    Yamaha has hit a home run!!!

    All I can say is, “WOW” I’m in just in awe with this receiver!! I was very hesitant to get a Yamaha receiver because of the previous models' issues. The new A8A is a brand new platform from the ground up. From sound to all HDMI 2.1 Inputs. The A8A is one of the best receivers that I’ve ever owned!!! I also own a Denon 4500H, and the A8A surpassed that receiver in every direction from sound to settings. The only issue with this receiver is the missing 4K/120 8K/60 pass-through. Yamaha claims to have an FW coming out by the end of this year. I’m hoping that I have no issues with it. Also, I wish the A8A have IMAX sound and a bigger front display screen. Besides those minor issues, I consider this receiver one of the best in its class at this price point.

    Excellent design, build, and features. This receiver is well worth the purchase. Overall options, settings interface, and audio quality is satisfactory. HDMI inputs with V1.80 Firmware upgrade make this a powerhouse, with clarity, and everything you could need for audio visual control for at least the next year or two. The ability to drive two front channel Yamaha NS-1000 with A B&W center, and a Klipsch 12” powered subwoofer, either fine tuning is awesome. Much more stability and reliability than my previous Onkyo TX-NR797.

    Amazing Reciever, bad shipping.

    Very excited to replace my 6 year old Marantz receiver. After the UPS guy dropped of my receiver at my front door, I noticed some damage to the box. Upon opening the box and inspecting the receiver I found a dent on the side of the receiver. Called up Best Buy customer service and they were not able to replace the unit because they had none other in stock. They only offered a 10% discount on the unit. I was very unsatisfied with his resolution and stated that I will return the unit and just tried to get it else where, because due to the damage I don't know how well the receiver will hold up through the years. 1 week later, I found the receiver in stock at Crutchfield and received the unit free from any damage from them. After wiring everything up, my living room became even more alive with this new receiver. Movies and Music are night and day difference. Highly recommend this unit as long as you can get it shipped without any damage. Spoked to Lenny at Real Audio and he stated that they way Yamaha pre installs their antennas to the receiver, there's not enough packaging in the box to prevent damage and they usually will take the unit out and repackage it when they sell it to customers.

    Extra power made difference for me

    I really didnt need to upgrade yet but they had a flash sale and im glad i jumped on it. My previous Yamaha was no slouch, an RX880BL but I wanted the latest Hdmi and have been curious about another 50 watts per channel. I am only running 5.1 setup but plan to run ceiling speakers. I will tell you i wasnt happy orginally until i shut off the all dolby virtual speakers. Hence, If you are not getting the results you want, dont stop trying different settings. I used the Yapao and didnt need any adjustments except making my center channel “small” like rest of speakers. Ypao always wants to make my Klipchs RP600C large for some reason. I prefer using the amps crossover and sending all the bass to to my SVS 2000 Pro. This is my 3rd Yamaha receiver and i am glad i didnt stray from the path.

    Yamaha Quality

    RXA8A has been more than hoped for. This receiver has given me back Dolby Atmos sound with extreme clarity and immersion to all of the speakers in my system including the 4 height speakers. This Yamaha receiver is also very sturdy and durable with I think assurance of many trouble free years of audiophile enjoyment.
