Please log in for more thread options Hi kjb. I just recently puchased the Yamaha RX-V750 receiver (http://www.yamaha.ca/av/receivers.jsp?from=products) at $730 Canadian, and the Audition range of Athena speakers F2, B2, C1 (http://athenaspeakers.com/auditionSeriesSpeakers.htm) along with the AS-P400 subwoofer ($600, $200, $230, $380 Canadian respectively). I'm absolutely amazed at the quality of sound I'm getting, but I can't really compare it to anything else, since I listened to everything in stereo before this new setup. I've read reviews in which the editor says that for the quality of the Athena speakers, he would have expected a price tag of maybe double what they retail for. And Yamaha is a great brand for receivers, especially if you get an RX-V650 or higher, as it includes the YPAO, which automatically calibrates the speakers to give the best possible sound. My RX-V750 is considered mid-range, I think. Most of the serious audiophiles I've spoken to who have a Yamaha receiver have the RX-V1500 or 2500. There's so much to choose from, I know. Keep checking the online magazines/websites/archives (audioholics.com is my favourite) for articles and forums to help you figure it out. I also like ecoustics.com, which lists editor reviews and user reviews. Good luck! vij | |||||||||||||
