The R200A is an integrated amplifier by Yamaha that delivers 100 watts x 2 channels into 8 ohms (40 Hz-20 kHz, 0.2% THD); dynamic power 125/150/165/180 watts into 8/6/4/2 ohms. It was released in October 2026. It is a 2-channel design. Speakers connect via binding posts. It also has a phono input, so a turntable can connect straight to it. The Yamaha R200A has an MSRP of $300.
Yamaha replaced the older Yamaha R-S202 with this model. Follow the link to read our detailed comparison of these models:

There are 6 Yamaha amplifiers in our database. Below you can see the main specs of these amps.
Yamaha Stereo Receiver Series
Performance Specs
One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements. The Yamaha R200A is rated at 100 watts RMS into 8-ohms. Yamaha provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of 0.2% which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).
Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:
- 100 watts into 8-ohms (40 Hz-20 kHz) at 0.2%
Built-in Sources
Most integrated amplifiers expect you to bring your own source. Yamaha R200A does not:

We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current
delivery.
Need more power?
Yamaha R200A is rated at 100 watts into 8 ohms, which puts it in our 91 to 120 watts band. The next band up is 121 to 180 watts, which is worth about 1.5dB more output. That is a real difference in headroom on peaks, and a modest one in how loud the system plays - power and loudness are not the same thing.
Before buying watts, check what your speakers actually need: the amp and speaker matcher works it out from their sensitivity, impedance and your room. Plenty of systems are better served by the 61 to 90 watts band and better speakers.
When pairing the Yamaha R200A with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels.
Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.

Yamaha R200A Pros and Cons
Drawn from the published figures on this page, not from listening.
- ✓100 watts per channel into 8 ohms.
- ✓Phono stage built in, so a turntable needs no separate preamplifier.
- ✓Bluetooth (version 5.3) for playing straight from a phone.
- ✓Pre-outs (Mono RCA (Sub)) leave room to add a power amplifier or an active subwoofer later.
- ✓A and B speaker terminals, for a second pair or for bi-wiring.
- ✓Built-in AM/FM with 40 presets tuner.
- ✗Analogue inputs only - a TV, computer or CD transport needs an external DAC.
