Our current channel is staying vintage, don't worry!
If you want an indication to how good Yamaha is, I’m still running a CA700 from the 1970’s! Driving a couple of KEF concertos, it still performs brilliantly.
….and I’m still rocking a Carver AV100…it has a loose tuner button…that’s it. I think I bought it in 1979🤷♂️
I have owned a Yamaha RX-V661 AVR for 17 years and it is performing just like if it was brand new. A few days ago I opened it and blew it out for the very first time. I trust the Yamaha brand 100%
Im a Yamaha girl myself. I own 3 receivers from the 90s, an 80s Amp, an 1990 dual tape deck and a late 90s 5 disc changer. I think Yamaha is one of the more quality gear out there.
I love that they incorporated the meters. I love meters.
Also those Mission speakers are mint.
Thanks. Been looking at various areas of the 2 channel Yamaha range today. Your video was really helpful.
I like Yamaha kept their trademark square buttons and rectangle knobs for their modern receivers. They can blend in with their classic audio equipment from the 70's.
Rectangle knobs are underrated, they might not be as attractive but you know where the volume dial is at instantly.
Thanks for showing these! So glad Yamaha is still producing new stereo boxes. And they look beautiful!
I've been using the Yamaha RX-Z9 since 2007, still works and sounds great. It's been paired up with Definitive technology speakers. I recently purchased a RX-A8A and haven't yet set it up yet, but looking forward to hearing it once I do. Been a fan of Yamaha since 1994.
Still very happy with my trusty Yamaha R8 receiver (85 watts per channel) purchased in June 1985. It drives my beloved pair of Altec Voice of the Theatre speakers purchased in August 1975. Hope these components last me for the rest of my life.
I'm a Yamaha fan. I owned the RN602 and loved it. What I didn't love was the Music Cast software. If that was at the same level as Bluesounds BluOS player then that would indeed be a game changer for Yamaha.
The USB/DAC option is Unreal!! Songs that i had on heavy rotation in my life are unfolded with new details, and extremley Warm and Smooth, This is when i used DSD 256 music files. But playing songs on Tidal unfolds the songs in the same way!! I had a Nad 3020 before, but this machine has so many creative options. I just purchased a used SACD player very cheap, and cant wait to hear it, when the first SACD Disc arrives in the mail. I connected the SACD player with Toslink and Digital RCA, and via the remote control, you can easily switch between the indputs to hear the difference. I still have to get me some analog cables to connect it with. i have had the R-N800A for almost a week now, and im still learning. Next is a new turntable ;) Get one before they are sold out, this machine is killing it's competitors!!
Yamaha...always awesome. I bought an A-S 501 from Just Audio a few years back which is doing wonderful things for my analog audio environment. I am a long-time Yamaha fan. My son operates a CR-1020 that I purchased in the late 70s, & refurbished a few years back. I am currently refurbishing a CR-1000 to add to my analog audio gear. My main speakers are my 1970s purchased JBL L110s which I bought with the CR-1020 ...still amazing beyond belief. My digital/AVS receiver is also Yamaha...replacing old regularly failing Denon's & Onkyo's...hdmi failures, sadly.
Timeless look! I bought a Yamaha amp in 1996 with CerwinVega! VS120 speakers and it was a great combo. At low volumes the loudness control was magical. I wish more amps had a loudness type option
Love the look and build quality.
Still rockin' an R-2000 from the 80's pushing a pair of Polk monitor 10b's. Even have a spare R-900 for backup!
Nice review, Is the sound quality difference, between the amps, actually noticeable better at normal listening levels?
Great round up. Are the dials and switches metal on on these? I assume the 2000 is but the 1000, and 800? Also, it would be great to have a dedicated video on the room correction feature; like where it makes the most sense because I get the impression with room correction its going to be highly dependent on the room as to how much its going to benefit you.
I love my new Yamaha reciever. It's Bluetooth and 11-1 . Wow every home with THX needs this. My old RXV1 still is working after 25 years. But my new equipment is state of the art.
Found a 2nd hand A-S3000 recently. Absolutely love it
Yamaha is one of the few consumer audio companies left that still owns itself, so that says something.
Sure does
It’s because they’re the largest music company in the World…they’re the 800lb. Gorilla.. they just bought Ampeg bass amps and Line 6 digital guitars and amps
That's because there is virtually nothing they don't make. Every musical instrument known to man.
