      Hi, thank you for another great video from both, you and Kristi
      I like the Yamaha old look and new features, but I was thinking during all the video that another gear is similar in features (HDMI, Dirac correction,...) and finally you talk a litle about it and it's the NAD M10 V2. More compact product, more modern style, class D amplifier, something diferent but also practical and nice.
      Regarding the black band that includes the screen, I agree with you Andrew that is a very intelligent and elegant way to include the screen in a classic design.
      Personally I think it's nice, and remember to me the vintage receivers that had wood pieces added to the chasis.
      In the other hand, as Kristi pointed correctly, if someone has any problem with it, it could select the all black design. But... I prefer the real contrast between the silver and black that the difference in the surface design between the black aluminium and the plastic surface and look in the screen.
      I have black Yamaha AVR (RX-V677) and a Yamaha BD-A1040 Blue-Ray/SACD that both like good, but I don't like so much just that difference between the black alluminium and the plastic screen area.

    Andrew and Kristi, I just absolutely love the importance and emphasis you two put on style, design, and aesthetics of equipment and pieces as a whole and how it truly does affect integration of one’s lifestyle and choices of picking wisely! It’s too often overlooked by others and not only in the CZcams space. I have taken an influence for sure and designed my room and my sound system together to be seem less in appearance as to be most inviting for me and others when I love to show it all off!
    Great job as always, and thank you again!

    We’ve had the R-N2000A for a couple months now and absolutely love it. We have the silver model with the black bar at the bottom (as Andrew demonstrated) and it looks great with our setup. We we’re definitely in love with the all-black model but weren’t willing to wait around for it to be available.

    I got the R-n2000a with a set of ns-3000 speakers. It sounds fantastic. Very natural, get seperation.
    I learnt the lesson to listen to speakers before you buy.
    I thought I wanted a KEF active speaker or Dutch&Dutch 8c, but when I listened to them, my ears got tired after an hour or so.
    With the 2000a+3000 setup, I listen to it for 11 hours straight one time and never tired of it. It's actually gotten better with time.

      @robinsonbrand thanks. I really liked your review. You get that is about sound preference. One isn't necessarily better than the other (the audiolab is great if you like a forward sound) and more expensive isn't always better (the 1000 review showed that its more dynamic than its big brother).

    Love all the comparisons. Two comments. Forgot to mention what for me is the killer feature and so well implemented not to mention extremely rare; the very effective variable loudness control. Not everyone listens to music loud and this is essential to maintain the perceived frequency response at lower volumes. I would like to see a comparison with the Lyngdorf TDAI 1120. Thanks.

    It is great to see a product come close to what you personally would like to own. An integrated AV amp with room correction is right up my alley! A Zone 2 switch to bring in a tape loop for a tape recorder or equalizer would be a bonus. The silver facade is great and maybe Yamaha could offer a light mode for the OLED display stripe to give a faux silver background with a black letter display? I would love to have one!

    Thank you very much 🙏 dear Andrew and dear Kristi for this great presentation of the Yamaha network amplifier. I had an A-S2100 for a very short time. A great device in terms of sound. Unfortunately I got a lemon. The amplifier failed three times within 3 months. It got stuck in the protection circuit when I switched it on. After that I was fed up with Yamaha amplifiers. Two Yamaha mixers have been working here for years without any problems. Keep up the good work. I appreciate your work very much. All the best and Servus from Bavaria

    I have the R-N2000A paired with the KEF R3s and I am enjoying the pairing. To be honest, I hated the R3s before and was looking for new speakers to purchase. I thought the R3s were boring and lifeless unless you turned the volume to 50% or higher. The R-N2000A woke the speakers up and showed me their true potential. I am really enjoying my setup now

    OMG dangling the carrot with that Anthem review. Sitting in my hands waiting for that. Pretty much the deciding factor on hitting the checkout button on that or not. Also read some very old reviews from Andrew in the Parasound A51 and A31 amplifiers from over 10 years ago which have me thinking about an MRX1140 combo with a A31 for LCR power and use the MRX to power surrounds and height channels. The new Sony ES is also in the running to pair with that A31.

    One thing that I would have liked to see on the R-N2000A is a line out for the few of us that still use recording devices. I agree with Kristi about the black display "clashing" with the silver face. If I decide to get one of these, I'll likely end up with the all black one to "eliminate the clash."

    I ditched surround sound years ago because I couldn’t fit it In My small home.
    I currently use a Sansui Eight with a Bluesound Node which gives me ARC so I also use it for TV.
    I honestly couldn’t be happier.
    Plus my wife likes the simplicity of it.
    Let alone the fact that it just sounds better than my old AVR

    Totally agree with Kristi, that black bar is poorly justified visually, of course it allows to display information, but that information never justifies the width of the bar. The full black version manages to disguise this situation better by not differentiating something that really fails to create a powerful difference.
    Love your videos!

    The Yamaha is a beautiful piece of gear. A very well done retro look. Maybe they could replace the black stripe at the bottom with frosted glass. It could still be a display but blend in better.

      inside the Music Cast App you can change some settings but I can't recall which off the top of my head. Check this out for more details manual.yamaha.com/av/21/rn2000a/en-US/8395474571.html

  • @slawomirkulinski
    @slawomirkulinski Před rokem +2

    If you own Yamaha receiver which uses MultiCast and you struggle with sound stutter:
    Problem occurs more likely if you use higher bandwidth transmission e.g. FLAC 192kHz. It is observable just few seconds after starting playing new track. It affects many well known Yamaha products e.g. my WXC-50. The problem is unrelated to specific sound format (FLAC/AAC) or service (e.g. Spotify, Qobuz).
    Workaround: Switch off WiFi and connect Ethernet. Notice that you have to explicitly turn off WiFi. Plugging the Ethernet cable won't fix the problem by itself.

    I agree with Christie about the black stripe being a negative to the design, so I might choose all black if I were to purchase one of these units. Another downside appears to be the lack of MQA support for those of us who enjoy streaming Tidal. Beyond those negatives, I like the connectivity, room correction, inclusion of hdmi is a plus for us as we use our two channel system to improve the sound of our TV set up without having to go full home theatre nerd in our living space. Love the vintage feel of those meters! Would seriously consider this unit for our next upgrade. So close to perfect for us.

    Such an interesting test and product as always! I love this amplifier’s look since always. Well, the additional cost for integrated amplifier is a little nigh high but you have Yamaha quality and out of time look. I would hesitate with the sug 700 even if there’s no digital output and streaming stuff inside… Carry on you dear both to provide your very interesting and not boring advices !!

    Good morning! Something great to digest with Sunday breakfast. All valid points in the post-review discussion. It reminds me of a resto-mod in the car world.

    I like the black bar. I hope it last as long as most Yamaha gear or the screen can be repaired if it doesn’t last. I have Yamaha receivers that are decades old that use the amber led type displays and they are still working. Just not sure OLED will have that sort of longevity.

    I absolutely love Andrew and Kristi. There conversation at the end is always my favorite. I ended up going with an Anthem STR integrated and a BlueSound node streamer to drive my Maggie 1.7i for 2 channel. I tried arc but prefer stock tuning. Plan to get a pair of rel T9x so will active ARC for bass management at that point.

      @@jstoli996c4s I needed the anthem due to it damping factor plus being rock solid stable at 2 ohms to drive the Maggie’s. I was surprised at how good the onboard Dac is but not as excited about the ARC results. I think with duals subs I’ll see the benefit of it though. Have no experience with the Michi but did own the Hegel h160 and demo’d the h190.
