My neighbours hate it! – So I purchased the Yamaha RX-V385 to replace my RX-V483 that died after 9-10 years. The 385 cost me $620 which I believe was a little more than I… Read more

paid for the 483 all that time ago. You would think after 10 years it would be far more advanced in technology or functionality but to my disappointment, after 10 years and the same price I actually now have less functionality with my new one! Now before you start saying ‘well you knew what you were buying’, yes, I chose to take the limited functionality for that price as I didn’t really use the additional features such as wifi control on my old one and didn’t want to spend an extra $300-$400 for the new equivalent of what I had previously.

Don’t get me wrong, Yamaha makes a great product, the sound is great and it works flawlessly - I do love this amp! I have massive speakers in my shed with a TV that I can connect to Spotify along with a CD and record player for when I want to listen to something old… and this amp pumps! I know a lot of it is due to the speakers but the quality of sound from the amp is impressive - I’m sure my neighbours aren’t a fan!

Overall, I recommend this amp, you can’t go wrong with Yamaha, just as you will see from the picture, not much has changed in 10 years. Whether that is a good or bad thing… I’ll let you be the judge.

These speakers are an enigma. They have been completely ignored by the mainstream HiFi press despite being in production for almost 20 years now. … Read more

They're often bundled with Yamaha home theatre packages, and most owners would not have tried them as standalone stereo hi-fi speakers. For those who have, the user reviews are polarising. People either love them or hate them.

I bought a pair of NS333s for $100 from a guy who was splitting up his Yamaha 7.1 home theatre system. He said he couldn't live with the sound paired with his 'new' amplifier, a vintage low-watt Sansui from the 1970s. He hooked them up so I could test they were working and, yes, they sounded awful. There was hardly any bass or high frequency content, but plenty of squawky upper mid-range like a cheap TV speaker. He reconnected his Mission speakers and the sound was properly gorgeous hi-fi. Seeing as I'd driven so far, I bought the NS333s anyway because I liked the size and thought I could always use them for TV duty, or on-sell them.

At home, I connected them to my Yamaha A-S501 amplifier and spun some CDs. I was shocked. The sound knocked my socks off. It was rich, dynamic and tonally super accurate. I play guitar and piano and these speakers deliver amazingly lifelike renditions of both. The best reproductions I've heard in fact. Particularly piano, which often has me declaring wow to an empty room. I'd characterise the sound as sonically neutral - the speakers just get out of the way and let you hear the music as it was recorded. Bad recordings sound bad and great recordings sound GREAT. There's nowhere to hide if the audio production is poor. The stereo image is worth talking about too. These are the first speakers where I've experienced proper front-to-back depth perception. Where you can hear into the music and tell how far away everything is from the listening position. It is highly addictive to hear an orchestra floating in the distance behind a singer and band!

So why have I only given 4-stars? The NS333s on their own are a bit shy in low bass, which is to be expected from fairly small boxes. I found they needed a sub-woofer crossed over at 80-90 Hz to reach their full potential. And they clearly need careful matching with the amplification. I tried them with a 40W Rotel amplifier that I use on another system, and they were like different speakers. Gone was the exquisite tonal balance, in its place there was a tilt towards harsh upper mid-range. What an online reviewer called 'shouty'. And I think this is the reason for the polarising user reviews - pairing with the right amplifier is essential for the NS333s to reveal their true potential. They are not flattering and will not sound great on every system, so it's essential to try before you buy.

Great subwoofer and excellent port – Firstly, I had a Sony MUTEKI 2012W setup and ended up wanting better because everyone know of HTIB (home theatre in a box) not being the greatest. I… Read more

