Overview
A living room or den with passive bookshelf or floor speakers gets a stereo receiver from Yamaha that drives them directly and adds Bluetooth streaming from a phone or tablet. AM and FM antennas handle radio, and a selector switches between a main and second set of speakers.
Bluetooth streaming plus a built-in tuner and wired inputs in one box covers the usual music sources for a simple stereo setup. There are no surround channels or video switching, so it does not serve a home theater with several speakers around the couch.
Who it's for
Suits a music-first room, such as an office or living room, where one pair of passive speakers handles everything. People planning movie surround sound should look at an AV receiver.
Pros and cons
- Wireless streaming from phones and tablets
- Built-in AM and FM tuner
- Selector feeds a second speaker system
- Headphone terminal for private listening
- No surround sound processing
- Channel and HDMI fields in listing look wrong
- Phono input not listed
- Power figures conflict across listing fields
Performance notes
Loudness and control depend on matching the amplifier to the speakers connected to it. Wireless audio quality depends on the phone and its connection, so wired sources give the cleanest signal path. The speaker selector routes the same amplifier to either connected system.
