Yamaha R - 2000 Natural Sound Stereo Receiver

This was THE top-of-the-line stereo receiver from Yamaha. This receiver just trounces the famous Marantz receivers. I know, because I had two Marantz receivers. This is a fantastic sounding receiver, bar none. The only reason I am selling this is to upgrade to a Krell receiver at about 4 times the price.

In addition to the 3 stock speaker outputs (A, B, & C), I have installed 1 pair of Cardas un-plated copper binding posts which by-pass the speaker selection switch, for best sound, a significant improvement. These Cardas speaker outputs are still protected by the protection relay, protecting the receiver and your speakers. This is not shown in the photos, as this was done after the photos were taken. The Cardas posts are installed above the stock speaker outputs.

Features:

Digital tuner - 7 FM and 7 Am pre-sets
"X" Power Amp Circuit
150 watts per channel at 8 ohms, 20 to 20kHz at 0.015% THD
Will drive virtually any speaker made
3 dB Dynamic Headroom at 8 ohms
MOVING COIL and moving magnet phono stage
Handles 3 sets of speakers
Bass, treble and "Presence" midrange controls
Variable loudness control
Variable "Spatial Expander" control

The snap-in loop AM antenae wast lost
The spatial expander rotary control is noisy only when you rotate it. Needs a little cleaning. I never use it anyway, it is an artificial type of sound

Size of the receiver is: 21-1/4 x 15-1/4 x 4-3/4 inches

Rated conservatively at a 7.

I have a copy of the owner's manual.
