    So I was looking for a cheap receiver to play holiday tunes on outside my house... this fit the bill. Great Bluetooth connectivity and functions. The only negative is the volume is a bit low. But you can tell it's well built and for the price. Perfect!!!

    I have one of these in my garage so decided to purchase another one for the lake. Have it set up with Yamaha outdoor speakers on the dock and the deck. Love the bluetooth and the sound is excellent. Great little receiver from Best Buy. Awesome

    This unit definitely lives up to the reviews. Very positive! Yamaha doesn't make a bad amp; and for the money this is a great value. Now if it had a 12ax7 pre... THAT would have been optimal... Happy with the purchase!

    It has enough power to drive my 1960's era AR2's nicely. The sound is good. So far everything works as advertised, Bluetooth and FM easy to set up and use. One of the stations I listen to is somewhat difficult to receive and I have had trouble with other tuners at my location, but the Yamaha receives it clearly with no noise.

    The Yamaha - 200W 2-Ch. Stereo Receiver - Black is perfect for my home. Easy to install. Working great so far. Plus, it looks fantastic with my other old school components. Also, it has the option for blue tooth.

    I bought this for backyard use. Hooked up to two outdoor Yamaha speakers. I ran my outside tv sound through a/v cable optical adapter from Amazon. Sounds great for my yard. Recommended. Bluetooth works great also.

    This receiver was not only at an affordable price, it just sounds amazing! I bought it to connect some bookshelf speakers to my turntable. My turntable has a preamp built in, so I only needed to plug in the RCA cables into the receiver. Then, I plugged in my JBL bookshelf speakers. Super easy to use, Bluetooth capabilities, and just all around good quality that you would expect to find with Yamaha!

    This might be just what you are looking for... Plenty of power to drive the speakers you already have, great spec’s, and even has bluetooth to stream from your phone or ipad, etc. Priced right too! My application is a garage/workshop that I had an old Sony receiver driving a pair of tower speakers by Pioneer that have to be 30 years old... but the Sony came to a very untimely end when a shelf gave out at just the wrong time! The old speakers sound great.. this receiver has better reception on both AM and FM and the streaming is a great bonus!

    Solid receiver, good sound. Bluetooth is nice and works reliably - I use it to stream audio from a small PC in our conference room. Disappointed to see there was no optical audio input, otherwise happy with my purchase.

    The main reason for purchasing the receiver is because of the bluetooth capabilities. It has great sounds. We have had no problems with the bluetooth connecting to devices while inside or outside our home.

    Bought to replace a 30 year old Realistic amp. A great replacement for a reasonable price. Using with 30 year old 100 watt speakers and cd player. Blue tooth makes a nice new addition. Everything sounds great.

    Easy to set up, great Bluetooth range, sound quality for 2 channel music listening is very good, especially given no dsp. After owning the insignia 2 channel stereo receiver this is a definiate upgrade.

    Glad to see somebody still makes a simple solid clean and powerful 2 channel stereo amp for audio listening without all the clutter and confusion of a home theater receiver. Plenty of inputs, logical operation, dead-quiet noise floor, basic but responsive remote control. About the only thing it lacks is a built-in phono pre-amp to directly plug-in a turntable here in this era of "vinyl revival." Then again, many newer turntables have a built-in phono pre-amp, or you can buy one to plug into this Yamaha for as little as $25. All told, for less than $150, you get a modern version of the classic stereo receiver that ruled home audio systems from the 60's thru 90's.
