Yamaha boasts over 60 years of history as an audio brand. And the technology of R-N803D comes directly from Yamahaʼs legendary Hi-Fi design concept ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology), which faithfully maintains the integrity of the audio by combining a meticulously symmetrical left / right circuit layout and signal directness (straightest, shortest signal paths) with a low-vibration chassis of high rigidity, equipped with the special resin frame "Art Base” that absorbs and blocks unnecessary vibration. It maintains sonic purity and accurate stereo image of the music to create unshakeable drivability.

The MM7055 power amplifier produces 140 watts of high current output from each of its five channels.  This is "real world” power, too, measured across the full audio bandwidth (20 Hz – 20 kHz) at 8 ohms with 0.08% Total Harmonic Distortion.  Among other attributes, this means the MM7055 is capable of long-term power delivery into low impedance speakers.
