WHAT'S THE BEST YAMAHA RECEIVER IN 2024?! R-N1000A R-N800A R-N600A R-N2000 Review

[@keithlewis1850]

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.

[@Dano-MX5]

….and I’m still rocking a Carver AV100…it has a loose tuner button…that’s it. I think I bought it in 1979🤷‍♂️

[@sergeykichuk2586]

Yes that indicator of Yamaha produced in 70s in Japan not Yamaha 2024 in indonesia or Malaysia 😂

[@userbosco]

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!!

[@KimmyLove6932]

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.

[@mark17840]

you are so right is one of the best out ther all my equipment is yamaha in auido the is very good

[@pervertedalchemist9944]

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.

[@mikeg2491]

Rectangle knobs are underrated, they might not be as attractive but you know where the volume dial is at instantly.

[@SteveSwithin]

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,

[@LennyFlorentine]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@slliks67]

​​@@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.

[@KimmyLove6932]

Those speakers are insane. I love them. Hahaha hard to get a pair these days.

[@obibaddad1991]

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.

[@DwightWickham]

@@LennyFlorentine Those Speakers are awesome sounding! I have a pair of NS9393 and they rock! I just had to replace a horn tweeter and that was a pain in the rear but they are back now!

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%

[@KeithHeinrich]

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.

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.

[@bobca2]

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.

[@DwightWickham]

I've been powering my music with Yamaha Integrated Amps for 50 years. They sound super awesome. I'm currently using a Yamaha AS801 and its amazing!

[@JR-ho5qm]

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

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

[@trademark1874]

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!!

[@Brett1334]

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!

[@alphacapo]

Does the loudness just cut the upper mids?

[@Brett1334]

@@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.

[@alphacapo]

@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?

[@Brett1334]

@@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.

[@alphacapo]

@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.

I was (repeat was) a Denon guy since the 80's. Within the last year, I purchased a pre-owned Yahama receiver (no HDMI crap). Since, I have sold my Denon stuff and purchased 2 other pre-owned, pre-HDMI Yamaha receivers. I really love the sound and simplicity of their operation. I have numerous brands of speakers such as JBL, AR, Energy, Dana, Klipsch, Cerwin Vega, Polk (my hobby, rehabbing vintage speakers) and they all sound good on the Yahama equipment. Thanks for your review.

what yamaha receiver did you get? I also am not interested in hdmi and bluetooth, since I am concerned it will distract from phono capability.

@@erichschader1079 I picked up an RX-V750 locally on the cheap. Facebook Marketplace is a good place to look. Look for stuff pre-HDMI or without HDMI. Yamaha is very musical, similar to the Marantz sound.

[@stephenrodgers7485]

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

[@LennyFlorentine]

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@bigmacfullerton7870]

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.

[@c0uchsl0uch]

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

[@MarkColden]

I bought a top line Yamaha cassette deck years ago. It had killer features and made great-souding tapes for a few years, then one channel quit working. A few years after that, I bought a Yamaha HD recorder, which recorded to a hard drive and could burn CD's. It was expensive and I had to learn how to use it. It worked great for a few years and then quit. I took it to a factory service center, and after working on it they told me the faulty part(s) were no longer available. I own Yamaha drums (2 kits) and love them. I have played a Yamaha saxophone, and it was really nice (better than the one I had). I owned a 1982 Yamaha IT175, and it kicked ass. But, I will never buy another Yamaha electronic item - they don't last. By comparison, my Alesis HD recorder is much easier to operate, and has lasted 4X as long (so far, it's still working) as long as the Yamaha did. I still miss that killer cassette deck.

[@addonisryan]

I love Yamaha My first high-quality receiver was a Yamaha Rxv1000. Yamaha are the only manufacturer which is involved in all aspects of music from the instruments all the way to studio and live sound production as well as the reproduction of it in the home.

[@jongibson2205]

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.

[@gregmarcus3064]

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.

[@pierreg8562]

However I was advised the Heresy is a brighter speakers ie horn mids & do need a warmer and better amp to run it. They have suggested suggested to pair them with a warmer amp ie Arcam25, Hegel H95.

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. Saxe

[@JohnWilliams-e4v]

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.

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.

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 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.

If that thumbnail’s anything o go by, you really don’t like that amp. Did you drop it on your foot?

When are the KLH model 7s hitting the stores????

[@sidhartha4397]

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.

[@michaellongobardi7725]

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.

[@andreashjellestad2595]

I have the R-N803D and think it is very good. I like to opgade to the R-N2000A, it is a big jump up i price. So my question is, is it that much better in power and sound performance? My speaker's is 87db. I know it is much better in building quality and parts.

[@LennyFlorentine]

Completely different build. Better for sure

[@andreashjellestad2595]

@@LennyFlorentine i know, superb quality. But It is rated at 90w and power consumption 250w witch is kinda low. How does it feel playing on bigger speakers in det JBL l100 range? My rn803d I rated the same, actually it has more output power. I'm playing on Technics sb10 It be a no brainer if it had a little more power, and to sub outputs.

[@davebarlow8976]

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.

[@LennyFlorentine]

Dave, we have a great trade-in program if you are looking to get that 2000n!

[@jmfloyd23]

I’m using the C-6 preamplifier with the M-45 power amplifier.

[@techsamurai11]

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!

[@twisted2291]

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.

[@El_white_horse]

The r-n1000a will be better than the nad c3050. ?

[@mr.george7687]

Would like to see it in Brushed Champange & midrange tone controls.

[@KCsabi]

Thank you for the presentation! I missed the information about materials used for knobs, front panels etc. I'm a plastic hater!!!😉

How do they not include an HDMI port on that massive box?

[@sentadoensilla]

Great video, again!

[@LennyFlorentine]

Thanks Harold!

[@jameswebb9738]

I love my Yamaha AV receiver , it’s my 3rd one. I think Yamaha is a good choice.

[@markeaton24thethings]

Great sound but direct coupled circuits. One part shorts, there goes twenty more at the same time.

[@b.powell3480]

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 😊

[@b.powell3480]

@hmmmmmm69 I think that the tuning forks symbolized the perfect tuning of the company, I could be wrong, but I do remember seeing Yamaha motorcycles in a showroom as a kid when my dad was looking for a motorcycle. I think Yamaha then devirsefied into audio equipment in the late 70's, early 80's

[@LennyFlorentine]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@gloomforged]

Yamaha started as a piano and organ maker in the 1800's

[@musicman8270]

The motorcycle stuff came later. They started by making musical instruments

[@robertspringer9477]

Yeah they made pianos then one day with left over piano parts they made a motorcycle but the olden kind wear you had to mix the gas and oil yerself but thet didnt to good so they just make stereos now

[@caet49]

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👌

Yamaha always looks classy and clean! Thanks
