I have the opportunity to purchase this receiver at a cheap price.
Just wanted to know if it is any good.
All replies appreciated.

Cheap as in $55 cheap.
I did a little more research....
I actually owned that model and stupidly sold it for 75 bucks. I had no idea at the time it had 150 w/ch. It looks like it should have 75 max.
The build quality on the boards and pots is so so. I had lots of cold solder joints and interconnection problems with mine.
Still it's TOTL and POWERFUL. I'd just use the power amp via the main in jacks.
Raphaz, could you please give us more information about the repair work you had done on the Yamaha R-2000? What did you have replaced, how much did it cost, who did it?
I've got an R-2000 as well that's been acting up as of late (same symptoms, volume drops, sound becomes thin, etc.). I'd like to narrow down the possible causes, and figure out if/how to fix it, or whether to just pick up a different amp. There's a lot about this unit that I really love, and haven't found an adequate replacement system, so I'm leaning toward fixing it.
Thanks.
