Yamaha Aventage RX-A2070 9.2 4K Network AV Receiver DTS X Dolby True HD

Description

Up for sale is my powerhouse Yamaha RX-A2070 from Yamaha’s prestigious AVENTAGE audiophile line. Weighing in at a massive 18 kg this is a serious piece of engineering built for buyers who want true, effortless Hi-Fi stereo sound alongside immersive 9.2-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X home cinema setups.

Unlike lightweight, entry-level receivers that run out of steam or sound harsh when turned up, the RX-A2070 features an oversized power transformer, heavy extruded aluminum heatsinks, and discrete Class AB amplification. I have used it to power demanding floorstanding tower speakers (Monitor Audio Gold and Silver 300s) in Pure Direct stereo mode, and it drives full-range bass with total authority, crystal-clear separation, and zero strain.

Key Audiophile & Engineering Highlights:
• True High-Current Clean Power: Conservative 140W RMS per channel (8 ohms, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.06% THD) with massive dynamic headroom scaling up to 285W into 4 ohms and 405W into 2 ohms. Effortlessly grips difficult floorstanding speakers.

• Dual ESS SABRE9006AS Premier DACs: Equipped with two 8-channel audiophile-grade SABRE DACs and an Independent Pure Power Supply that isolates delicate digital/preamp circuits from power-amp noise for a whisper-quiet background and detailed treble.

• Pure Direct Mode: Bypasses video circuits, DSP, and the front display, routing audio straight through a high-grade analog volume IC for pure two-channel Hi-Fi music listening.

• Tank-Like 17 kg AVENTAGE Build: Features Yamaha’s signature A.R.T. (Anti-Resonance Technology) Wedge fifth foot directly under the transformer, an internal H-shaped cross frame, and a solid aluminum front panel to eliminate micro-vibrations.

• 9.2-Channel Processing & 7.2 Pre-Outs: Powers up to 9 speakers simultaneously (ideal for 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos / DTS:X setups without needing extra amps), plus 7.2 pre-outs if you ever want to add external power amplifiers.

• YPAO-R.S.C. 3D Room Calibration: Automatically measures room acoustics, speaker distances, and reflection angles to tailor the sound perfectly to your living space.

Connectivity & Smart Streaming:
• Built-In Streaming (MusicCast): Seamless Spotify Connect, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, AirPlay, Internet Radio, and native high-res playback (FLAC/WAV/AIFF up to 192kHz/24-bit and native DSD 2.8/5.6MHz) over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

• 4K Ultra HD HDMI: 8 HDMI inputs / 2 outputs supporting 4K/60p, HDCP 2.2, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG.

• Dedicated Phono Stage: Built-in Moving Magnet (MM) phono input ready for a turntable.
• Multi-Room Audio: Zone 2 / Zone 3 capability to power speakers in another room.

Condition & Included Items:
• Condition: Excellent cosmetic and working condition, well cared for in a smoke and pet-free home
• Included in Sale: Yamaha RX-A2070 Receiver, Original Remote Control, YPAO Calibration Microphone, Multi-point stand, Power Cable, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Antennas, Original Box/Packaging.
