Yamaha’s R-N1000A is pricey yet approachable, with a hardy mix of versatile connectivity, superb performance, and rocksteady usability.

The unit's vented frame weighs a healthy 27 pounds and stands 6 inches tall, over 17 inches across, and 15.5 inches deep.

Yamaha 's MusicCast app displays conveniences like album art and digital file resolution.

Yamaha 's R-N1000A receiver has built-in streaming services, including Pandora , Pandora , Amazon Music , Deezer , and Sirius XM .

The remote has all the controls, settings, inputs, and speaker zones, but it'd be nice to get a backlit model at this price.

The tonal color is clear yet resigned, offering a relatively neutral accentuation of speakers’ best traits without getting in the way.

Yamaha ’s R-N1000A provides way more good stuff without going into the “crazy” price zone.

Not everyone needs this much power, precision, or connectivity.

Those with basic TV setups could go cheaper with stripped-down options like the Wiim Amp or Sonos Amp .
