Yamaha is decent sound reinforcement stuff, amp power is usually
underrated, they put out more than the specs say, but it isn't studio
quality, if that's what you're looking for. .

OK, I'll bite. Just what exactly makes a stereo amp of "studio quality"
better than an otherwise excellent stereo amp?

I would concede the Yamaha consumer power amp is not "professional" in terms
of ruggedness etc, also in studio applications I can see that balanced
inputs might be necessary, but for the purpose of reproducing stereo sound,
as opposed to reinforcing it, I cannot think of any qualities that would
make a "studio" amp preferable in terms of sound quality.

Gold-plated connectors? "Digital-ready"? Rack-mounting? Power supplies
that can supply 1000% of the maximum overload current?

I hope that in a few years it [Wikipedia] will be so bloated that it
will simply disintegrate, because I can't stand the thought that this
thing might someday actually be used as a serious reference source.
Because in its current form, it's not to be taken seriously at all.

gold-plated connectors which wear off on the twenties reconnection;
I'd rather have nickel if I was reconnecting them a lot.

digital ready? BFD: that's a phrase slapped on everything down
to crappy sony headphones over the last 25 years.

rack mounting? OK. 1 difference.

PS that can handle 10x their overload current? I'd rather have an amp
that didn't blow out it's output stages in a heartbeat.

I was being sarcastic, if you didn't catch that.

I once powered a set of 15" 3-way speakers from a battery powered Sony
walkman (headphone out). At (very) low volume, sounded the same as usual.