ended up looking around and eventually decided that I wanted my own personal little setup to start from scratch. I had 2 no name cheap speakers (phantom centre speaker) which never worked properly cause the amp back then didn't support more then half of the effect that it was supposed to cause it was so old,, but I found a YST-RSW300 that I ended up getting given at work. Plugged it up and it worked but would flutter from behind the driver at a certain frequency. It would sound phenomenonal on the Fallout 4 start up menu (although being an absolutely horrible game), have deep bass, would have wicked impact and would be really responsive. Although how great it sounded, I eventually got sick of hearing the flutter, which broke immersion in games and movies. I eventually got a Klipsch R52c centre speaker for the vocals, just about 2-3 weeks ago I got the R51M bookshelf speakers until I can get the R820-F for the mains and move the bookshelf speakers to the rear. So I eventually decided to see if there were other ones or even newer ones. Which ended up me finding the NS-SW300,, the result was instantly noticed. I didn't use it too loud and I still don't really use it too loud just yet (being that I've had it for well over a year. I did use the Mono input to start off with but realised that the LFE plug over rides the Mono and frequency dial. And it sounds good, real good. The bass is tremendous, the Fallout 4 menu again sounds deep and impactful. It responds really quickly, the depth of bass that comes out isn't too boomy or over the top. I ended up having yo turn the gain down from half way to about a third of the way up. Having the port on the right side of the cabinet means that you can use the entire room or the wall to extend the bass. I have since purchased a second subwoofer of the exact same. It doesn't really need it because the way I have them yet up is via a gold plated 5m long Y-plug feeding from my single subwoofer pre-out Yamaha RX385V. Not a bad amp but at the time I was limited with the moolah. I can have either subwoofer on while playing video games or movies. And which ever one I do use is in the perfect spot. But if I use both at the same time then although it doesn't get overly explosive or Michael Bay(esq) it gives the illusion of more bass (defined by the 3+dB thanks to the two) I was hesitant to buying a subwoofer because in the past I did buy a Klipsch RS100 which stopped for some reason not even 6 months of buying it and it upset me because it cost so much and I thought that it sounded good. And there's no fuse like all the other ones to be able to replace,, so straight over the shoulder that went and in came the Yamaha NS-SW300 and so glad that I did end up coming down to this one. She enforces power down pact, the rattle of my entire bedroom and the loose things around the house can confirm that. My neighbours even hear it, not from how loud or over the top it is, but by how low and deep it reaches. The port of this design makes you realise that even though it's a compact size, you'll defiantly get more then enough bang for your buck. Realistically, if you want a subwoofer that has great response and that reaches lower then what your soul does going down to hell then this is definitely something for you. It's small and compact and I even have it in a small (but fully open on all sides) glass cabinet and it couldn't be any better. The bass hits exactly where we sit and even all around the room. Because it fires so rapidly and precisely, there can't really be a better subwoofer at this size for the same price. This has one finished on the top of a lot of lists regarding it's size and output and just as an overall item. Hopefully you read this novel (if anyone did) and made your mind up about this monstrous machine of a subwoofer.

Won't work because of HDCP2.2 – Be wary of this product, it doesn't work with TV's not supporting HDCP2.2. I purchased this product to simply replace an old Pioneer receiver that… Read more

kept turning itself off all the time.

It turns out this won't work with my TV because it doesn't have HDCP2.2, meaning the receiver is no use at all.

It is not reasonable to expect a customer to upgrade their TV just so they can use a receiver.

Bought at Christmas time and threw away the box with all the other wrapping and boxes so I suspect sending it back won't be an option or will cost me $$$$.

If I could give zero stars I would but it only goes down to one.

I'm so disappointed with this product.

Yamaha NS-SW050 Needed a small active sub-woofer to enhance a small bookshelf speaker setup for playing vinyl records – Denon amp, Dali concept… Read more

speakers, and Audio Technica turntable. As good as the sound was, just need that little bit more bass fill without overpowering it. The NS-SW050 50-watt 20cm Yamaha sub looked like it would fit the bill nicely – I also did not want to pay hundreds of dollars for a big sub, so finding the sweet spot was the challenge and this woofer did the job.

The overall dimensions of 291mmx292mmx341mm make it compact and it sits discretely next to the cabinet at the rear and is not intrusive. Key features of the design are the 20cm driver is mounted on the front of the cabinet and disperse sound forwards, and a side firing, twisted flare port on the right side of the unit which is designed to help produce tight clear bass by smoothing the airflow and removing extraneous noise (according to Yamaha)

My real-world experience after firing the woofer up is that it filled the “gap” nicely on my sound system and has certainly enhanced the bottom end bass experience without overblowing the sound, though it will distort a bit if you put the volume too high – the controls on the woofer are basic, on off bottom and volume control. The woofer is rated at 28-200Hz and I have set the amplifier at 120HZ which seems to work well enough. The woofer is connected by 1 std. RCA input directly from the sub-woofer output on the amplifier. The output is 100w dynamic power, 50w output power, 100HZ, 5 ohm, 10% THD.

All in all, happy with this sub-woofer – It is not going to run a very big home theatre system, its horses for course and as an enhancement to a bookshelf speaker system is very good, fit for the job. Its also not heavy, 8.5kg

If you want to buy one of these, recommend you shop around, the price varies considerably.

