I've owned the Yamaha Rx-V385 since late 2019. It is AMAZING for the price. The built in DAC is top notch. Built in EQ etc etc love the sound for music and movies. When you add in Yam's reliability you can't beat it. PS: I'm Canadian (Canadian $) and was lucky I bought mine pre inflation for $297 CANADIAN $ including all taxes from an actual store, not online....LOL

I don't understand why super-budget AVR's mix 5-way posts with spring clip. Might as well have all spring clip and make the chassis smaller if possible. If anything, you more need the large binding posts for the surround channels to use larger gauge wire for the longer distance.

Love this video. Very informative. Are you planning on a 7 channel video. I’d be very interested in that. Thanks!

Have you heard anything about that new Onkyo RZ30? It retails for around $1, 200 putting it in direct competition with the Marantz Cinema 70…, , both of which are a step down from the Anthem 540. Thanks and great video!

I have a question I have a 5.1 system that was working fine at my previous house I set it up in the new house and my rear satellite speaks crackle a little when I first start a show or movie but it cleans up after 1 minutes or 2 it all so does it if a pause or extended time the only thing I've change in the system is the two rear speaker wires are from a new wire roll that a thicker gauge wire.

I strtd with ur video of 7 chl with klipsch bundle and now upgraded to 9 chl with onkyo RZ 50 😎😎😎

[Mjaybird]

I have had the denon s760h for over a year and a half and it is still good for 7.2. Little to no issues

[madcrabber]

Another good choice with pre outs for front speakers is the Yamaha RX-V6A although it is a 7.2 unit.

[dragonstone]

is there an Dolby Atmos AVR with only pre outs?

[infrared]

hi, I'm very confused, I don't know which receiver to buy, I have an LG OLED C2 83 inch and a 5.1 Polk Audio Signature Elite, 2x es10 2x es20 1x es35 1x hts10, what do you recommend? ps I live in Belgium! I would be happy if you could help me, thanks

[Barleyleg]

My “listening area” is just under 150 sq ft. If I were to start over I’d grab that Anthem, Polk Reserves, Emotiva XPA5, Apple 4K TV, and another Sony 800m2 (just to stir the pot - y’all know what I mean 😉). Quality over quantity. I doubt I would miss the heights much. Pricey, yet simple, setup. But it would check all the boxes. Cheers everyone! Enjoy your weekend!

[afelcandy]

Well..., and MARANTZ Cinema 70 ?!? It's a FULL PRE-AMP and with a slim, all-new sexy design.
