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 had old, high-end stereo with 2 great speakers inside and 2 smaller outside speakers that only go outside, as needed. Advisor came to my home and sold me just what I needed. Quality sound for a fraction of the cost back in the day. Geek squad hooked up receiver, CD. All performing nicely.

Sound is great. Good product. The program is good.

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

very nice unit, and def puts out the sound. east to hookup

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

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

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.

Excellent receiver, great performance and good value!

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

Very nice receiver. Love the Bluetooth feature. The sound is great. I’m using it for my outdoor speakers.

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

Unfortunately, the amp has to be on in order for a Bluetooth device to connect to it.

Great product!! Made the shop sound fantastic! Strongly recommend!!

Sound is great! I have my tv, Xbox, record player and Blu-ray hooked up to this unit and the sound is phenomenal for the price. I have two 12” subs with mid and high tweeters in boxes hooked. I can hear my system literally down the street with my doors closed @ 70% volume. Bass and treble are adjustable.

Very clear sound. Easy set up. Works wonderfully from my phone from inside and outside the house. Very happy with purchase!

Quality workmanship. Good value - reasonable features for the money. Works flawlessly - and easy set up.

Got this and a small set of polk bookshelf speakers (S15) to improve the sound of my father's TV. Works well--sound is much clearer and better quality that soundbars imo. The remote keys are tool small though imo. This is obviously stereo and there is no surround sound...but we didn't need that. Just clean stereo sound, Huge improvement,

This is my second purchase of this same item. The first Yamaha - 200W 2-Ch. Bluetooth is hooked up to 6 speakers in my garage, I also route the cheap garage computer thru it via one of the AUX hookups. The sound is crisp and clean and powerful. We bought another to route our new 65" Smart TV sound to two large tower speakers. Very happy with the sound quality. Highs and lows are clean with zero humm, hisss or crack. You could spend more, but why would you - this unit delivers studio quality audio. You'll love it.

It’s good for what you get i don’t know if it’s worth $200 though