I’ll stick with my vintage Yamaha collection. 😊
GREAT VIDEO!!! What would you recommend for my setup: I only have two front speakers, 685 S2 and an AS608 subwoofer. Those speakers seem to like power. I like to see the USB files on the TV screen...thanks!)
thank you for the great video...I own Yamaha R-N303...Would you think it's worth to upgrade to Yamaha R-N600A or Yamaha R-N800A? Not that I don't like R-N303,but what is your opinion?
Yamaha, bought my first reciever in 1977 using my savings from cutting lawns and fixing bikes. Still have my Yamaha turntable from 1978. Love those VU meters!!
Hey Lenny. What would you advise me, RN-2000 or AS-1200 with a separate streamer? I'm not sure how long Yamaha will update the software for the inbuilt streamer, but I'm worried that eventually it might become an issue. It's mostly for music, but movies and series as well. HDMI arc is certainly handy, especially since I'm minimalist. I know those two receivers are for different purposes, but what's your take? Cheers.

ive had yamaha,s since the early 70's. i still have alot of vintage gear. i just love the yamaha A-S1100 integrated amp, i picked up about 6 years ago. it sounds divine! if you get a chance , pop the hood on this one. you wont be disapointed. by the way. great video
I’m definitely a Yamaha fan, I have 9 Yamaha receivers/amps dating from the 70s to now, but I also love the sound and look of my Leak 230 that I proudly purchased from Just Audio ! 😉
Right on! Good place to get HiFi! Haha
Have as 801 Yamaha and now ready to buy rn 600a for second system. I am very happy with yamaha. Build amazing receiver.
Great video again. I still have my Pf 800 turntable and my Ns1000m speakers
Very nice!
I got the 800A coming in tomorrow, pariing with SVS evolution bookshelfs
I saw a video of a 3000 intert- grated amp and he opened up the cover and inside looks like one of the Best Built , and engineered I even seen. They are unbelievable inside where it counts. I don’t know anyone building anything nicer inside. I would love to have one. Beautiful and tuff !!
AS 1200 paired with kef r300 here ,its a keeper system for me ,quite happy with the yamaha stuff
Thinking about buying an AS-1200. Do you hear enough bass on older albums, when using headphones through the AS-1200?
Is the r-n800 going to put out the same power as the a-s801 integrated amplifier?
They'RE both rated at 100wpc.
I know sometimes receivers power isn't the same as integrated power at same wattage specs
Yamaha RN 602 is the best! Entey level but never the sound and feel. You are not missing out. Im really glad that Yamaha gave me the four way conbectivity to enjoy music. I use CD, Vinyl, Bluetooth, Wi-FI (music cast playback). My music playback is covered. Looks clean because because its just one box. (John Darko would approve) Looks are important. Pair them with Yamaha NS 1000 M. You will understand the whole Yamaha philosophy behind their sound signature. Mid range forward, life like vocals, and just the right amount of bass that you can control. Because Yamaha has tone controls! They understand that not all rooms are the same (duh) and some recordings are just bad.
I still use my Yamaha A 500 Amplifier bought in 1984. Now it is in combination with my 25 years old Mackie mixer and 25 year Tannoy studio speakers. The amplifier has been on 24/7 except when I have moved.
My Yamaha AX-495 is a bit cheaper model but sounds great and provides good power I got it somewhere cheap from a farmers flea market I only cleaned it now I own it more than seven years it still works great
It’s going to rain savings! 😂😂😂 Good one guys! How do they compare to vintage gear like the Sansui 8080 and 9090? I’m asking cause you’ve heard both!
Great video, again!
Thanks Harold!
I’ve been using various Yamaha receivers for years. I’ve grown accustomed to their control environment so much that I find competing items more difficult to get comfortable with, I guess this is just human nature. I’m sort of an old/new school guy so I still like real speakers, not the in wall or sound bar stuff.
Right now my main unit is an RX-A2a which I really enjoy. I have an RX-A1040 in another location and my garage work area where I do hobbies uses a little RX-V485. They all do well. They all drive speakers I made. The to RX-A’s drive systems made of MTM mains with MT rear and separate powered subs I built. I only use 5 channels with subs, I don’t feel like devoting the space for 7 channels and such.
The Yamahas sound great, I listen to classic rock, Brazilian, some folk and jazz and other genres..
love my Yamahas
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Hi, recently bought used Dynaudio Focus 340 speakers for my home, currently paired with Yamaha RN803D. Speakers are great but still needs more power, can someone recommend better receiver. I am missing Chromcast feature on Yamaha....like Naim has. Thx
I have always like Yamaha products. I do live sound. For small acoustic bands and duos. Instead of my large rig I have. I use a 16 channel Yamaha mixer, and a pair of their BR-15 cabs matched to a Crown power amp. For the wineries and brew pubs they play. This system work perfectly.
