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?
@@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.
Thanks! We try to be as thoughtful and as thorough as possible.
It’s dumb to think y’all are a ‘lone wolf’ because this is an amazing community. Thankful for your commitment to all your viewers. This channel is my only ‘must watch’ audio channel.
Appreciate you (and everyone) but may I ask what prompted the "lone wolf" comment? Not upset, just curious!
The beginning of the recent CAM/Darko collab. An assumption on my part, but I don’t know who else theyd be talking about.
@@chrisveltman1795 Hmm, interesting. Appreciate you letting me know. FWIW, Kristi and I don't shy away from communication and/or collaboration, it's just that we're either a) never asked or b) have been other creators' punching bag for years which makes it hard to want to participate in a back-n-forth. We love this community though --especially you all here in the comments! I'm very proud of what we've built together!
they didn’t mention y’all by name. They just were celebrating their recent subscriber Memberships. And then stating that Darko didn’t want to increase his subscriber numbers. Because no one wants to be the Lone wolf.
@@chrisveltman1795 Well, so long as I have Kristi and all of you there ain't nothing "lone" about what we do here 😉
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.
Except for the 7200, it is difficult to remember previous integrated reviews. Thanks for including some.
This review put me over the top, just ordered mine!!!
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.
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?
Two weeks ago i just bought rn 800a available in Europe (same specs like 1000A minus HDMI)amazing sound and i have all conection that i need.
YPAO do great job with audio setup on my small living room(you can adjust all setings after from music cast) ,i am very happy with him..keep listening !
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.
There are many things to like in your reviews but I appreciate your willingness to compare products/brands definitively. Thanks.
Thanks!
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!
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 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
Thanks for this review Andrew! Just at this moment looking for a 2-channel with HDMI so looking forward to your review on the Marantz Stereo 70S! There is also the Onkyo 8270! Like to see a double feature on these maybe? Great channel!!
Great review! Would the sound quality be better using spotify trough the built in music streamer versus spotify on a smart tv trough eArc?
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
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?
Your UA-cam is absolutely awesome and educational. Question: do you ever test jazz such as songs on UA-cam called greatest collection Whiskey Blues relaxing Whiskey Blues music?
Your talk about HDMI being digital reminds me of reading people bashing optical in favor of digital coax back in the day. I suspect this was driven by cable companies trying to push ridiculously expensive digital cables.
Audiophiles are weird. I’m glad there’s a bigger push for measurement data in recent years.
Anyway. Love your channel. I’m not at all in the market for this product but watch anyway.
I have been looking for my perfect "new"receiver for 3 yrs. This is on the way thank you!
Thank you for that section on room correction! It was very detailed and I think it also helped me understand my system a little better.
Glad it helped!
Hi, thanks for the review: would you upgrade from yamaha rn803 to rn1000? Thanks.
Good morning I enjoyed the video this morning. Hope you guys have an awesome week
Thanks so much! Same to you!
I have an R-N303D and its a great box. One box solutions keep on improving.
Hello from the Netherlands Amsterdam, great exploring yamaha 1000, I have a question I still got the 2010 yamaha amplifier it's have a Recap 4 years ago, and 4 x the yamaha 1000 m , here's a question,,is the rn a 1000 an upgrade or ???? What is your opinion I hope you answer 👍
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
Thank you for another great review guys. This Xmas I’m trying to get the 2000A. What pair of tower speakers would
You recommend for 80%streaming music, 20% tv/movies.
Thank you.
I got the X95K based on your review and I LOVE IT. Thank you again.
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.
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 both so much for this review. I have now found my all in one solution to purchase this Yamaha 1000 to pair with my Klipsch rp 600m that I will receive tomorrow. P.S Love your channel and look forward to seeing more reviews. ❤
Love your channel! Re Yamaha, I wish you got to review their older YSP soundbars (sound projector) models, like the YSP 2200 or the YSP 2700 compared to modern offerings. They were the first I think to use projected beams to walls to create true surround.
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!
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 ~
HDMI is want I want!!! Definitely interested in this amp! Love the aesthetics
I bought a Cambridge axr100 and i run a digital in from my tv with a 2.1 system including Kanto y6 passives and a 10" Monoprice sub, Another digital comes from my 4k blu-ray player for movies, And I have hdmi put from the tv to a Polk 400 atmos soundbar. 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!
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...

Fab review. Thank you! 🙃
Thx. I’ve been tempted to pick this 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!
Hey, thanks very helpful. That’s what I have is a Yamaha so I’m very happy with it. Thanks again.
Muchas gracias por el análisis yo pensaba comprar el amplificador A701 pero desconocía este producto ...creo que con esto tengo todo
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
Kristy I always love your perspective on reviewed products. Love your content.
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.
