Hi Andrew - if I put my Onkyo RZ-50 in pure direct mode, would I not have a ton of more functionality for $1200.00 vs an $1800.00 strictly 2.1 amp with nowhere near the functionality? What are yours and Kristie's thoughts?

@billd9667

@@Audiomainia2310 Well, if you require 5.1 Home Theater, the Onkyo makes more sense. I don't know about "more functionality". For stereo music alone, the 1000A does as much and with better (and more stable) power and fidelity than the Onkyo. The Onkyo cannot handle 4 ohm loads and lower with grace. This more or less comes down to the use of a very beefy 2 channel class A/B power supply vs. a switching class D that is asked to handle 11(!) channels.

This is one of the few channels that takes time to thoroughly review a product. Thanks for the work you two put in.

Thank you, Andrew and Kristi for this timely video! I really wish more stereo receivers or integrated amps would come with HDMI given the convenience for movies & TV. At the end of the day, I just want a nicely constructed piece of HiFi equipment that is pleasant to look at and listen to, while being able to pull double duty for our entertainment room.

I bought it along with Klipsch RP 8000 II. Couldn’t be happier. Your reviews were really helpful.

I bought the R-N2000A based on your previous review and love it. It is hooked up with B&W 705 s2 and SVS 3000 sub. Yup it’s a sweet sound. But now Kef R11 are in the future.

I have my Yamaha n2000a used as preamp to the Yamaha 3200 and I love it! More than my Luxman! Can't go wrong with Yamaha higher tier amps.

Except for the 7200, it is difficult to remember previous integrated reviews. Thanks for including some.

In my case, using Dali Zensor 7 and REL T/7i, ypao did an amazing job. I feel like I have different speakers now. Amazing mid-range, which I didn't have earlier.

HDMI is want I want!!! Definitely interested in this amp! Love the aesthetics

I have an R-N303D and its a great box. One box solutions keep on improving.

Good afternoon friends! I watched a few hours ago, but had to run out right after. This was a fun video, and very well done. Is it odd that the biggest draw to me is the variable loudness setting? I always enjoyed the option on my vintage receivers that I started out with. I hope you have a great one!

Great review! Would the sound quality be better using spotify trough the built in music streamer versus spotify on a smart tv trough eArc?

Also for Dirac, it was a real gift from the universe (and the Swedish DSP algorithm wizards). As a person who's room has 2 huge almost +10dB peaks between 40 and 60hz (with a +5db "dip" between them) and then several +3-5dB peaks (and small dips) in the 100-200hz area, the implementation of Dirac took my 2.1 systems (connected to my TV with an HDMI 😉) sound to a whole different level. Even my mother would notice such a vast difference.

Thank you for this super great review. This channel is my favourite channel to go to and listen to. What I am now interested in, is how it will compare sound wise to the new Marantz stereo 70S. As I am in the market for a new receiver this Christmas and I think it will come to these two.

I definitely need HDMI. I want to build a stereo system that can be used for 2-channel music as well as TV. I originally was thinking of getting the 7000A, but after seeing this review, the Yamaha is now my top pick for an integrated amplifier for this use case

Every time I have used the Yamaha proprietary correction, it never sounds better than when I manually tune it when understanding all in every single setting of the equipment running through it in a way of trial and air to the ear plus previous knowledge of things, 100% of the time that always works out better and I wonder how many people just plug in the mic run its test and assume it's going to be better than anything that you can do? I'm here to tell you that is an incorrect assumption in a very large way! Appreciate the video as always keep up the great work!

Thank you for the great review! With so many options available, it's becoming pretty difficult to choose. How does the Yamaha R-N1000 compare to the Marantz 40n?

Hi thanks for a great review. If you had to choose between the yamaha rn1000a vs the as801 with a good streamer like the eversolo. What would be your choice?

hdmi input is fantastic to cover one scenario: optical disk player, with output hdmi-audio only; as there is one (reavon) that covers almost all scenarios, from CD/SACD, DVD-Audio, and maybe Bluray-Audio, it is even good to handle movie sound; and the power to move loudspeakers of 8ohms at 110-220w is an eye opener.

Hdmi is great addition. Thanks for your review.

Long time Yamaha owner here. Up until recently I had a WXA-50 and a RX-V481 active in different parts of my home. Although these two products were released close in time to each other, there seemed to be some sort of conflict present in how they connected to my router via wifi. The WXA-50 was fine, and never dropped out or failed to find and connect to my router. The RX-V481 was a different story. A couple of times a week I would have to unplug it from power and plug it back in to get the network connection working. Nothing else I tried fixed the problem. Fast forward to now, I have moved the WXA-50 on and since doing so, the 481 has not had an issue with its wifi connection. Of course YMMV but it would seem there was some conflict with the two MusicCast devices connecting to my router via wifi.

