Yamaha is providing some nice looking stuff. With all the technologies being included in today’s equipment, you wonder if it is too daunting for the average consumer.

You know, I know a lot of us here have high end separates to offer the best sound you can get within your budget. And the idea of using a home theater receiver we would never consider. But I must say, in these last couple of years, the receiver for home theater use has more than proven its capability of being the hub or do all device for your system. 90 watts x 7, 6 inputs, 1 output, 3d, the list just goes on and on. And its just $599.95.
