Yamaha RN-2000a

I'm looking to replace my MAC6700 receiver with something that sounds as good, but is a bit more reliable.  (I could insert a paragraph here about my McIntosh experiences but that's not the purpose of this post).  I've always preferred the integrated approach to hi-fidelity, but the selection of really good receivers that can be purchased new is pretty thin.  I still listen to FM and currently use a laptop as a music/streaming server.  I also have my TV  and Beogram turntable attached, so the MAC is really the center of my system.  I've looked at NAD, but I'm a bit old-school and prefer not to go class-D.  The Yamaha RN-2000a is about the only thing left that I can find.  I'd like to hear of any experiences good or bad that folks on this forum might have had with this unit.  Also, if someone knows a viable alternative, I'm happy to learn about it.  Best to all.

Thanks, Russ69

But according to Crutchfield's site"

Product highlights:

  • beefy toroidal transformer delivers plenty of clean power to drive speakers
  • 90 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.07% THD
  • 145 watts per channel into 4 ohms with 2 channels driven
  • FM tuner with 40 assignable station presets
  • digital screen in bottom of faceplate displays source selection, radio station frequency, and more

Also, thank you wbs

I've read about the Outlaw unit.  It looks like a good secondary unit for a office or family room.  I wonder of anyone on this forum has purchased one and can comment on its performance / dependability.

FM tuner with 40 assignable station presets

Damn it, I looked everywhere and I didn’t see that. Thanks for the correction. I still recommend the MF6si/streamer. Especially if the stations you listen to stream.

If I were in your shoes, I'd get the Mac receiver properly serviced. What issues have you had with it?

I would either get your receiver serviced or purchase the new  McIntosh 7200 receiver. It has everything you are looking for and more.

Yamaha has a specific sound, very dry, not liquid at all, I call it "box of nails"

Imaging is very good though. 

If you want a musical sound, for that $ you have a lot of options
