Yamaha R-S300BL Stereo Home Theater Receiver (Black)

Just had this piece delivered yesterday. Setup was a breeze. The design is elegant. It has plenty of power. Feels solidly built, to last for years upon years to come. And all those things are well and good, things you expect from a big-name manufacturer ...

As I work at home, I rely on my radio for entertainment and news throughout the day. When my 20+ year old Nakamichi died, I searched for an affordable replacement that provided quality sound and good radio reception (as I live in a fringe reception area). ...

First, I would like to thank the people at Vanns. They were very nice and helpful on making this purchase. Will definitely deal with again. Now on to the actual product. This receiver is nicer then I expected. Dont let the 50 watts per channel fool ...

The FM radio tuner is sensitive and delivers good sound, although it may be a bit too restrictive, cutting off all radio stations with less then excellent signal strength...Mechanical construction and finish are very good, black version looks very classy and is completely unobtrusive...I doubt anyone would be able to hear any difference, but it is good to know Yamaha engineers are thinking about details.) Matching speaker impedance: Yamaha R-S300 has two speaker impedance settings...

I update from a 20+ year old amp, and this is a noticeable improvement...2) many functions are available only through the remote...3) The included FM antenna will only work for a few people, as it comes directly off the back of the unit...

First, I would like to thank the people at Vanns...My last receiver was 100 watts per channel, and wasnt bad, but the R-S300 definitely has more punch...Price is a little high for a stereo receiver but I guess you pay for good quality parts and clean sound...
