    I love that its bluetooth compatible, adds as another source of connection and makes it easy to move about from one rm to another without having to keep going back and fourth to the receiver.

    Replaced a failed Onkyo -- very pleased with this economy receiver -- unit feeds a couple Fluance towers and a Monoprice 12" sub-woofer -- sounds even better to my 74-YO plus ears -- the Bluetooth feature is really nice when listening to music or streaming a movie on the smartphone!

    Had to boost the bass quite a bit to equal my vintage Kenwood, but, it provides decent sound for an inexpensive unit.

    I'm a 1st time Yamaha electronics buyer other than a dirt bike I owned back in the early 80's. For now, it's sounds pretty good.

    Excellent audio, the remote works well, set-up was easy, I hooked the TV up to it for much better sound. Finding it on sale for $150 makes it even better.

    This is a base model and performs as such. Purchased this for my basement. The only complaint I have is the volume. You must turn the volume up past 70 in order to get any real sound out of this receiver. If you are looking for a good receiver at a decent price, this is the way to go.

    I was looking for a way to implement speakers that were already pre-wired in a room, and came across this receiver that was Bluetooth capable. Excellent solution.

    Great simple stereo receiver. I paired these up with my Klipsch R-51M and Spotify via bluetooth. Good sound quality and easy to setup/use. Depending on your sub, you could actually setup 2.1 using both set of speaker output zones.

    This Yamaha receiver performs very well with sound quality through external and headphone audio. This suits me well because all I wanted was a nice-sounding quality stereo receiver to do simple functions, something that I didn't get when I bought the Sony receiver that I had returned previously because it did not perform well at all with its poor sound quality and function. The remote takes getting used to because of the tiny buttons, making it difficult, if you have poor vision, to navigate the keys. Other than that for the price, general sound quality and function that I needed, it performs very well.

    Works great as a separate stereo setup that I have with my Polk bookshelf speakers. Plenty of power and it sounds good. I use the front panels controls and it works good with bluetooth from my smart phone for streaming music.

    This receiver took the place of another Yamaha receiver that lasted 29 yrs. As the other, this one was easy to set up and use. This one will outlast me.
