Written Review: https://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2023/10/25/yamaha-r-n2000-network-receiver-review-yes/
In today’s video I review the Yamaha R-N2000a Receiver. This one has a streamer, a DAC and a class AB power amp that puts out 90 WPC into 8ohms and 145 into 4 ohms. It has a built in Phono stage and even FM radio built in as well!
The Yamaha has been with me for six months now as I took my sweet time, making sure I really loved it as much as I thought before making this video. Overall I have bonded with this amp and yes, I bought it with my own money . This was not a free review unit ; )
I explain all about the Yamaha integrated amp here and talk about why I love it so much. I test it with several speakers as well from $1200 to $12000. It can scale pretty well and sounds glorious with my OGY and BOB units.
BTW the MM Phono Stage here is also quite nice! There is nothing here NOT to LOVE.
Enjoy!

Its 3 times the price of 1000…
Have you reviewed the LINN streamers? You mention you can’t seem to better the Rose. I’m not sure about the price comparisons. But in the UK the LINN streamer products are reported to be the best in their category by UK and also other European countries press.
So people can stream Spotify on this amp…LOL
I'm finally done with you. You offer nothing but gushing hyperbole at every turn. Super sus and grifty
If memory serves I recall your saying you had a Yamaha integrated and it crapped out on you very shortly after purchase; it was not a judgment you were reporting facts; now Yamaha is getting so much love; their top of the line integrated is overpriced of course value is subjective; if you read German Stereoplay Rang und Namen they rank purely on sound and then a score for value and the result is middling; mid pack of all the integrated amplifiers out there with or without streaming capabilities.
It’s a a-s1200 with arc, digital inputs and streaming capabilities. That’s the sound description
6:20 “it’s a little warm”
8:27 “it’s not warm”
So what is it?
Funny how every one of your reviews, it’s your favourite. This one stays!
By the whay that’s what I tell myself time and time again with new gear 😂
I just picked one up "Used like new" from Amazon for $2350. From what you said in your review and the other reviews I've seen I couldn't pass it up at that price. Now the decision is what speakers I want to pair with it. I'm down to either Wharfdale 85th anniversary Linton or Klipsch Heresy. Two speakers with completely different sounds but I have heard both and really like both. I'm leaning Klipsch because in your review you mention the Yamaha has a slightly warm sound. I'm thinking the brighter sounding Klipsch speakers may match up well with an amp a little on the warmer side. Any advice would be welcome. Great review! Subbed.
My dream amp but being disabled and on a VERY fixed budget, that's never going to happen.
We have a A-S3200 and it’s just great. It took quite a while to open up but after while it just relaxes and keeps the detail but smooths out without losing detail. Feed it a really nice source via XLR and it sounds high end to my ears, but not cold like some high end. Obviously speakers matter!
Do you set bass/treble at '0' or keep it like this because it looks nice while filming?
Greetings from Callands, Virginia. I enjoyed your assessment of the Yamaha N2000 and I would love to have one for my JVC DD-7 cassette deck and a future turntable. I currently have a Yamaha Aventage A760 from 2016 that's going strong. I would love to see something new from Yamaha because no one adds tape loops to AVRs. Thank you for your assessment.
6 months to post a review, to be sure about your thoughts , so is that what we can expect with all future reviews, as premise stands for all equipment? Fishy smell anyone?
No YAMAHA sounds better than a pair of pro active ATC SCM ASL monitors either .
haven't heard any YAMAHA amplifier thats sounds better than my two 90's two AVI S2000MI integrated amplifiers used as two mono amps for each speaker . The AVI's are detailed and transparent , have resolution , are colourless , are still smooth but still dynamic and exciting . They pull out more detail from any recordings that no YAMAHA amplifier ever could , fact .
As far as I'm concerned, for a few bucks more, I'd have a Daniel Hertz system. Done!
Hi, I have been a music aficionado all my life and have been playing various musical instruments as long also. I have been very critical of my stereo equipment from the beginning. Not to get into any of that so moving on to the point. I would like to suggest going to the source of music creation for speaker systems. Have you ventured into the world of Professional Monitors. This is the beginning of the Art of Music Creation. (After the Musicians of course). I think the pure sound you are looking for might be there. These tools have been used in the mixing and mastering of music creation and might be the way to go. The Musicians and Engineers that use this equipment are very critical listeners and demand high quality from their Art. So speaking from personal experience as a music creator and from my younger days back in the late 60s early 70s of Mcintosh Amps, Dual and Empire turntables etc. Check it out. BTW I am not affiliated with or work for this company but being a musician I do all my business with them it's my go to. Sweetwater is the name. Great people very knowledgeable not pushy.
Keen to hear where your Luxman and Pass Labs experiences are sonically in comparison to both 2000 and 3200.
Great review, love Yamaha as well. How would you describe the a-s3200 sound compared to this? Does it have that same warmth in the vocal region as you described for them this integrated?
I was a Yamaha dealer for many years and i found them to be a great company. They didn’t use any off the shelf parts, every part was built in house(may be different now). I was told long ago that Yamaha even grew the trees that provide the wood for their guitars and pianos.
I’ve had and listened to multiple Yamaha receivers and integrated’s overs the years from 1970’s to present as-701 running my Zu’s now best midfi for mass production for the price. Very crisp and clean . Prefer my vintage sansui stuff a little warmer but Yamaha is a close 2nd without spending major bucks with my mid 60’S ears why spend more when I can’t hear the difference . Thanks for another great review .
You Should really check out the Yamaha AS3200 – With a world class DAC
Great review with nice comparisons, thanks! Looking forward to the 3200 review.
Doubt youll find one better than that Rose.
Be patient I purchased the silver R-N2000A from Amazon (US) in November 2023 for $2,499.95 USD. It is fantastic at that price.
How would it work w Buchardt Anniversary 10?
Now you know…🍺👍🔊🔈… Yamaha…. ! Saving up for the Yamaha C-5000 preamplifier and the YAMAHA M-5000 amplifier…. !
It’s still expensive
I have a black and a silver a-s1200 by both the meters are not aligned.
