Yamaha R-N2000A Network Hi-Fi Receiver Review!

[@Einargard]

I bought this amplifier 3 months ago and i'm still blown away. It's paired with Martin Logan Motion XT F100 and it's making them sing like there is no tomorrow. This amplifier replaced a Marantz PM8004 and let me tell you, the difference is huge. The sound is much clearer, separation is incredible. One lastr important thing to say, there ia a long burning required to reach his full potential.. I would say somewhere between 100 to 150 hours. The sound becomes more controlled.

[@dnns971]

your love and appreciation for this receiver is contagious

[@jamesjames5715]

he gets paid u fool

[@orl2222]

Yamaha has always made great recievers. I'v had NAD's, Sony's, Onkyo's that all blew up. Right night now I have the cheapest Yamaha stereo recieiver, a RS202. Been using it for over 4 years, always on with klipsch book shelf speakers and a 10" sub wired the old old way. I don't even think of upgrading. Sounds fantastic, get a good DAC/Streamer and your set.

[@mikecampbell5856]

When my beloved HK-3370 died I subbed in my Yamaha R-S300 receiver. I use a Velodyne sub, with speaker level ins/outs and a pair of Klipsch towers. I have a Wiim Mini and a Schiit Modi 3+ and I love my system very much!

[@David_vdk]

why some people hate it i dont know, how the AS serie looks is allready a statement

[@davidwald2938]

​@@David_vdkmy AS2200 needed a power supply rebuild after 4 yrs. of moderate use to the tune of $700. My vintage Marantz separates and Vincent hybrid svk mkii sound better to me but I like bass. Yamaha is very clear on top but lacks bottom end compared to other amps and I believe that's why some don't like it. I do, but its not my favorite although it certainly looks good and appears to be built like a tank.

[@JR-ho5qm]

Fantastic review! Some people seem to struggle with the huge price difference between the 1000 and 2000. But the 2000 really is on another level both in build and sound quality. The 2000 may not be for everyone. But those who know, know! 🔈🤙🏻

[@stephenmcgauley]

I was going to say I was super interested in this until I saw the price. And Yamaha needs more than YPAO for room correction. I have 2 Yamahas, and they are work horses but in 2025 YPAO is so out dated it’s a deal breaker.

[@DonnieDorko477]

It’s a genuine joke how bad YPAO is.

[@Artcore103]

When he compares it favorably, in the sense of power output and current delivery for low impedance speakers, comparing it to his amp with the hypex module, you have to remember hypex has many modules and that amp has a relatively weak one as far as their lineup is concerned. You can easily get double or triple or more power, easily more in fact, with much cheaper hypex based amps. Difference is features. You can get 350-380wpc into 8 and roughly 700w into 4 ohms from hypex for 700-1000 dollars, if you're JUST looking for a TOP TIER ULTRA HIGH FIDELITY power amp. It does not get better than hypex at any price. Between hypex and purifi options, maybe some gan-fet stuff, none of these other products even come CLOSE to comparing as amplifiers - only in FEATURES if you're into that. But you can get something cheaper that does what you want and has pre outs, and then get a real power amp. Buckeye, Apollon, VTV, sure Nord i guess (last place for high power hypex solutions)... Check out the nc500/nc500x module, mc254, Nilai, mono blocks... I mean a mono block set of bridged nc500x is like 1 or 2 kilowatts per channel depending. Purifi eigentakt version 2, also high power.

[@Channel-io1di]

​@@Artcore103 but the yamaha is beautiful lol

[@GarryHunt-ri9ys]

I purchased this receiver one month ago. I use it to run the front left and right speakers in conjunction with my Yamaha RXA6A 5.1 system. I have QAcoustics 5050 front, 5090 centre, 5040 rear and a Rel subwoofer. My living room is packed with soft furnishings for sound absorption. There’s no necessity for that room treatment nonsense. The quality of the audio delivered is quite exceptional at any level of volume. I find that when periodically alternating YPAO on and off, both presentations are equally engaging. Neither is it completely necessary to religiously use the subwoofer. The RN 2000A and A6A are sufficiently powerful. The RN 2000 more so. Yamaha produce great audio equipment undoubtedly. The MusicCast App unfortunately, still looks and works like it was made as a project in an under seven’s after school class. No disrespect or causal offence to under age seven audio app designers intended.

[@s.daniel9224]

I think q acoustics makes incredible speakers for the cost. I also find myself going back to q acoustics after I rotate new speakers…often much more expensive.

[@TrueAudio]

another enjoyable review, ty. i've had this R-N2000A receiver for just over a year now and only been using the HDMI ARC (TV) thus far (and it's been just wonderful) - guess i'd better at least try out that phono section eh thanks again!

