    Nice Upgrade From The RX-V385

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My previous Yamaha RX-V385 did excellent work for years, but its 70w/channel just wasn't suited for my new 100w speakers (yes, they work, but it degrades audio quality). The RX-V6A checked all the boxes and then some, it has features I will probably never use, such as the Front Presence or Rear Surround speaker options. Setup was quick & easy, with everything on the back panel clearly labelled. I appreciate being able to use banana plugs for the speaker connections. Audio quality with the 100w Klipsch speakers improved noticeably with more clarity, depth & definition than with the RX-V385. However, some features are difficult to access w/o sufficient explanation in the manual and I wish the front panel could display both decoder status & speaker status simultaneously (like on the RX-V385). However, that's minor and this AVR delivers where it matters most. I haven't owned it very long yet, but so far it's a worthy successor to the RX-V385.

    Good, but could be better. Very easy to use and plug and play, but I wish the zone output could be more configurable and not part of only two settings, but that could just be me wanting it to be more tweakable

    To be Disappointed with Yamaha?!:(

    So far the unit seems to be inconsistent at best. I've spent hours learning how to get into the advanced settings. This unit does not properly power my rear speakers, in many cases it's low power to all the speakers; sometimes it chucks and spits flames I'm so very confused how the unit can be pumping volume too the speakers one show; then I go to play a song and it sounds as though it's got spotty connection with bad wires. I know I set the unit up correctly; the plugin to center the speakers on your optimal room space also fails to perform it's whole cycle past the beeping 3d immersion on this device does not work. My speakers are extremely nice and I'm very disappointed with the surround sound quality and power delivery. It's very unbalanced after I've tuned and adjusted and reset back to stock. No help from best buy without paying for geek squad.! It's a pain I will be returning and purchasing a different reciever from micro-center. The bummer is that my father always had older Yamahas that clearly always outperformed this one; also the setting adjustments actually made clear differences in power delivery & sound performance. I'm not sure what went wrong?!
