Hi,

I got a Yamaha DSP - A3090 I would like to sell. If anyone interested just make me an offer. Regrettable sales, but I needed the cash.

You can sms me on 0499377040 Matt ( Liverpool )

I came across a whole stack of Audio Video equipment that was put to the curb several years ago. VCR's, speakers, monster cable, sub woofers, etc, etc. I did not need any additional gear at the time.but noticed this nice Yamaha amp within the pile. I said what the heck, I'll check it out.
It was missing the remote that I eventually bought off ebay for $30.00. I decided to hook it up to my speaker system which is mostly vintage. Wow! What a sound. I can't think for the life of me why someone would want to dump it. I was running a Sansui AU-517 at the time, but it required some service work. I pulled that unit and replaced it with the Yamaha. Long story short, I have been using it ever since. I had to recouple the pre-amp back to the power amp using inexpensive RCA cables. The original owners must have used a separate power amps in conjunction with the preamp to this unit. I don't see why when you already have 80 wpc included.

I love the Yamaha digital fields that give you a digital ambiance to your speaker systems. If you come across one of these for a reasonable price, you may want to give it a try. They are built like a tank. No cheesy plastic on these units.

Good golly this is 2012....I was looking for decent speakers for my tube preamp and high current amp and came across BW 805 Matrix selling for $300 used. The owner wanted to sell everything (BW 805 Matrix, BW 805 Center speakers, Paradigm bipolars A200, and the YAMAHA DSP A3090 made in JAPAN not CHINA) for $500. I laughed at the Yamaha when I loaded it in my car. It was very heavy.

Did not really care for it but was enjoying the tube set up paired with the BW 805 Matrix bi-wired with Analysis Plus Oval 9s. Great set-up.

Got bored one Saturday night, so I said what the heck. Set-up the Yamaha with the 5 speakers and fired it up. Nothing magical for the last 2 hours until I calibrated everything right then....OOHHH my gosh...fell flat on my a**.

Distortion of .015%, hefty transformer, the size, the weight...then it occured to me this is one quality great-sounding integrated amp.

Listened to Holly Cole, Diana Krall, Laura Fygi,jazz, rock and this beast lets it all flow effortlessly and the speakers disappear. It is an unbelievable beast,

Wow, do not like the hard-wired IEC, it is 16 years old and still sounds superb. Would I keep it, of course. I have not heard the 2012 Marantz (SR7005) with state of the art chips and dips but don't really care and I do not want to spend $1500 on another receiver.

The Yamaha A3090 is 16 years old but beats many current models out there using cheap chips and dips. I'll let it sing for as long as it can then maybe look into a Marantz in the future,

Last of the great stuff of yesteryears....

i bought this amp(yamaha dsp-a3090) used at Goodwill for $6.99(six dollars and ninety-nine cents). it is the most amazing amp i've had yet, i didn't know the value of it when i bought it. pleasent surprise!

for the price,it's offer excellent sound for music n for movie (dolby digital) + build quality n looks that u will happily live with,for any price it's offer the best dsp sound in the world (both for music n movie) :-)

i bought a 3090 3wks ago,floor model for 1000pls tax.i did an a/b comparison at home against both the dspa1 and the 2095.when listening to stereo the 3090 sounded better than both of them..more detail in the music and it was just as loud as the a1,eventhough it has 80wattts vs 110for the a1.so if you dont care about dts and want a great sounding amp go find a 3090 if you can...also dps modes sounded better on the a1 but i really dont care for those anywa....hey bc c from usa can you please email mail me and tellme where you found one for 1100 brand new...thanks

Solid build, great sound, look/feel, future-ready (did not feel any upgrades necessary for the last 5 years)

Speaker connectors at the rear. A speaker switch (between A and B) would have been nice

This is one of my best buys ever and I have bought and sold many audio and video equipment. I bought this to replace my previous Yamaha receiver which was one of their entry level products. I fell in love with their products ever since. And to jump from their entry level receiver to this giant-killer is quite a leap!!!! This beauty was Yamaha's flagship product before they introduced the A1.

When I bought this home theatre amp, DD5.1 had just come out. There were not many software that came encoded with DD5.1 either. But this one was promised to be future ready and man!!! is it!!! Okay, fine, DTS emerged soon afterwards, but who needs DTS anyway???? And how many LDs or DVDs can you get hold of that offers DTS???

The Yamaha DSPA 3090 has CD, LD, 2 tapes, DVD, tuner, 2 video and phono connections. It has both optical and coaxial digital inputs for CD, LD and DVD. And this came out in 1996!!!

The sound is tremendous. I was using Bose 2.2 with this and currently have Definitive Technology's Cinema 80 connected. I have not used it with real quality speakers yet (which is a temptation I have been resisting for quite some time due to the lack of space in my apartment), and I shiver at the thought of how rich it would sound if I did that. This is the amp that has tought me to listen to music and movies without turning the bass and treble knobs or even hitting the loudness button. It can give any product a run for all its worth, whether listen to music or enjoying home cinema. I can crank up the volume as much as I like and the sound does not distort a single bit. The amp can be connected to external power amps as well if you fancy that sort of thing.

Last year when I moved from Bangladesh to here in Dubai, I considered selling it off and getting a new amp. But my brother talked me out of it. I realise now that it would have been a stupid stupid mistake.

I have just one complaint: the speaker connections are not banana plug compatible. This makes connecting cables quite difficult.

Although this product is now obsolete, if you can get your hands on one and if you are contemplating on upgrading to home theatre or your current AV reveiver then go for it with your eyes closed. You will not regret it a single bit.

Only 2ch, and I don´t like the finish

Great, the best machine I´ve ever used, but now I will upgrade anyway. Just because I want to.

Great sounding musically, nice weight and solid build.

No DTS and 5.1 inputs.

This is one of the best sounding integrated amplifier/DSP that I've heard lately. It definetly sounds better than my RXV-995 that I have in my bedroom. The 3090 is used primarly for music (although it may be used for Home Theatre applications later) which it is suited wonderfully for. I got this as a gift for Christmas since I didn't need another Home Theartre Receiver, but wanted a nice integrated amplifier for music and perhaps something else later. The only thing that this unit lack are DTS and 5.1 inputs (again, I don't really use it for that purpose but wound be nice to have). I guess I could of asked for the DSP-A1 but than that would be way more money and, as I heard for some reviewers, less musically sounding. If you want a simple, solid build integrated amplifier with DD (at least you can use the Dolby Digital for Satalite), an outrageous number of surround sound fields, than this is one of the best deals around for under $1000. There may be other reciever out there with more power and perks (DTS), but than you wouldn't get this kind of quality (it is an integrated amplifier, not a reciever!) for the same amount of price/performance ratio. Enjoy.
