Question 1

So can this fit a total of 4 100watt speakers at once OR 4 25watt speakers at most?

Accepted Answer

I'm running 4 speakers of the older model version rs201, 2 bic Venturi and 2 bic formula running at the same time. What I noticed is that the Venturi thats connected on the SP B channel is more louder than the Formula ones on SP A. Originally I had the setup with the 2 Formula only and sounded good, adding the Venturi it did made the whole sound a bit louder considering sound now comes from 4 speakers so i have to dial down from the usual 60% to sometimes 50% on the volume knob. I dont care for more loudness, I was more curious if the receiver can handle 4 speakers at once and it does just the channel SP A loses little power but the overall package of 4 speakers besides getting louder it filled up the room with much richer sound vs having only 2 speakers. I got the Venturi speakers for $30 of local listings and they look new, so i added couple of fans on top of the Yamaha just in case it heats up a lot. The 2 speakers and 2 fans cost me $45 in total and well worth upgrade, no complaints from the Yamaha RS201 I have been having it for almost 10 years and works as it should.

Question 2

What is the Bluetooth range

Accepted Answer

It’s not very far…. I purchased a separate Bluetooth extender and now have 300 ft range

Question 3

can i hook up my turmtable as well?

Accepted Answer

I have a question more than answer. My turntable is the rather cheap, ION LP mp3 converter, it has a built in preamp, has a pair of red white RCA output. BUT, WHEN I PLUG IT INTO THE #3 RCA PORT, AS INDICATED ON THE PRODUCT PAGE FOR TURNTABLE, the speakers have no sound. Now, my "speaker" is a Yamaha HS5 monitor, it's hooked to the OUT RCA port via a 1/4" jack at the back of the monitor. I suppose I'll have to use proper hi-fi speakers connected via the loose wire ports?

Question 4

Even though there is no subwoofer output, can one be connected anyway?

Accepted Answer

You can just run the bare speaker wire to the input on the subwoofer.  Most subwoofers have a high level speaker wire input and output. Run the output wires to your REAR satalight speakers so they don't have to produce the lower tones anyways. You can then use the frequency knob to adjust the output cut off level. Run it at about 80 to 100 kh. Should be fine. Run bigger towers up front with no subwoofer.  There ya go. Works perfectly this way. This is how I have my setup with my S202 Yamaha stereo receiver.!!!