[@gdwlaw5549]

I am so happy with my 4 year old R-N 803d! I have really easy to drive loudspeakers. Musicast works quite well too. I don't know if you need to spend more? I have a second system with a REGA amp which is better for dynamics and has much less power! Yamaha is so versatile, reliable and it looks great too! I love the styling

How does it compare to the Yamaha A-A1200 and A-S2200 it terms of sound quality? I’d like to hear back to back comparisons with other amps at same price point. Even live demoing Does it have Pre In?

[@charlesking678]

I've had them side by side with the as2200 which is very similar to the 3200. The entire as line has an elevated midrange that I didn't realize which can come across as bright. The rn2000a had a more natural live like sound. The as2200's amp section feels more powerful. I preferred the rn2000a. Plus it's a more modern piece and can be an endgame product for 95% of people. Hope this helps.

[@billd9667]

No pre-in.

[@BobbyBass-x6i]

Thanks for the review. Yamaha makes great equipment. I have 3 different AVRs from the last 40 years and a 150 HP engine on my boat. All 4 are still running well. Love the meters. Which it had more power at this price point but it sounds like it has the power when needed which is great to hear.

[@johnreardon4944]

Great review! I live in Japan and have a Yamaha B-2 amp with Onkyo Monitor 2000 speakers. Looking for a C-1 preamp right now. VFET heaven! Your review got me curious about modern Yamaha 2-channel offerings. I'm off to the Audioholics web page to read the full review!

Beautiful. I have a Yamaha RN 803d with Polk r700 speakers and Bowers and Wilkins asw610xp subwoofer . I've spent a lot of time with Ypao and adjusting and subwoofer crossover ect . Always go back to pure direct. Just sounds to me tighter and punchy and less harsh on the ears. The vocals and some guitar with Ypao and equalizer were a little harsh. Anyway. My thoughts and experience. One day may give the 2000 a go.

[@McBeakerson]

I've had nothing but Yamaha receivers from 1983 up until the discontinued RS500 in 2014. Last year I bought an AS801 integrated amp and that definitely was not a regret. I've been using Apple Ipods as the primary source for over 20 years now. They are old tech but they sound great and they seem to function far longer than new tech. 1 of my 6th gen 160gb has delivered 15 years(over 5000 hours) and the original battery is still at 94% health. I've got 2 more just in case. I suppose the Nippon Gakki years were Yamaha's best but I've seen no reliability issues in their newer stuff and feel confident they will last decades.

[@mrwilliamwonder]

You sure know how to get full value out of your stuff!

[@McBeakerson]

​@@mrwilliamwonder , people don't realize that Apple and Yamaha worked very closely together from 2007-2020. They figured out how to bypass the internal battery to make the Ipod reliable and also make use of it's +3 db gain and internal EQ.

[@juqual78]

I had a AS301 and 801 and wasn't impressed at all. Bass was extremely muddy. Best decision I ever made was to send them back :) Glad you are enjoying it however! congrats.

[@billd9667]

I’ve had the R-N2000a for some time now and I feel little desire to upgrade it, BUT the lack of track scrubbing and gapless playback really ticks me off. BluOS and almost all other competitors offer these - even Wiim. It’s the fault of the now ancient MusicCast app. A minor correction for Gene - you can’t connect a USB drive to the USB input. It’s strictly computers for peripherals that have USB output. Even if you could use a USB drive, you would need a USB A female-to-USB B adapter. I’ve never seen such a beast.

[@Audioholics]

Weird. I've plugged my USB HDD to my Oppo and was able to stream files to it. I assumed the same could be done on the Yamaha too but I will check.

[@Porchewaitombi]

After send it to Shane lee please😅😅👍😊

[@billd9667]

@ I was wondering if it needed an intermediary device to access the storage. I have a Node X which supports USB storage. However, I don’t think you can connect storage directly to the USB-B port. Edit: I might add that if I do add a USB storage device to the Node, that prevents me from connecting the Node to the USB-B port on the receiver as the Node has only one USB A port. This is academic for me at any rate since I have network storage. In the gapless/scrubbing thing, I’ve contacted Yamaha about it and get the impression that they care not. So sad. If WiiM can do it, surely a huge company with resources that Yamaha has could swing it. They could contract to have have WiiM or Bluesound fix it if they cared to

[@guppyduppy1897]

I have the A-S1100 + NP-S303 for years now, this receiver frankly combines the two in one box. Build quality on this Yamaha line is superb. I also have an Accuphase E-280, the Yamaha is on that level of buid quiality.

[@danracariu4833]

How would you compare Yamaha and Accuphase in terms of sound quality? Is there a much difference? Thank you

[@michaelp7185]

I have been looking at the Advance Paris A12 for about the same money. It has more power, functions and has balanced connections. What do you think? Thank you.

