This or the Yamaha RX-A1030/40? I care mostly about sound quality and receiver reliability.

I have had the X4000 for about two months now and I am very happy with it. I have not heard the Yamaha unit so I can not speak for that. I am using Infinity speakers in a 7.1 setup and it sounds awesome and gets very loud when I want it to. I use it mostly for movies.

That is Personal Preference and subjective, I can't comment on the current Yamaha Line up but feel that Denon seems to be one of the leading edge AVR's these days. Their Auddessy Setup is really awesome as it automatically measures the distances and sets the proper levels of the speakers for you.

I had the marantz 1403 at one time and can tell you it was a great receiver not the 1504 which is higher model but for me this yamaha 600 by having had both brands beats marantz in both music and movies with better clarity and dynamics go to Sound&vision; web and you will see review of the Yamaha S600 audio for example receive from the experts 4.5 out of 5

Onkyo has a couple lines that are really nice for fairly cheap (comparatively, of course). You have the TX-NR5XX series which are really good intro receivers. The TX-NR8XX series will get you closer to your $1k limit but worth the price. Pretty much anything Denon will get you at a good spot. You can even find some decent Harmon Kardon pieces for under $1k if you shop around. Personally I am not a fan of Yamaha or Pioneer but that is a personal preference as I know several who have had great success with those manufacturers too but YMMV. Hope you find something that fits your needs!

The CX 680 is ur best bet with regards to durability and longevity. I even accidently washed and dried it with my clothes and still works like brand new even after almost 2 yrs later. The sound quality and base is fantastic.

Until I got the CX-A500BL I was of the thought that separate components where better. Having a processor and separate amplifier was my choice. However, The Yamaha CX-A 5000 changed my mind! This unit is awesome.

Help to choose between Onkyo TX-SR608 receiver and Pioneer VSX-1020-K. They both have their pros and cons, and prices are the same.

I like Bang and Olufsen but they are very expensive. I would say look into yamaha speakers and try to get high power speakers to handle this receiver. The receiver has a lot of power. thanks

Overall, the sonic and tonal quality is similar, but there are going to be subtle differences between the RX-A830 and RX-A1030 depending on the speakers and source connection. The RX-A1030 (and up) use different Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) than the RX-A830, and can offer a bit more clarity and detail in some situations (with digital inputs as opposed to Analog). Much depends on the capabilities and requirements of the speakers - Since the amplifier power output of these two receivers is fairly similar, there will not be a dramatic sonic difference with typical "mainstream" speakers that are reasonably easy to drive, particularly from analog sources. But, the ESS DACs in the RX-A1030 can offer that slight improvement, and for some it's enough improvement to pay the difference.

I have an Onkyo tuner and the yamaha cd player. Love them both. I tend to gravitate towards both these brands when buying stereo components through the years.

I have never listened to the AV 40's, so all I know is what I've read in the past. The AV's have better connectivity and features, the A2's seem to have the edge in sound and lasting quality. Compare the features and see if that decides it for you.

I returned the Pioneer SC-72 and bought a Yamaha 2030 that I am very pleased with.

I'm not familiar with the Yamaha. I have been using Pioneer Elite receivers for my home theater set up since I switched from separate amps and processors many years ago. Never had a problem with any of them. Some of the old units I gave to family members are still going strong.

I use a Qinpu A-6000 MKII and its perfect, the sound is amazing. If you don't have the speakers already, you might want to consider a powered subwoofer too, as these really don't have any kick to them at all. I rounded out my setup with a Yamaha NS-SW210.

No the ohms won't matter. If your receiver has the subwoofer RCA port you can run that to the subwoofer. If not you can wire it through the speakers. I would try both and see if you notice any difference and choose the one that gives you the best performance. I've had the best luck, performance and reliability with Yamaha receivers. I have one thats 15 years old and is great. It has the digital optical port for the Dolby Digital surround sound so I haven't bothered getting a newer one. I referred my friend to the Yamaha RXV 377 and she loves it.

I don't have the Onkyo 7030 but I ever owned an old Onkyo which just died after &gt; 10 years. Personally I think Onkyo is better in details but I choose Yamaha because the convenience of USB port.

Yamaha according with my experience ,is the must prestigious brand, and this mixer in particularly have better equalizers and one more aux,also compressors, and 8 more effects so you don't need to be insecure about it.good lock!!