PROS: Compact sub, good for bookshelf system to enhance bass; Good build quality like most Yamaha equipment; Simple to use, only has volume control and no complicated adjustments; Front firing sub - easy to place near a wall for space saving Good quality at this price point

CONS: Only has volume control, no input frequency adjustment or any other adjustments No remote control to turn on/off if behind cabinet (added arlec remote control power adapter)

Great sound – Excellent rounded sound from this subwoofer with plenty of volume, in-fact enough to blow one out of the room. Only retracting feature is that it doesn’t turn itself off when idle

Excellent – I cannot praise these speakers highly enough. They are real value for money. They sound great, look good and have been totally fault & trouble free. … Read more

You could do a lot worse on every level. Would recommend them to anybody considering a new mid - high priced speaker system. Have owned these speakers for almost 3 years now and cannot fault them. Crisp clear sound - and they can handle it - we really give them a workout at times, and our amp can really work a set of speakers. Surround and centre speakers (not Yamaha) have been destroyed and replaced, but these babies just keep on handling it with ease.

Typical of rubbish sold to the uninitiated – So you finally relent and upgrade to an expensive smart tv, the sound is tinny and you find out this is the norm so you relent to the pressure you… Read more

need a soundbar, you research like mad and choose a product from a manufacturer historically connected to music and sound, and you get what? Sound out of sync, so after brain bashing research come across something called PCM?, OK, that fixed that one but who knows what that was all about, then there is four buttons for presets rather than an equalizer interface in the minimalist interface of the mobile app, and there is no difference between any of them, and while you are trying different settings, the soundbar seized up the TV and it has to be reset to get control back, and the woofer boom just keeps vibrating under everything no matter what settings you tweek on the TV, an absolute waste of money and it's back in the box and now my biggest problem is where to store it or do I just GIVE it back to the shop because it's yet another product making money from the uninitiated caught out by the marketing with no recourse to get a refund once it's been unpacked. Advice!? Spend a hell of allot more money but get s degree in sound engineering first because the whole subject is just too difficult to understand unless all you want to do is blow your ears out, or just put up with the tinny sound from the expensive smart TV. What a con this whole television industry has become!

Great value, full of features. Excellent sound – I had a Cambridge azur 650 that died and checked the market for a good stereo unit and decided that the Yamaha R-N602 was ideal given features,… Read more

including streaming, WiFi, Bluetooth and for me a phono connection was critical.

Rather than buy a number of devices this unit met all my needs.

Connecing to wifi the set up was easy ignoring the SSID and PWD process for entering alphanumeric characters. An ethernet connection is simple. Other connections were simple.

I've hooked it up to a Rega planar 1 turntable and a pair of Apollo speakers by Orpheus (fantastic Australian made quality speakers).

The performance is excellent. Playiny vinyls the sound definitions are clearer than I've heard before, plosive and sibilant sounds are so clear. Instruments sounds are very defined and don't blur in an overall sound.

The music cast app works well. Streaming radio stations works well. Spotify etc work well. If you also want FM AM radio it's good quality.

Overall it's great value for money if you want a solid receiver that works really well with a variety of sources.

It's early days I admit and I'll provide an update if issues arise.

Love it! – It's one of the best I've played. With solid, high quality sound at performance/professional level without breaking the bank. Certainly won't regret this purchase and it's holding the value strong.

average at best – I purchased this setup only due to my 20 year old Logitech Z-680 sound system blowing a fuse. So I thought it was time to upgrade to the latest and… Read more

greatest speakers, and so I stumbled across the Yamaha YHT-1810 that held great reviews and recommendations etc... I was on to a winner, so I thought. However, the sound system is nothing on what the 20 year old Logitech Z-680 was. It doesn't even come close. The sound is horrible, the bass (of what bass there is) is horrible. It has been the biggest disappointment. It is extremely hard to make out what is being said through the speakers when watching the tv, I have tried all the different settings and adjustments yet, I am close to donating it to a charity bin.

Perhaps I have set it up wrong. I am open to suggestions.

This Amplifier Can Do Everything - Loudly – One of the best things about this amplifier is the options you have to connect to it - Bluetooth / Airplay / 7 HDMI inputs / USB / Music Streaming… Read more

(Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, Deezer etc), and you can also control it with voice controls via Amazon Alexa!

The best connection option is Yamaha's own app - Music Cast. It is such a simple app that just works, but not just for this amplifier - any other Music Cast enabled Yamaha product you have in your home. Music Cast really deserves its own review, it beats hands down anything else from any other brand. You can control multiple different devices, either playing different music to them all, or playing the same thing to every device or anything in-between. Anyway, back to the amplifier . . .

