So you went pffft when you saw the power rate. Let me tell you how powerful 50 watts per channel is. It's plenty of power to fill my uncluttered, unfinished 40x45x9 basement gym with fatigue free, warm, sound. Turn the volume up to about 75% (you will have to shout to be heard) and you can dance to the music while standing outside 60 ft. away on my front sidewalk. If you listen at that level I feel for your neighbors and your hearing. I prefer conversation level so I have the volume at about 10% and maybe half of that for background level. I live in south New Jersey and by attaching the supplied single wire antenna I get perfect FM reception from both Atlantic City and Philadelphia. You can fine tune your preferred sound by setting the Variable Loudness. I work from home and music is my passion so the unit's on day and night yet feels room temperature to the touch. With a damping factor of 150 this 2.1 amp cleanly powers a pair of 4 way, KLH floor standers with the giant 15'' woofers and sends signal to a Polk 50 watt sub. On the RS-300's front panel there's a dimmable display, a Pure Direct button to bypass the display and all coloration, separate bass, treble, balance knobs and A or B or A+B speaker switches. In the rear you can connect a Phono w/ground, CD, 2 separate Tape/Record players, and an auxiliary line, a subwoofer jack and an impedance switch to match 4, 6, or 8 ohm speakers. All sources sound great but there's something special in the detail and bass listening to CDs with the Pure Direct. For me the true test of a set-up is DO YOU LISTEN TO IT and as stated I play it all the time and enjoy all genres. The RS-300 has been discontinued but if you can find one buy it, I gave it 5 stars. Weakness:
Employing the Variable Loudness DECREASES the volume. Enabling the Pure Direct feature will override the loudness function and INCREASE the volume instantly. You should LOWER the volume significantly before utilizing Pure Direct or you could damage your speakers or worse your hearing. Also the rear speaker jacks do not accept dual banana plugs or spades, you may use single plugs or bare wire. Price Paid: $199 on sale

The Yamaha R-S300 is a very old school but a very good performing receiver. By "old school", I mean that more functions can be done at the receiver instead of via the remote. Examples? 1) You cannot scan for radio stations with the remote. That has to be done at the receiver. However, the remote can control radio stations stored in user preset memory. 2) If you shut off the receiver with the remote, it only goes into stand-by. If you push the power switch on the receiver, the receiver completely shuts off. 3) When plugging in headphones, the speakers say on until you manually shut off the speakers at the receiver. DO NOT let this old school functionality turn you away, because such operation puts you in greater control and makes for fewer things to go wrong. If you lose the remote or something goes wrong with it, you can still operate the receiver flawlessly. The Yamaha R-S300 is a very good sounding receiver and just plain easy to operate. Don't let the 50 watts per channel rating turn you away. It is very adequate power for all but the most power hungry speakers. |
