Customer Ratings & Reviews

Before purchasing Amp I knew this wasn't a true 100 Watt per Channel Amp, Yamaha like others in this price range mess with the numbers. Real Power output? Maybe 30-50 Watts per channel and truth be told they're not even real impressive watts. The Sound is lacking/thin. I have a Yamaha R-S700 with a real 100 watts per Channel and it walks all over this little receiver but it also cost me around 4 time more than this. Got this for the Garage, it'll do good out there, paired with 90 db speakers or better it does alright, with my 99 db Klipsch Heresy speakers this amp manages to approach respectable but those speakers can make a 6 watt amp sound like a giant. This amp won't handle running 2 pair A+B of speakers very long it recommends not going lower that 8 ohm speakers, 2 pairs of 8 ohm speakers is a 4 ohm load and driven at loud volumes the amp will not last. This is a sub-entry level 2 channel receiver at a decent price. If you want a real entry level 2 channel Receiver start looking at about the 400 dollar level on up. This is a cheap amp that does play and has Yamaha's Look and Name but falls short on what I would call the classic Yamaha Sound. Places for an amp like this? Garage, Shed, Kids room... you get the idea.

I bought the Yamaha receiver as a replacement for my outdoor speakers that are mounted on the ceiling on my 3 season porch; replacing my older unit. I got this unit as open box return at a very good price. The Bluetooth works great paired with my iPhone now I can independently listen to satellite radio for music sports and what ever I have connected to it. But now no static from over the air antennas. It also has a good amplifier section much better than the other unit clean and powerful. And it’s a Yamaha

Excellent receiver, great performance and good value!

Easy to use & set up. Hard to find good amp with balance & base/treble controls. Plenty of power!

Am fm reception great, lots of power, easy to run and hook up. I wish it had a hair more bottom....just a hair.

Under certin currcumstances its a great purchase highly recomended if u like base its also bluetooth from ur fone or tablet.did not get to use but im sure when i do it will b worth the wait had somethin like this product before.but the upgrade to this one im sure will b much better.so if u guys r wondering is it worth buying yes yes yes go buy it as soon as possible for urself or for friends or fam even coworkers

Very good value with good sound and features. The remote control however is cheap and needs to be redesigned. Overall, I am pleased with the quality of the tuner.

perfect power full yamaha reciever powering a pair of polk towers speakers and the bluetooth is cool to.

Replaced my older 7.1 amp for a two channel amp for my Martin Logan speakers. Sounds great and the Bluetooth works well.

Nice 200w stereo with clear sound. The only negative is the remote control and how it has to be pointed directly in front of the stereo and can not pick up remote from any angle. Buttons on the remote are small and are uncomfortable on the fingers.

Nice, good receiver. Was looking for one without too many connections, and this is the one. Good sound and easy to work.

Well built ans super quality of sound. Love the bluethooth

Used this receiver for in-wall speakers in our game room, it had plenty of power and the Bluetooth feature is very convenient.

This Yamaha unit has a clean amplifier and sufficient power to drive the speakers I use. Good bang for your buck. I am able to hook up all my applicable audio sources and the tuner is sufficient for my needs. The only drawback is if you want to hook up a turntable without a preamp to this unit, this will not work for you because it has no phono jack. Hooking up a seperate preamp between the turntable and stereo receiver may be an option.

Needed a new receiver and this Yamaha does the trick. Very easy to set up and love the bluetooth.

Love this receiver. Very simple to hook up and use. Bluetooth signal reaches very far also.
