Please log in for more thread options Hi All, Fairly new to all of this, and although I have done lots of reading it still boggles the mind with all the details and features one should look for. I want a quality audio receiver which can handle HDMI input for HDTV (Sony Grand Wega 55"). I've landed so far on the Yamaha RX-V1600 which in canadian prices I've been quoted so far $1100. So questions that come to mind, what would be comparable receivers in quality and price range that I should be comparing thsi receiver to, and is $1100 a fair price or are their online stores that have them cheaper? If anyone has one and want to comment, I have already read many reviews from users and am comfortable with this level of receiver, just having a hard time figuring out what other brands and models to compare it to. Thanks in advance for any information you may offer. Happy New Year!!! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

I used Yamaha car audio and amps, receivers over the years. Never let me down. Out at my cabin I have an even older/lesser HTR-5650 which is still working fine and sounds good. And don't forget good speakers. Get best you can afford. Good luck. Tony Calgary | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

did you look at the RXV-2600? The unit is a little bit more, but packs more bang for the buck! I have the 2600 and its f'n fantastic. I just recently paired it with a Harmony 880 remote to control all my devices.. another wise choice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Harmony 880 is so easy to use. Now peace in our family room. My speakers are Infinity. Tony | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thanks, I did look at the RXV-2600 but I was told that the only diff was like you said a bit more power. The room isn't huge so I think the RX-1600 will do me fine. I agree with the Harmony, although I was more leaning towards the 628, the 880 would defiantley be nice, but I'm buying a TV, new Reciever and new speakers all at the same time. Gotta give somewhere :-( Thanks again for the opinions! > jkalina@gmail.com wrote:
