Yamaha RX-397 100 Watt Natural Sound AM/FM Stereo Receiver

Yamaha RX-397 100 Watt Natural Sound AM/FM Stereo Receiver Review



This amplifier is all it is claimed to be....and more. I owned a series of amlifiers and was recently using a Wintek R1120..fine amp but well over 40 years old. I am running into 8 ohm impedence Fisher ST 832 ported 3 way speakers (with the impressive 17 inch woofer...the days when they still made audiophile gear) as A and Yamaha NS-A500 3-way speakers as B. The quality is unbelievable. I only received this unit this evening: a breeze to install. Even with my older DVDs, Traviatta, Butterfly and Tchaikowsky's violin concerto (the ones tried so far) come through with new clarity and depth. It is a basic audiophile receiver. It does not act as a home theater, have an alarm or axctivate the coffeemake. However, it does what it was intended to do superbly. Worth every penny!!

Yamaha RX-497 75 watt per channel Natural Sound AM/FM Stereo Receiver

Yamaha RX-497 75 watt per channel Natural Sound AM/FM Stereo Receiver Review



I purchased this item to replace an aging Sony receiver/amp that was on it's final lap. As expected, Yamaha's build quality and performance does not disappoint. This thing is built like a tank and the sound it produces is unmatched by any stereo I have ever owned or heard. My only regret is that I did not purchase the less expensive (and less powerful) RX-397 as the power of this model is major overkill for my needs. However, the RX-397 has fewer input sources and I felt I should leave my options open in case I needed to add system components in the future.

If you have a decent pair of speakers (I have 35 year old Bose 501's), this stereo will absolutely blow the windows out of a normal size home. Unless you need the extra power (75W per channel is a very conservative rating) and features that this amp offers, I would take a long look at the lower end RX-397 model.
