Key Features
The Yamaha A-S301 Stereo Amp & AE100 Speakers Hifi Package is an all-in-one solution with everything you need to get started on your hi-fi journey with an amplifier, speakers and cables all included.
The Yamaha A-S301 Black Stereo Amplifier is designed using high-quality components to give you the best performance possible. Its custom-made power transformer, custom-made block capacitors, two direct signal path speaker relays, one-point grounding system, aluminium-extruded heat sinks and other top-quality parts effortlessly handle demanding audio signal conditions. What's more, its stylish appearance will complement any home.
Finally, the included Acoustic Energy AE100 Bookshelf Speakers exhibit qualities which perfectly embody those of Acoustic Energy. They have been designed with a view to achieving high sound pressure levels from an extremely small enclosure. This is obtained principally through the use of a 4 inch mid-bass drive unit built around an ultra-high force, long-throw motor system. Bass performance is augmented by a slot-shaped duct allowing for a considerable cross-sectional area while negating the issues of air turbulence.

"The overall effect is great; sounding punchy and articulate with lots of energy and articulation - plus a satisfying sheen."
"The AE100s are a fantastic budget loudspeaker that sound much more than their price. Don’t be fooled by their size – they can punch out a tune with great resolution and no sign of strain. They are one of the best £200 loudspeakers I’ve heard and deserve an audition."
ToP-ART Design and ART Base Ensure Optimum Sound When processing and transmission of the audio signal is simple and direct there is less chance of it being affected by noise and distortion. Yamaha’s amplifier design technology called ToP-ART features an I/O (input to output) Direct Symmetrical Design, with left and right channels organised in a straight, symmetrical layout for highest signal purity. In addition, the ART (Anti-Resonance and Tough) Base bottom chassis and a solid centre bar provide high-rigidity support and vibration damping. These Yamaha design innovations contribute to this amplifiers’ rich audio reproduction with abundant musicality.
Custom-made power transformer, custom-made block capacitors, two direct signal path speaker relays, one-point grounding system, aluminium-extruded heat sinks and other top-quality parts effortlessly handle demanding audio signal conditions. The quality of each individual part, as well as how they work together, basically determines the sound quality of any component. Yamaha uses only very high quality parts, carefully selected and tested.
The AE100 Series introduces a number of improvements and evolutionary changes all focused on refining the listening experience at the same time as providing a more room friendly loudspeaker. AE have introduced a WDT tweeter assembly from the AE1 Active, which creates far better in-room dispersion, as well as locating slot ports to the rear for less midrange colouration and improved bass response. At the same time, the external design has been improved for a more elegant appearance and smaller footprint that should work well in a wide variety of surroundings.
A 28mm soft dome tweeter featuring our Wide Dispersion Technology completes the driver compliment, that’s housed within an 18mm MDF cabinet. Taking design cues from the award winning Reference Series and finished in a choice of satin black, walnut vinyl veneer or limited edition satin white finishes, the AE100 is sure to look good wherever you choose to place it while delivering a sound that belies its compact size.