This amplifier is big and bold and in your face - 110 Watts to each speaker! What that means in the real world is that it is loud - so, so loud. You will have to ensure that your existing speakers can handle the power. It can send this massive power to 7 speakers, for true surround sound. If you want to use less speakers in your Home Theatre, you can send a separate output to a second area (Patio etc) - very handy.

It has the newest audio processing capabilities - Dolby Atmos, DTS, Cinema DSP which brings a true theatre sound into your own home. Compare the same movie on DVD in 5.1 with a copy on Bluray with DTS - you will hear new sounds, in different places, all around you. It's hard to believe it's the same movie.

The setup is so simple, you connect up all of the speakers, plug the included microphone into the amplifier and place it in the middle of your Home Theatre. It will begin a sound optimization analysis to account for reflection / acoustics / speaker positioning etc - it will even tell you if you have the speaker wires around the wrong way!

On the video side of things, this amplifier has 3 HDMI outputs so you can pass through any of the video inputs to 3 separate screens (TV / Projector / different room). It also has video upscaling if your source is a poor quality.

I could talk about this amplifier all day long, it really ticks every single box for an A/V Reciever. Unless you absolutely NEED 9.1 or 11.1 (and realistically, whose Home Theatre is big enough for that?) this amplifier will do everything you need at home, for many years to come.

Beautiful sound but unresponsive controls and ear cushioning kept coming off – I used these primarily with Bluetooth connection which provided amazing sound and seamless transition device to device. Sound and max volume were… Read more

amazing, as was the wireless range.

HOWEVER, I ended up returning mine as I got sick of the ear padding getting looser each time it came off, to the point where just removing the headphones would cause the cushioning to dismount. The return process was easy and quick.

I hope they bring out a redesigned version of these as the sound was on point, but they need to address issues by redesigning to have: -Bose-like interchangeable ear pads with a better mounting system as the current design wears out and falls off. -physical buttons for controls, or finely tune the current touch controls; volume up and down worked fine as did pause/play, but good luck forwarding or rewinding a track.

They've completely upgraded my setup. The sound is rich and balanced, but what really stands out is the deeper bass and it’s clean, not overpowering. Perfect for both music and movies. The build feels solid.

watching TV. Never thought much about it just kept switching it back on. Today Oct 20 2023 I called Yamaha support only to be told it’s not under warranty and the sound bar needs to be serviced. As the unit is just out of warranty I stated I might as well throw it out and replace it. The Yamaha service representative agreed with me. Tells you everything you need to know about Yamaha product quality and Yamaha after sales service. I do not recommend Yamaha and will never buy a Yamaha product again. Buyer beware when dealing with Yamaha.

years ago was struck by a lightning surge which took out the HDMI board. However the amp still works as a preamp to another amp I have. The RX-3040 I bought to replace the damaged 2020 was fantastic and only upgraded it because of the need to support 4K video. The marantz I chose to replace this didn't last very long before blowing its power supply, which has been fixed but not before I replaced it with the RX-A6A. This new amp is excellent, I can't fault it. The sound is fantastic and the features are great although I'm sure I don't use enough of them. Yamaha Aventage series have proven to be excellent quality with great sound performance and very reliable. I do recommend them, but listen to one first as everyone has different preferences when it comes to sound quality.

This is the perfect bedroom sound system & clock radio ! – I stumbled upon this great little micro system form Yamaha. Turned out to be what I have been looking for, for a very long time. I have gone through… Read more

a large number of portable players and clock radios to find something that satisfies my wants. The Yamaha MCR-B020 looks like it does! Lets start with design. It has a sleek modern layout which is clean, yet simple and elegant. It is small enough for small rooms as it can be setup with speakers next to the main unit, or separated from the main unit. Now functionality. Remember, for me, this is for use in the bedroom, so the criteria is as follows: Needs a large clear display for the clock function-it has it. Needs an alarm function-it has it. Needs to save all settings- it can hold all settings without power for around 1 hours. Needs Bluetooth-it has it. Needs a USB port for charging-it has it. Needs a remote controller-it has it. Needs a FM radio with a 75 ohm antenna socket-it has it. And for other handy features that I like but are not critical for me. It has a single CD deck, an AUX input on the rear, simple clip type connections for the speaker wires, headphone jack and USB storage device playback, and charging. The MCR-B020 also has a calendar with the clock display and two alarm functions, built in sound and the audio source you set. For a small unit it has very good sound, and there is a good array of sound settings for the Low, Mid & High ranges. It will also allow you to setup "repeat" & "shuffle" settings with data music CD's and USB storage. The MCR-B020 also features an array of interesting additional features such as: ECO mode, Standby mode, 3 adjustable EQ settings, Balance, Dimmer, Power Saving & Auto Power Standby. All these are easily accessed and adjusted. The instruction booklet is clear, simple and comprehensive. You can play music at low volumes and there is no hissing sound from the speakers, and the CD mechanism is quiet when operating. Tuning radio stations is simple, as is setting up the unit itself. The overall quality and finish is very good, as is the overall sound, considering it's size. I highly recommend this unit if your wanting something compact, yet capable of delivering decent sound, and doubling as a clock radio. It is from a very reputable company, so I don't expect any issues.

