What a end game integrated amp. However I feel like at this point it's so much diminishing returns I could probably get a 1200 for much cheaper without losing too much on fidelity.

Why would the 150watt amp sound better than the 80 watt amp at low volumes?
You do realize at low volumes you are using less than 1 watt per channel and usually far, far less then that.
So really what is your logic here?

On a side note, you ought to consider using tone controls at low volumes to compensate for the fact our hearing is not linear and at low SPL the bass will sound much quieter vs the midrange. So turn the bass up at low SPL or use loudness compensation.

Quote from bogus1 :
I upgraded from an 80-watt Yamaha to a 150-watt Yamaha. Same speakers. I use it for background music in my home office. I play it soft so as to not disturb the others during my online meetings. The difference was significant. The 80-watt Yamaha could only be listened to for a few hours before I got tired of the distraction. The 150-watt Yamaha plays all day. And when I don't have on-line meetings, I get to turn it up.
When loud, they sound more the same than they do different. When played soft, I hear more of the full spectrum of sound, especially bass, with the 150-watt Yamaha. I don't use tone controls or processing. If you've got the money, and value a $3000 discount, I think this is worth checking out.
Are you sure you don't have the Loudness button engaged on one of them?

Wow, I have the Yamaha A-S1100 and my meters look tiny compared to this! Wish I could afford to upgrade.

This is wild how many levels of product even the most arden audiophile would easily pick over this for the price. This is actually a flex product for one's personal 2 channel audio room.

I used to sell high-end audio equipment, and there were only a few where you could really hear a difference. I am not saying this is one, but it is rare.

For this kind of money, you could get a Bryston amp with 250 w per side and a Bryston preamp, which would blow this Yamaha away. Or you could find a used pair in nice shape for under $3000.

The problem for Yamaha is they already hit near perfection at the $500-$1000 level with their stereo receivers. This has more bells and whistles but your money would be better spent on speakers than on a receiver this expensive.