Love the new intro!👍
I'm glad you like it
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..
Andrew, I’m thinking of getting the Yamaha RN2000a to replace my Emotiva Pt100 BassXA300 combo. I will use the Emotiva in my garage system. Do you think the new Yamaha will sound as good or possibly even better than the older Emotiva models. Thanks!
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.)
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☺️
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
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?
Hdmi is great addition. Thanks for your review.
Hi! For about $1300 would this be a great buy comparing it to the audiolab 6000A + Node 2i? I’m a big fan of the HDMI Arc and that I will be able to use Apple TV remote to turn volume up and down. I just don’t know if sound wise it’ll be even a little better than the 6000A. I use this combo with the Heresy IVs.
Guys, I just love your presentation! Clear, precise and to the point. Did I mention entertaining? I do like the fact that the Yamaha is a 2.1 system.
Thanks so much!
Amazing product! Yamaha made an integrated that I had to build with separates.
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.
Will this power a set of Magnat Transpuls, or KLH model 5, or similar large floor speaker?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I am told the N800A is close the the 1000A regarding the sound. I dont need the HDMI so i dont know if you got a chance to look at it or got any feedback. thanks
Andrew, any chance you’ll review subs soon? I would like your opinion on jl audio d110 please 🙏
Do you think is a good setup for the klh model five ?
This amp plus Decware OB’s seems intriguing for a less expensive set up.
Alright! Happy sunday to ya once again!!!
Happy Sunday indeed, AND at the right time 😂
😄
Nice Video! is there any way you get the new Marantz Stereo 70 for a review?
We have it and that review is in the works.
Thank you for this review!
I was wondering because in EU the Audiolab 7000a is considerably cheaper than this Yamaha.
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?)
Out of curiosity how do these stereo amps compare to receivers like the cinema 40 or others in that price range etc for stereo?
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 hope you can get your hands on a Topping LA90 discrete amplifier! Its a one trick pony but noise and distortion are vanishingly low.
How does this compare with an av receiver (ie marantz) for movie watching? Other than the lack of channels
Would this pair well with NS-800 or NS-600 loudspeakers?
Hey Andrew, I'm looking for an amp to power a new set of KEF R7's. I was looking at the Naim Nova but it was pushing my budget and both this R-N1000a and R-N2000a came up. I've only heard the R7s with the Naim which was awesome but obviously that comes with a cost... I still can't believe the cost of the 1000a compared to both the others for that amount of Watts. What is your recommendation, if I can get the Nova for the same price as the 2000a? My assumption is if I have the budget get the Nova, if I'm trying to save go with the 1000a and I should still be pretty happy, at least for a bit... Any thoughts?
Great video! Thank you Andrew and Kristi. Been following you guys since 20k subscribers. You guys came a long way! Almost 350k subscribers !
One question though. Do you know if the sub output is defeated in pure direct mode?
The sub is active in Pure Direct mode according to the manual but YPAO and all tone controls are inactive (again, according to the manual).
Hello, how does it compare to a-s2200 that you reviewed sone time ago? Thanks
I love Yamaha. I would like to see y'all review the more budget av Yamaha receiver rx-385.
@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
The best is to audition both amps next to each other.
I've been waiting for this one!! Finally
Hope it was worth the wait.
@@andrewrobinsonreviewsWell I didn't expect that response from Kristi😅..worth it excellent review 👏🏾
I’m assuming it would pair well with Arendal 1723’s or the KLH series 5? What’s your thoughts?
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.
AVRs can 100% be hifi products. Glad you found a solution that works for you!
Great review. Yamaha ..love their amps❤
How would you compare this to the NAD 3050C. Both all in one integrated amps with retro looks.
What do you think about this receiver with Heresy 4’s?
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!
Sonically, how much of an improvement over the 6000A? I personally have the 6000A with a node 2i but I really want a receiver with HDMI arc. Let me know what you think please!
Love the looks of the GX70 looking forward to that review.
Stay very tuned 😉
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.
How does NAD C3050 compare to Yamaha 1000a?
Great video as usual... I have a quick question? Where did you get those nice black leather, silver chairs?
Those chairs are tagged in the video. You should see a photo pop up. You can also open the description box to find them.
I hope you can help me. I just got KEF LS50 META. Which one is better quality sound to run this speaker, Musical Fidelity M5si or Yamaha r-n1000a? Thanks in advance! Big fan of your work.
I own some R11s and KEF are high efficiency speakers, just pick your poison
Has anyone compared this to the A-S1200? Is it similar sonically to it? If I have a node should I just get the 1200? Or get rid of the node and go with the RN1000A?
Would the monitor audio bronze 200 pair well with the Yamaha R-N1000a?
Yamaha is great even in their entry level products great review keep up the great work