Thanks for excellent review. I love the combination of simplicity of design but with beasty top quality components inside like the NADs in the good old days 👍🏻 Yamaha seems to be back on track☺️

Thx. I’ve been tempted to pick this up…

If you happen to hook the B&W bookshelves up, I would love to hear how it does. I have an older yamaha integrated from this line (303) and like it except that it struggles to drive my B&W bookshelves (CM5) as they are quite power hungry. Has Yamaha updated the musicast experience from 5 years ago? I find that it is a bit cumbersome compared to other streamers that I have played with. I do LOVE that it is part of the amp though. Thanks as always for a great review!

Hey, thanks very helpful. That’s what I have is a Yamaha so I’m very happy with it. Thanks again.

This amp plus Decware OB’s seems intriguing for a less expensive set up.

For me personally Yamaha has always made professional products not just in their hi-fi equipment but generally anything they touch. I think HDMI port is a handy thing to have, plug in your television or even just putting a HDMI Blu-ray player to your system is very handy feature. I think this product in the 2 channel market will be very popular, Yamaha could be considered to be a little bit cautious in the way they present their products. But in saying that you know you are going to get a reliable and enjoyable product for the money you spend. Andrew, I’d love to see you do a video on centre channels speakers, I think this is a topic that homes hi-fi thesis would love to have your feedback!

Thanks for the review as always! interestingly the Audiolab 9000A can be had for the same price as the N1000a here in Sweden. The 7000a is almost 40% less expensive.... and the 6000a is over 60% cheaper But the Yamaha seems to be a good overall package but listening to what you are saying it feel like the Audiolab signature is the one for me at least

Your KZread is absolutely awesome and educational. Question: do you ever test jazz such as songs on KZread called greatest collection Whiskey Blues relaxing Whiskey Blues music?

@Andrew Robinson If you could choose between a used Marantz model n40 for around the same price as a new Yamaha R-N1000a which one would you pick? Another great review by the way. This is in my opinion the best channel around hifi. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Belgium

Yamaha is great right down to their simplest A/V receiver for which I have been using the Yamaha RX - V375 for at least 9 years ~ It has all the HDMI I need to connect everything I own Apple TV etc and although it might not be up to date to Andrew & Kristy standards I'll wait for this sucker to blow up before buying a newer AV receiver ~ I'm more of an audiophile than a videophile my audio room is more up to date than my video living room ~ If you are looking for value I can stand behind my own purchase of a Yamaha products ~ This Amp looks great although limited in it's execution ~ Another great review by A&K ~ Keep up the good work guys ~

After upgrading to an audiphoæe product with HDMI eArc Everyone on the household enjoy the sound and usability of the primary sound system. HDMI eARHc is such a gamechanger. Add tidal/Spotify connect and Chromecast you are in heaven.

Im old school but when my old Marantz amp died I bought a new Yamaha AVR to connect to my new TV. I started using Tidal on my Google TV and connecting it to my AVR eARC using straight mode is fantastic. I added a small sub to my Kef towers and now I only listen to music in straight mode 2.1 on Tidal through my TV. Thanks for your inspiration.

I can plat both the 2.1 and the soundbar at the same time and it sounds fantastic for my needs in movies and when i listen to music i just go back to 2.1. I may buy tower speakers at some point, but im not sure if i really need them anymore!

Amazing product! Yamaha made an integrated that I had to build with separates.

Impressive product... I was surprised by Kristi's impression. The Yamaha N1000A has a lot in common with the A-S801 integrated amp. Kristi was not as enthusiastic with that. The N1000A does offer pre-amp outputs and apparently discards the subwoofer filter. Those are improvements! YPAO and HDMI offer benefits, but not for this two channel guy. FWIW we use a basic A-S301 that replaced Adcom separates when the GTP-500 refused to be repaired. The A-S301 cost less than the attempted repairs for the Adcom. Lesson learned...

Hi, thanks for the review: would you upgrade from yamaha rn803 to rn1000? Thanks.

was there a big difference when you tried the cambridge audio streamer, and has music cast finally added tidal connect? i used to own the rn803D but changed for cambridge audio cxa 81 with the magic dag200 and a wimmpro. but i still like the yamaha sound and the 2000n is out of reach for me. so thanks for this great review i think yours is the first, love what you guys are doing

Hi guys, thanks for the great job! I am actually liking this Yamaha a lot, but... do you think it would be a good match with the B&W 703? It's almost a tier between this one and the Technics 700, and I am leaning towards the Yamaha because of the HDMI...

