Kann ihn mangels Hardware nicht testen, bekam ihn geschenkt. Wiegt circa 9 Kg, Abholung bevorzugt.
This €300 asking price is a strong bargain for a used Yamaha RX-V4A, sitting well below the 25th percentile of €307 and significantly under the median of €350 from five recent EUR listings. While new units still hover around €530–€550, the used market typically anchors near €350, making this a clear buying opportunity for anyone entering the AV receiver space.
The RX-V4A earns its reputation as a solid entry-level 5.2-channel receiver with 8K/60 Hz and 4K/120 Hz HDMI 2.1 support, perfect for modern gaming consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. It delivers clean 80W per channel, includes Yamaha’s CINEMA DSP 3D for immersive soundfields, and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for easy streaming. With no height-channel support for Dolby Atmos, it’s best suited for traditional 5.1 setups, but at €300 in good condition, it’s an excellent value for budget-conscious home theater builders.

Yamaha stands as one of the world's most storied audio manufacturers, with roots extending far beyond consumer electronics. Founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha in Hamamatsu, Japan, the company began as a reed organ manufacturer before expanding into pianos and eventually becoming a comprehensive musical instrument maker. This deep heritage in acoustics and materials science would prove foundational to its later audio ventures. The company operated under its original name, Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., until 1987, when it was renamed Yamaha Corporation in honor of its centennial.
Yamaha's entry into high-fidelity audio proved transformative for the industry itself. In 1954, the company released the Yamaha Hi-Fi Player, widely recognized as the world's first audio component to bear the "Hi-Fi" designation in its name. The company subsequently built a comprehensive product portfolio spanning amplifiers—beginning with the acclaimed A-100 in 1960—speakers, turntables, and digital audio equipment. The NS-1000 speakers, introduced in 1974 with beryllium drivers, became iconic reference monitors. Yamaha also pioneered digital audio technology, shipping the world's first CD recorder in 1988.
Today, Yamaha occupies a distinctive position as a mid-to-high-end generalist rather than a niche specialist. The brand commands respect among both casual listeners and serious audiophiles, balancing accessibility with genuine engineering credibility. Its reputation rests on six decades of consistent innovation, proven reliability, and the unique advantage of applying musical instrument expertise to audio reproduction. Vintage Yamaha components remain highly sought by collectors, while current products maintain the brand's tradition of delivering performance and durability across multiple price tiers.
