Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Receivers
I bought the receiver about 4 weeks ago. To be ounust the specs and operation manual downloaded from the manufacturer gave me a clear picture on what I'm bidding. I own a Harmon Kardon RV-335, which work pretty well. Clear sound and power enough for any party. Reason for the buy reproducing quality could not worse then the Harmon, but the connectivity gives you a broder range as multimedia center. Received the Yamaha take a weekend to connect the speakers first and start the set up with the microphone. First surprise the Yamaha checks the loudspeacker connected without breack by the missing subwoofer as the Harmon do. Phase incorrect connected; the Yamaha told which out of the seven is. Size of speackers; the Yamaha find them all correct as well as distance, difference in efficiency for identical speakcers, equaliser correction and optimisasion by frequency low/high frequency. Need due to own fault 3 program runs, but the result is optimal. Try out of music play, perfect reproducing of any kind of music, whether rock, classic, caribbic or what ever comes on. Then phon input with the turntable; music of a warm tone from vinyl as long missed. Connection to the PC for internet radio ok. quality depends on the input station; but easy to play any kind of music stored. Media center of its best for any brand of music. The warm and fine precision makes any concert come to live as you where in the original concert hall. Its also a perfect combination with TV and movies. Its like you have the cinnema in your living room. Ok, the best receiver is nothing without quality speackers. I relay on the old Kennwood speackers. 5 way, 6 speackers. Bass 17", middle 6" and 4 high frequency. Makes 20 Hz to 22000 Hz at efficiency of 98 dB. 6 of them supercides any subwoofer. And here the Yamahy gives his full potential, because the software reacts in the optimisation to a full sound profile. Who ever has heard the car door slamming in with the plop from the back news what reproduction of the reality is worth. The Harmon plays whith its power following each in/decrease immediately, but the Yamaha does this without any aggression. Simply perfect. The difference is, the Harmon need more power to reproduce a individual piano key plaing or guitar solo than the Yamaha. Video section at the time being not tested, therefore no comment to that. Quality is not a phrase, its subject to the expirience of the manufacturer. If you like beat at is best the Harmon is the choice for you. If you like music at the highest quality try the Yamaha. Its worth I'm believingRead full review