Yamaha Always delivers excellent Sound – This is an excellent 4K receiver with plenty of power for a full cinema setup capable of 7.2.4. This replaced my 1080P Yamaha receiver. The sound is… Read more

always excellent as Yamaha traditionally is. There is a comprehensive range of inputs and outputs and always more than enough HDMI inputs.

Setup was a little difficult, but upon reading the instructions afterwards, Yamaha ask you to download an app to your phone and setup from your phone and presto! So easy. Be sure to get the app!

The remote is nowhere near as good as previous Yamaha remotes and there is so much scrolling required, where there was always direct buttons previously. I haven't enjoyed the remote at all and would rate this as the only bug-bear, otherwise this is an excellent receiver worthy of a place in any home cinema setup.

Amazing Sound, minimal space – I have been using the Yamaha Integrated Audio System ISX-B820 for a month now and I must say it it amazing! When I received the box it was heavy so… Read more

first thought was it was a good solid system. The items in the box was the actual speaker system/box, power cable, remote control, stand, a very heavy base, screws, usb/iPhone slot covers and user manual. It was very simple to put together with the directions provided.

Now to the actual unit. the speaker box dimensions are Height and length 16" depth 3.5" and height on stand 39". The stand can be adjusted to be up against the wall (half base) or in the open (full round base). The read out is simple and clear yet not to dazzling on the eye. It has usb, iPhone/iPod, Aux, CD, Bluetooth and radio and the iPhone input is for the iPhone 4 so you will need an adapter for the iPhone 5. The Bluetooth works well and I have 2 laptops, Toshiba tablet and my iPhone linked to It and it was very simple to do. It also has a 10mtr range.

All controls are on the top of the unit with flat buttons nothing bulky so very streamline. The CD slot auto feeds when you place the CD into the top. The sound quality it excellent as expected by Yamaha. It is crisp and clear and has perfect bass. There is no distortion to the sound quality no matter how loud you put the speaker.

The remote is a nice size and can even choose the next song if streaming from the laptop without touching the laptop. There is also an app for the iPhone to use with it. In all I must say with the recommended price tag of $999 you will not be disappointment with this simple yet very stylish speaker that certainly packs a punch. 6 audio functions, wireless, minimal space needed, Great sound quality

A really nice keyboard arranger – I highly recommend the Yamaha PSR-SX900 keyboard arranger. The sounds are realistic and natural. Also of most importance is the touch of the non… Read more

weighted keys is very nice and has a slight “click” feel. This creates a better ability to play the keys as they are non weighted. Some other keyboards for the same price have very spongy zero feel type keys, which I find difficult to play. Also the keys can be pressed almost up to the extreme end (near fallboard area I mean) and they don’t get harder to press. The styles are extraordinary! There’s so many to choose from. It’s quite a complex instrument to get around, the learning curve is rather steep, however, everything is logical and not too difficult as all. It’s plenty loud enough, with a good tone quality, however, I would prefer more power and sonority. I compared it with a Korg pa1000 which is more powerful, but a MUCH steeper learning curve. I have both and will keep both! I am still learning my way around the keyboard. I must say the sounds of the cello, violins and clarinets etc are very realistic. You will not be disappointed with the SX900!

starting. All wiring is correct. It is not played loud at all. Im not game enough to turn it up due to the crackling speaker. The sound is otherwise ok. Not outstanding. Next time I will stick with Logitech. I went back to Yamaha for quality. Seems its gone. Very cheap plastic speakers! Update. After emailing Yamaha they are sending out a replacement centre speaker rather than box it all up and return it to Harvey Norman. While I appreciate the gesture its not worth sending a whole unit back for one speaker.