I'm taking long look at the Yamaha amps (receivers) This 1000 is a good value. The "2000" looks cool but has high price. Then the purer "1200" & "2200" Integrated Amps -- also of interest. Right now I'm between this "1000" level (but no meters, sadly) but size easier to deal with - as well as price. Or maybe stretching to get a "2200" at the best price I can find (even if I have to wait for a "special") I have a Yamaha last 22 years -- the RX-777. It's a good Receiver, and better once broken-in for a year or two. (I expect these newer Yamahas will also benefit by a good long break-in period.)

Andrew I took your advice 0n the rotel ra 1592mk and am very happy with it I wonder could you please do a review on the advance Paris a12 it would be great to hear your thoughts about it

Hi, I'm curious about your thoughts of the new Arcam Radia series. Especially the A15. I'm thinking about that one or the older Musical Fidelity M3si.

Muchas gracias por el análisis yo pensaba comprar el amplificador A701 pero desconocía este producto ...creo que con esto tengo todo

Thanks! I forgot to mention the subwoofer output is a an excellent addition. Most speakers you review that interest me would benefit from a sub woofer i.e. Q Acoustics 5040 and such. If I want a truer surround sound I think a sound bar like the Samsung Q 990 C will be a good compliment.

I’m a bit late today, but I’ve got thoughts lol: 1) HDMI today is a must in any integrated amplifier for me. Those who think you need everything separately, then go separates? Integrated should be fully capable of doing whatever you want from it aside from making you dinner. HDMI is a must. 2) I think audiophiles (not all of them, but a lot of them) have been holding this hobby hostage, with their stubbornness and their inability to accept progress and change. That needs to stop and we’re seeing more and more brands realizing it and starting to go out there like this Yamaha. 3) I’m absolutely going to choose a cheaper integrated from the same brand if it’s performance sonically is 90% of the top dog yet the price is 50-60%. That’s awesome, we need to see more products like this and especially with tons of features built in. 4) Awesome review as usual! I think this piece of gear is an absolute steal. Especially when you compare it to Rotel S14 and that price… Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday!

I think you're starting to see a real choice being offered to the consumer now. Like the Yamaha, the new Marantz Stereo 70s (2.1) vs the Marantz Cinema 70s (7.1) - single HMDI and high(er) output vs multiple HDMI with more speaker outputs (with a sacrifice in power and ultimate audio quality?)|| Each group can now optimise for their own preferences. It would be interesting to understand the compromises / advantages of these choices in more detail.

Would you say these would make a good match for KLH Model 3s/5s like the RN2000 did? I work regularly with KLH speakers here in Australia, and the 2000 is still my favourite pair - After working a hifi show on the weekend, though, driving it with some SPL electronics which are super low distortion, I'm coming around to the more neutral electronics. Also, KEFs always shock me with what they run best with. My experience with the NAD C368 with LS50 metas proved that their pairings so often come out of left field.

Happy Sunday and thanks for this review. This unit's built-in streaming and room correction presents a great value. That in itself is worth taking a look. The band seals the deal. Question: How would you describe the difference in sound when comparing the Emotiva (i.e., BasX/PT2) vs this unit?

@robinsonbrand

The BasX products, especially the amps, are a touch (emphasis on a touch) more weight or the sensation of lower midrange or mid-bass weight.

Yamaha has always been my go to recievers. Don't laugh, but my current Yamaha is a RS 202, with blutooth and RCA inputs. I have a older node 2i as a streamer, and some Klipsch R51M speakers. Running a optical out from the TV to the node, and both my mac mini M1 ( with a Apple headphone dongle as my dac), and my PC using RCA's. I still listen to CD's with a NAD 542. I have a Monoprice flat 10" sub. This all old school hookups, the sub with speaker level hookup as well. The set up sounds fantastic! I really don't see a need to upgrade. The one thing about Yamaha recievers, amps is that they just last. Living in socal without A/C I don't worry aboot them overheating etc. as far as sorround I left that station years ago. I just enjoy a simple 2.1 setup.

I have been looking for a reciever for 3yrs. Finally everything i wanted and nothing i dont. BI.love this amp. Now i need your help what are a great speaker for this 2500 a pair. Help needed

Andrew, any chance you’ll review subs soon? I would like your opinion on jl audio d110 please 🙏

So I have been watching your channel along with others for a while now. The plan - scrapping pretty much everything I have and starting over. This field is extremely daunting. Like you said...if you can plug in yulour TV.. Why not!! What advice do you give an old gear head like me? I'm still rocking the Puoneer Elite SC-05 with my Definitive Texlchnology Tower with subwoofers built in. I love my movies, my vinyl, and yes my CD's! What advice do you give someone like ne where all the big audio stores are all gone..

