Yamaha - R-S202BL 200W 2-Ch. Stereo Receiver - Black

Pretty good sounding unit for the money. For CD I run through an equalizer. Which I can make up for the lousy speak placement. The Bass and Treble works well, but could have a mid-range which would help out. Running 4 speakers and the unit has no problem powering them, and has plenty of sound. Don't lose the remote, it comes in handy for other settings. FM receiver is pretty good too! Better then my last stereo. Bluetooth fires right up, no problem connecting to S21. I don't have any grips with the unit, Simple to use, just enough buttons to make the 'look' simple and easy to look at. I wonder if I will get 50 years out of it as that is how long the last receiver lasted. Ha! Why I went with Yamaha receiver is because I have had good luck with Yamaha products.

Great sound, affordable cost. It was an easy setup. Worked great with other components.

I bought this for home use— driving two pairs of vintage speakers. I have some JBL studio reference monitors from the early 90's, and a second set of vintage Fishers from the late 60s. Both sound great, and sometimes I even drive BOTH pairs together. This Yamaha is so much cleaner than any common vintage receiver, and Steve Guttenberg (the Audiophiliac) has rated it as a great value. Bluetooth works great and pairs effortlessly-- I have no idea what problems others are having with it.

This was an upgrade from a 20 plus year old receiver ( had a vsx 1021 ) it looks great and makes my old boston acoustic vr 40’s and the newer klipsch sound amazing . Ive owned this for a few months and have not been disappointed in anyway

Typical of Yamaha, good stuff. For a simple low cost amp for my shop, delivers strong sound with power to spare, and really digging the Bluetooth feature. At sound level 6.5 can hear the sounds from down the street. Very happy with purchase and would recommend for simple low cost amp for sounds.
