Puzzleheaded-Ride-66Got me a Yamaha YAS-109 from marketplace way below the 100 dollar. Love the audio and bass sound. It’s good there’s an audio port for subwoofer out which I love and connect with my 12 inch Polk sub . This thing rocks.
ADHDKI had a cheapie JBL for a week then picked up a cheap Yamaha YAS on marketplace, and very quickly gave away the JBL. Had to change sound modes on the JBL constantly for clarity depending on the source.