Thank you for the great review Andrew! But here is a question: Is there any reason I should prefer RN1000A over the RX-A4A (it's an AV, but I'm just thinking of stereo configuration)? The first one retails for $1,799 and the latter for $1,299 (there is a discount currently, but even without it it's still cheaper), while it has output power of 110 watts per channel and Also gives you the flexibility to build your surround system if you wish. Are there any fundamental differences in these Amps that make the RN1000A better for music? I am no hi-fi specialist, so probably will not notice minor differences in the sound. And another question: did you have a chance to run PolkAudio R700 on one of these receivers/amps? How did that go? :) (was there enough power?)

Thank you for this and many other detailed reviews. I am wondering how would r-n100a pair with Q Acoustic 5040? Would appreciate anyone’s feedback.

Great review. Yamaha ..love their amps❤

I love yamaha. I have two Japanese made Yamaha guitars and love them. This will be my next amp.

Thanks! HDMI rules in so many ways.

I have this product, I upgraded from a 6000a and features on this are just way better, being able to level match the DB on the inputs is SO handy! the loudness control is something I use a lot also and I feel that more companies should add to their products, the only thing I was slightly upset with was the phono preamp compared with the previous audiolab, however this I intend on upgrading regardless so nothing I’m losing sleep over! Interested to see your comparison with the technics, as that was my other option but the wattage was something I was really worried about and also I thought it might be more ‘clinical’ sounding, very happy with my Yamaha!

This is interesting. My Onkyo TX-SR313 is long in the tooth and since going 2.1 for home theatre I've been looking for a 2.1 reciever I can use with my TV (and not break the bank). I think this is a good option for me, kinda bothers me to get a 7.1 or 9.1 AV reciever when only using 2.1. Thank you for pointing this one out.

I am really torn between keeping the Audiolab 7000A or trying this Yamaha! Any thoughts from folks with experience? Paired with the Dali Opticon 6MK2's hybrid tweeter, high frequencies sound ever so clinical and digitally compared to what might be described as "Musical", smoother driven by Musical Fidelity (M5si) or Parasound (A23) I have tried. That said, I am blown away by the bass control and mid bass definition from the Audiolab and they have opened by eyes to a sound signature I adore! And so the search continues, fun! Any thoughts on how this Yammy might compare. I am also drawn to the idea of consolidating the streamer into this unit as well, and say good by to this amazing yet clunky Rose RS250 box.

Any thoughts on the RX-A4A vs the R-N1000A? In the past, I've always gone with multi-channel receivers due to their versatility, but I find this to be an intriguing comparison, given the pretty similar specs for two channels driven. This review, particularly Kristi's take, is what has me seriously considering getting an R-N1000A.

Andrew, Kristi, good review and very high production quality. I own a Nuprime IDA8 integrated. Nuprime reviews are hard to find but all their amps, dacs, etc. I have listened to eo far were amazing. Any chance you consider the brand in the future? Keep up your hard work, it is greatly appreciated.

Any ideas on how this compares to the likes of CA Evo 75 and or Evo 150? Primarily for audio quality as features are similar.

Big question I have - how does this compare to the similarly priced RX A4A? In the past you were a big proponent of AVRs for stereo/music with room correction being a main factor, and now there is the hybrid solution within the same price range (rn2000a being a lot more expensive). So should those of us considering 2(.1) setups for streaming and television who’d like some room correction still consider the RXA4A, or go straight for the rn1000a? And would that, in terms of quality (not just “waste of input space”), be a better choice? Or do AVRs, besides expandability, still have aces up their sleeves?

Admittedly diehard audiophile here, I think having HDMI integration is fantastic! Wish I had it. All for it, 100%.

This looks like something I would replace it with for sure. All the same functionality but add the HDMI connection. The HDMI connection is hard to live without in a modern living room.

Great review. I won't consider any new device that doesn't support HDMI ARC these days. I'm slightly disappointed that Yamaha continues to not support Chromecast built-in in many of their devices. Luckily, as you mention, the MusicCast app is quite good and includes most music streaming services. Question! In your opinion, does the R-N1000a sound greatly better than the Yamaha's Aventage (AVR) line around this price range (A4A, A6A)? For me personally, if the sound quality isn't a huge improvement, frugal me could regret getting this receiver over the additional diversity/flexibility of features offered by the Aventage line.