I’m using the C-6 preamplifier with the M-45 power amplifier.
Exceptional build quality
I was a sales representative for Yamaha hi-fi in the mid 1970s. I still have the CR 2020 receiver and NS1000M speakers from that period and they both work perfectly. I'm a big fan of Yamaha products,
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
@@LennyFlorentinehello i have an Onkyo tx-7000 and the power button won't stay depressed which allows the unit to be powered on i can hold it and it will stay on but as soon as i let it go it goes off. How can i remedy this problem do you guys sell the part and how to intructions ? I know how to take the cover off lol i see the button but dont see how to remove it. Thanks for your help.
Those speakers are insane. I love them. Hahaha hard to get a pair these days.
Worked at a Yamaha dealer in the mid/late 70's. We loved putting the Yamaha receivers up against any of the other brands being sold at the time. They sold themselves. They were a bit more $ than the competition but that really didn't become much of a problem after the comparisons were over.
Thank you for the great review! I have an RN803 and an RN602 which I purchased only 2 years ago for around 600 and 450 USD respectively. They are fantastic receivers with great sound and functionality. I am not sure how these new receiver's stack up in terms of value as it would seem they are much more expensive with only marginal improvements. Is this possibly a way for Yamaha to increase their prices in a subtle way? The RN2000 is clearly in a completely different category to the others of course. Interested in your thoughts on this. I am not seeing anything which would tempt me to upgrade to the others.Thank you.
Dave, we have a great trade-in program if you are looking to get that 2000n!
Would like to see it in Brushed Champange & midrange tone controls.
Would you recommend the 1000A or 2000A with a pair of Lintons?
It's incredible how difficult it is to find specifications for these things, even on the Yamaha website those data are buried. And then when you find the data they are presented inconsistently.
Do you have this Yamaha yet? If yes please try connected some external DAC to USB port. I want to check that this port will be works with other USB device like DAC or Raspberry Pi 4 device. Thank you
If your going to show us under the hood. I want to see the output device arrangement on the heat sink and the location of the bias diodes in relation to the outputs. Yamaha has had a problem with crossover distortion because of bias in the past.
Yamaha always looks classy and clean! Thanks
Hello, what is the difference in sound for the RN1000 vs RN2000 ? And RN1000 vs RN800 ? Thank you
I have been happy with my Yamaha A-S701, especially in the Pure Direct Mode, too bad it doesn't have VU meters on the left panel for old time sake.
Always liked Yamaha audio equipment. Wish I could afford it
Even budget Yamaha sounds great! Loudness control is the best and sets them apart from competition
thank you for the review. i have the lintons and i am thinking of buyinh the R-N1000A. any opinions?
I have this it is awesome wanted the 2000 but $$$$ love my Linton’s
4 years with the R-N803D. I think the spec is extremely good and way above the new base level amp shown here
I have the 803D too, and it's a great amp. I'd love the 2000A though ;)
The blend between classic and modern design, looks amazing! They might be onto something here!
I think so too!
Perhaps a tidbit of interest. I am now using my 42-year-old Yamaha A-960 while the Yamaha s-801 I bought 10 months ago is in the shop for repair. Got banana plug adapters to hook up to my speakers and an HDMI splitter to hook up to my TV. Works just fine. But it does make me worry about getting a new Yamaha like this even though the 1000 is very attractive.
I have the 1000a, it’s a great piece of gear, the loudness control is such a great feature and one of the reasons I got it!
Does the loudness just cut the upper mids?
@@alphacapoI guess in a way it kinda does but not where it’s noticeable to the sound, it overall lowers the sound when you turn up the loudness and then if you turn it up it makes it sound more impactful at low volumes.
@Brett1334 I have an A s501 coming and I haven't really seen anyone demo the variable loudness. People) are saying use it as Main volume control but that's not right. I would think u use it to fine tune the volume and cut brightness all in one. But only for lower volume listening Is this correct?
@@alphacapoI think it all depends how much you change the volume of your music, I pretty much change it once and then leave it, it’s only meant to assist ideally for low level listening but I don’t think it matters, even when I turn it up most of the time I still leave the loudness dial turned on most of the time because it really adds an ‘oomph’ to the bass and in my room my speakers always need a bit of a boost.
