    Audio files, love Yamaha for receivers. I’m not that and I was concerned that this receiver with only 80 W per channel would be enough power for my Klipsch speakers but it’s amazing that I can’t even turn the sound all the way up to zero DB because it’s too loud. And the music cast app works great and is exactly what I was looking for in a competitor to Sonos.

    Having owned this received for a little over 2 weeks, I have mixed reviews. I have owned a previous Yamaha receiver; I am very familiar with the brand. The set-up process was relatively easy. It’s very minimalist. Most of the functions need to be done using the remote. The screen display is very small. No possibility to adjust the bass and treble from the receiver. Other than that, I am still getting familiar with the different features. I wish there was a YouTube video, to make it more user friendly. Now I would suggest purchasing the receiver from a different vender than Best Buy. They only have 15 days to return, which I wasn’t aware of. This receiver is a replacement to a similar one. The power wouldn’t turn on, so I had to return it. If I decided to go with a different receiver, Best buy would’ve charged a restocking fee. No a great way to keep customers happy.

    This receiver was so easy to setup. It recognized my other connections with-out any extra steps. Also, the sound selections are great. Would recommend this receiver to anyone in need of an upgrade.

    I set up a 5.2 channel system with this home theater receiver. Main drivers are R- 51Ms, so definitely nothing too power hungry. I never have any background hum and thats really all I ask for. The filters are kinda gimmicky, some just add massive reverb, some feel muffled so i just keep it on 2 channel stereo for music, or all channel surround for movies. But generally speaking if all you need is a modest 5 channel system, this will certainly get the job done. Also, it seems to have a pass through feature when using HDMI from a device like an Xbox, if the amp is off it will pass over the audio to the TV. Surprisingly useful feature if you've got sleeping roommates.

    Husband said its Awesome!!! We had to replace our old one that completely died in the middle of an action movie that was not a fun Saturday evening. So naturally we needed to replace it before fnaf came out lol. We couldn't watch that movie without surround sound. Luckily it arrived earlier than expected!!
