After a bad experience with a refurbed A/V receiver from an East coast supplier (different brand) i bought the Yammie V1500 from the local Good Guys (Tukwila WA). With purchases like this I am prepared to pay extra and buy up close and personal, so I have a lapel I can grab in case of trouble. This... Read full review »

Pros Power, Clarity, Ease of use
Cons Line of sight remote
Recommended it? Yes

Looking between the Pioneer Elite VSX-52TX, we looked at the difference in our local home audio store. The salesman put a cd in from the pioneer elite, and then from a lesser model Yamaha receiver, not the 1500. You could definitely tell that the Yamaha clearly had the edge- over all aspects of the...

Pros Good manual, lots of inputs, plenty of power, easy remote
Cons Amps can't drive both 7.1 and Zone 2 at the same time.
Recommended it? Yes

The Yamaha RX-V661 is a good starting point to enter the world of 7.1 surround sound. It has the features you would need to not only have the best in surround sound (7.1), but also to drive speakers playing a different source in a second zone--although not both at the same time!

Pros Good value and features for price.
Cons Remote is tricky. Input options aren't always great.
Recommended it? Yes

I got a quick reply from Yamaha on the issue below - there is an option for re-assigning digital inputs and outputs. Worked like a charm.

This system was easy to set up right out of the box. The optimizer microphone made good adjustments and the 4 listening templates were simple to alter... Read full review »