@Brett1334 ok ...to me it takes the music and makes it less in your face if u use it sparingly loudness between 10 and 11 o'clock. Turn it up loud like say 9:30 or 10 o'clock volume on direct mode then dial back the loudness to 10 o'clock or so and switch between direct mode and tone controls and it kinda smooths out certain recordings making the mids less in th face. Also dial back the bass a bit to balance the sound back outIf your having conversation with people and want to be able to hear eachother clearly. Use this setting and the music will still sound great. It takes the bark out of the music. direct mode when u want music in your face and mute for I'm in a phone call or something important.
Wow, I musta been not paying attention, but looks like Yamaha stepped up their game on the build quality. Love the greenscreen too!
Thanks, we think it will add some fun to our reviews
I have a few pieces of Yamaha Hifi, A-S500 and A-S701 amplifiers, CD-S300, CD-N301 cd players and two T-D500 tuners and have stuck to stereo since my RX-V640RDS AV receiver became faulty after 17 years service. One amplifier and one tuner have had repairs under warranty but otherwise they have also been very reliable. I will be keeping all of my current Yamaha hifi gear as I find they all function very well, with to my ears, a balanced if ever so slightly dry sound compared to some of my other equipment. There are two areas that concern me though. Firstly, my current amplifiers have two fixed tape outputs but I notice that as you go higher up the new range, these fixed line outputs seem to be disappearing making their integration into my setups more difficult, feeding Tascam and Sony cd recorders and Nakamichi and Aiwa cassette decks, whilst also linking into another room where the volume is controlled separately in the other room which obviously can’t be done with only a pre out on the amplifier. Secondly, although Yamaha have their MusicCast system, they don’t quite seem to keep up to date with the requirements of third parties resulting in (not just Yamaha but some other manufacturers) falling out with vTuner meaning I now have to pay vTuner directly to get internet radio on my CD-N301 and now on even these new receivers Yamaha are due to give out a firmware update just so you can get BBC Sounds internet radio (I accept this is only really of interest to UK residents or overseas listeners who want the BBC on internet radio) but it seems a little worrying that known issues with changes to streaming methods weren’t incorporated at launch date. I realise that the UK isn’t the biggest market for Yamaha but they have served this market for many years. I also have two Yamaha guitars and a Yamaha THR guitar amp so you can’t say I don’t rate their stuff highly. Great video by the way, it’s good to see a group of single manufacturer products side by side so we can see what we’re getting for our money in different price categories.
Thank you for taking the time to join in the conversation!!
I own multiple Yamaha units. They perform great
I love my Yamaha AV receiver , it’s my 3rd one.
I think Yamaha is a good choice.
Do you have any inputs on: ARCAM SA20? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏……
My experience and knowledge goes back too 1975, i worked in the audio trade in the UK, the products then were premium quality and still are today. My AV system is Yamaha based , My 2 channel audio system is also Yamaha based why you may ask. Simple answer they represent fantastic value for money, outstanding build and engineering quality. Yamaha for me is a company that is totally focused on sound quality and hey they just look so good, they have to be just some of the very best kit you can buy. If a company can build premium quality musical instruments then you know they can build premium audio equipment short term expense long term investment and every penny well spent
Thanks for sharing!!
I love my vintage Yamaha stuff.
yamaha makes a good product. aside from the hdmi connection, i don't see much of a difference from the older R-N803. maybe the new stuff has integrated Qobuz into the mix, which is a definite plus.
When are the KLH model 7s hitting the stores????
I have the rs 202 killer sound great budget receivers
I bought the r-n2000a. It's a bargain. Toroidal transformer, huge capacitors from high end manufacturers and a reputable 192khz streamer. I don't need much more than that!
I think the r-n1000a will become the best bang for your buck solution in hifi. It's all you need to get the best from 90% of speakers.
I got ns3000 speakers which are an unsung hero of the Yamaha range. 90% of the ns5000 with less volume and surprising base clarity. I'm yet to hear better speakers than the ns5000 - incuding $100k+ speakers.
Yamaha takes natural sound very seriously! Every time I try and explain this setup, natural sounding is the best way I can explain it!
I haven't heard the new speakers, but they have much the same tech as the 5000 and 3000. I disgust they sound great. Yamaha trickled down tech from thier high end amps to the new amps, the r-n2000a had much the same tech as the AS1000 range. I suspect they've done the same with the new speakers.
Why can nobody pull off that vintage hifi look?! No long tuning dial, no fantastic lights, just 2 VU meters, with backlights.
well the realistic, real gr7 mk2 sounds great too, it sounds like tm7 but in iem form
both went eol for good, theyre indeed limited edition
AS3200 is stunning vintage looking
@@MegaM563 eh, lacks everything but VU meters, incandescent glow, and shiny aluminum.
