The Yamaha AX-497 is a powerful 2 channel stereo integrated amplifier (85W per channel) with a useful array of facilities, including two pairs of switched speaker outputs and full remote control. The AX497 is future-proofed thanks to the wide frequency response which will enable DVD-audio and SACD users to hear the benefits of the new formats and the useful record out selector which enables you to record from one source, whilst listening to another.
