Your receiver should work fine in almost any environment. These speakers highly efficient bass reflex design.

a receiver has 3 main parts: 1-amp, 2-preamp, and 3-tuner. so you already have an amp built in to a receiver.

How does Yamaha RX-V667 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver goes along with this?

No unless you buy a separate preamp. I don't know any new receivers that do.

If you go out to the Yamaha US website, they do a side by side comparison of the two. Try this link: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx/?selected=372793_372783_&mode;=compare

BTW - only the sub is from the old system. I have a set of Yamaha's for the r/c/l set-up. :)

Hello Fred, I never used a Nakamichi receiver before, just tape decks, but I had a Carver HR-722 which failed after 20+ years of faithful service, most probably similar to your unit. After a long research I picked the Yamaha R-S700 and I am very happy with it. This is a 100 W x2 receiver, 2x 4 ohms or 4x 8 output, 2 recorders inputs, CD, 2 aux inputs (line 2 & 3), phono, pre/main separation, tuner, zone 2 for a second amplifier, subwoofer output, and connections for Sirius and iPod (this last 2 requires additional peripherals not included). Can't compare any current receiver since don't have you receiver model, just the brand, but I am sure that any received from the R-Sxxx product line from Yamaha will do the job.

Stephen G., I'm interested in connecting 2 receivers and switching between them. I have a modern home theater receiver (Yamaha RX-V477) and a vintage receiver (Realistic STA-76 circa 1975). Each one does some things better than the other and I want to easily switch between them depending on what I want to do (like play vinyl on the vintage) and watch movies on the home theater receiver. If you know of something that can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi. I believe that you may need to purchase an adapter for your PC to be able to connect the yamaha receiver because most of the PC desktop especially the old ones don't have an audio input. You can contact the manufacturer to ask for any suggestion on what you can get for your PC. thanks

I am not technically-inclined enough to give you an answer directly, but have you looked at everything here?http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/aventage/rx-a3020_black_u/

I use a Yamaha RX-V663 but any good amp should do. I run 7.1 so I got an amp that will do 7.1. If you are running 5.1, you won't need that.

I agree, the best to use separates if you can afford. I have used both separates and high quality receivers and believe the Yamaha Aventage separates are superior.

Any consumer AV receiver or plain old stereo receiver will work fine. Yamaha works great. Costco (when they have em) and Amazon sell Yamaha AVR and receivers at great prices. If you are using them outside from your main set up, just make sure you get one that has A and B speakers. If using as rear surround for 5.1 it won't have that but, you won't need it. If you do, look for a 7.1 system with AB.

Hi, look at the back of the receiver....you will find the YAMAHA logo and on the left side you will see the front and back jacks(one is white and the other is red) for the sub. If you need more help please ask.

I bought a subwoofer cable and it only had one output while the subwoofer itself has two. The receiver has one input for the subwoofer. I've seen a lot of questions about this and it looks like the solution is a Y cable. You may also want to look at some speaker stands. You could make installation easier if you have the stands near your walls.

What I'd seriously do is find one in the flesh and look carefully at the back. Now I bought one of them and wasn't too keen about it so I got one from another party for my shop with an equalizer For the house I looked and got a pioneer vex 51 series because its one of he last ones with stereo jacks and maybe at the older pioneer Yamaha Sony receivers and get a Pyle pro eq like I did outstanding sound Hope this helps so let me know.
