering 50,000 ohms for MC or 47,000 ohms for MM. Output power is 170W into 4 ohms - considerably more than the A-S2200. Frequency response spans a wide 5Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 90dB for MC or 96dB for MM. Damping factor exceeds an extraordinary 250, matching the A-S2200. At 435 x 180 x 464mm and 24.7kg, the A-S3200 represents Yamaha's absolute current flagship integrated engineering ambition.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, tightly controlled amplification reflecting the extraordinary over-250 damping factor combined with the substantial output power, representing Yamaha's most accomplished current integrated engineering.
Pairing
The comprehensive balanced-and-phono connectivity accommodates a source-rich, professionally connected system.
Alternatives
Yamaha's own A-S2200 offers a somewhat more accessible alternative within the same broader A-S catalogue.