Then check out the SV228 by Vincent Audio. It probably sounds better too, it's a hybrid amp with tubes in the pre amp section...
I have the Yamaha RX-V659 useing optical to the back of my led flat screen on the Xbox series x for Dolby digital
Anyone know the tuning fork logo is different between their music products and their powersports logo. Look at my avatar as the motorsports/powersports logo. The forks extend to the outer circle.
Yo Just audio it’s The Son Of GVC Cleaning Company I Like Your Radio and Bass bossted
Yamahas (as with Steinberg hardware) is amazing!
Would R-N800A with Wharfedale Evo4.2 be a sweet fit ?
Thank you for the presentation! I missed the information about materials used for knobs, front panels etc. I'm a plastic hater!!!😉
I have always liked Yamaha natural sound and their stuff has always lasted for years. I have never broke a Yamaha receiver just upgraded and kept the old one in another room. I’m getting a R-N800A and that should last me the rest of my life.
Was looking for an inexpensive, but decent integrated amp for my wife's system (keeps her away from mine!).
Bought the A-S501 Yamaha and she loves its simple operation and its pretty good sounding for the money.
Good choice!
Can i care Your wife ;-) ?
I use the CX-A5200 which sounds great but could use an update.
Yo Just audio it’s The Son Of GVC Cleaning Company I Like Your Radio and Bass boasted
Are will be decent match of KEF R3 Meta new speakers with Yamaha RN2000A?
Great match
Are the knobs made of aluminium or are they painted plastic?
Which Av receiver will be the best match for Elysian 2 ? currently, I am running Marantz Pm 8006 and not satisfied my taste?
Throw an external amp on it like the Parasound a23+ shopjustaudio.com/products/parasound-halo-a23-stereo-power-amplifier-new
Love yamaha…. For over 20 years i have on one surround receiver - the Yamaha rx-V3000Rds.
This brand just delivers quality. Next is gonna be the 1000 model on review here. I dont Think there is anything outthere that Can beat it👌
You or someone should do a video featuring some the other receivers. There were so many other brands out there and all i see on most videos are Pioneer, Marantz and Sansui. No one shows any love to McIntosh, Tandberg. Luxman, Dokorder, Concord, Nakamichi or Carver receivers. Back in the 70's some that were in the military would go to the PX and pick up a off brand receiver and have it shipped home or bring it home when they were on leave. Remember Vector Research? Nikko, or Soundcraftmen. I'd love to see more videos with these other brands from history.
I love anything Yamaha. What an awesome brand!
Personally, I don't need the features of the R-N series because I only listen to records, which is why the A-S1200 is my first choice.
But I have to say that the R-N2000 looks pretty damn good. The display integration at the bottom edge of the housing is a stroke of genius.
I’ve had no problems with the sound of Yamaha’s two channel receivers. But, I don’t know about their new network receivers.
😂🎉 Great "Commercial" Linny...the ONLY thing I see as something they missed is a USB connection on the back for some external DAC's with USB only connections. I assume by your enthusiasm that their Neutral clear clean sound remains the same as say my CA-800 from Back in the Day less the Class A Option.
Hi Sir,
This is Prashant from India Navi Mumbai (IST 12.30 noon)

Pls advice. Awaiting ans.
Have a nice day Sir.
hi guys, looking for your opinion. i have a Yamaha AS-801, currently paired with LS-50's and KEF 8"cube sub. how would the Linton's perform with this Amp compared to the KEFS. i also have a set of PSB 40 mk2's that i purchased back in the 90's. thoughts. also enjoy your vids
How do the Ls50's sound with the 801?
@@momocarmelo15 i like it, had them on a rotel amp previously and prefer the yamaha sound.
@@mikestewart2912 Thanks mate !
I wish they would make the USB port a standard feature on ALL their home receivers and integrated amps , I have so much music on flash drives it's a deal breaker for me from this point on.
The r-n1000a will be better than the nad c3050. ?
If they move the decimal points to the left by 1
I love Yamaha.
are they pure audio through the tone controls?
Pure bypasses the tone control
@@LennyFlorentine Not what I meant... if tone controls are in system is the signal path 100% analog, or is it diditized to accomplish tone control
This video reminds me of Bob’s RV Round-Up for some reason.
It's interesting to note that a motorcycle company branched out decades ago and started designing and building pro audio equipment as well as home stereo/surround/theatre audio equipment!, have put a lot of their speakers through the paces !, great quality, and thanks for your videos 😊