[@SwirlingDragonMist]

I like the treatment you brought to this review, touching on these finer elements is a nice format, the YPAO bits especially, and the DAC comparison with the Denon. Brand to brand comparisons of room correction has an appeal to me. Would be fun to see YPAO and MCACC and Audessy evolve and go toe to toe in the future, They can’t just let Dirac own the market uncontested. Also as the guy who will be using the radio tuner, I appreciate the continued functionality. Even though I can get a better feed online from those exact same radio stations, the effortless ease of use is unrivaled. Something television surfing lost with the dtv transition. Kids have no idea what it’s like to flip through channels. They always have to move through menus to start up content. As much as video autoplay is an addictive mind rot, auto start and instant on is a huge musical feature. I’m guessing I’m not alone in staring at menus without watching anything. My stereo system with FM tuner basically has a music switch, like a light switch, but it instantly fills the room with musical ambiance instead of light. My local classical station is also add-free as a non-profit sponsored by a university, so that helps allot.

[@Mike-jm5wt]

I wish these beautiful 2 channel integrateds would have a love child with a multi channel receiver so I could have VU meters and surround sound. All they need to do is add the decoding capability and multi channel pre outs for the additional channels.

[@SwirlingDragonMist]

@@Mike-jm5wt I agree more visualizers would be cool with multi channel.

[@Mike-jm5wt]

@SwirlingDragonMist since they added e-arc I don't see why they can't decode 5.1/7.1/atmos and give us preouts for external amplification, it would bridge the gap between 2 channel hi-fi and home theater, I'd put the Yamaha front and center to appreciate how it looks and tuck my external multichannel amp out of sight.

[@SwirlingDragonMist]

@ that’s a clever idea, heres a neat one too; multi channel formats seem to grow 2channels at a time, I like the idea of getting a new format and enough channels to top off the set. With every upgrade also being a perfectly viable self contained 2 channel system. Even the 3 channel LCR amp can convert to a 2 channel with sub channel. Just a wacky idea. Something mirror universe Emotiva might do

[@UltrafineDeluxe]

Really love the look of it.

[@zachansen8293]

It's crazy that it requires paying this much money to get basic features like arc and usb audio in and bass management. These should be table stakes for an integrated amp with a digital section. If I'm paying more it should be for the hard parts - amplification, analog volume, etc. That's what's expensive. Not digital features. That's why so much integrated amp stuff just doesn't make any sense. You're getting ripped off because they artificially withhold these features on lower budget stuff - but you can just get a $200 dac and plug it in and get the same for much much less. And then you can upgrade the digital aspects, which are what have a short relevancy life.

[@crumudgeon4102]

@@Audioholics thanks, pure direct bypasses the tone controls correct?

[@billd9667]

Yes, Pure Direct bypasses the tone circuit, which includes the loudness control. It’s hard to get a definitive answer, but I believe that the amp is analog front to back even with Pure Direct off as long as you’re not using YPAO. Bass management is unavailable without YPAO. I just set my sub’s crossover to a point that matches the F1 (-3dB point) of my speakers.

[@buckaroobonsi555]

If the bass sounded better as in deeper, faster, more controlled, cleaner that would be because those other amps do not have enough transformer for the output giving them more voltage sag and lower dampening factor. Damping Factor=Well Controlled Subwoofers!

Songs like Rock and Roll by The Velvet Underground take me right back. I’ve always loved the idea of “Pirate” radio, like how the British Invasion reminded Americans of their own music.

In 2025 I’d say this isn’t the cats meow that it’s being portrayed as. Yamaha would have done us and themselves a favor by making it closer to their AS3200 integrated amp except give it two (2) subwoofer outputs and somewhere around 150 watts at 8ohms which doubles to 300 watts at 4 ohms. Give it the larger meters like the AS3200 which were a big sales point and price it more than their AS3200. They would have basically cemented their name in the high priced amplifiers market and offered a great competitive design against other amps already on the market. Their own M5000 model is close to what I’m thinking of except with digital DAC and twice the power. Maybe they didn’t do it because everyone would buy it and nobody would buy the C5000 and M5000 anymore.

@ interesting, glad I’m not alone. It’s not a big issue for me because when I start a listening session I adjust the lower frequency response based on time of day or media. (The system is in a multi family building and I unfortunately need to cut the bass for neighbors sometimes) I just set it and forget it

[@aalexstan]

@ I thought that's how it works but honestly it doesn't seem that bothersome to me, the cut off is very short and it happens only at the very first movement of the mechanical knob

Please go away troll.

[@brahand]

@ I am no ”troll”. I am a very living 70 year old man living in Sweden who hates you tube-videos that could have been 10 minutes long but now are 30-40-50 minutes long because the man (very seldom a girl) loves to hear his own voice.
