My reciever, a Yamaha RX V663 supports a (HDMI) video signal of 1080p/60Hz and below. So if I bought a flat screen TV that supported 1080p/120 or 240 and a blue-ray player and ran them both thru my reciever, would I end up getting a video signal of 1080p/60Hz on the TV because of the reciever? Would the reciever be a bottle neck? Does my question make any since?
The RX V663 has pre-outs and I have a amp hooked up to it . A person would think that a 665 would offer pre-outs knowing that it is the updated version of the 663,
Newegg has Yamaha RX V1900 for $579. Thats a really good deal. In think its like 130wpc but not forsure. I think that it is only offered on the weekends at that price. Good luck.
I like Yamaha. It does well with my RF62's but the Yamaha I have (663) won't push a set of RF7's without a amp. Marantz is even better (I think) if you have the extra cash. I had a low-end Denon and really never cared for it.
Watch out for the 9 year old boys(I have one). They act like your best friend until they are alone with there Mom, and he's wanting a video game. Spill's his guts every time.
Its good you got the XPA 5 instead of the 3. You have room to expand. Good luck brother.
So I guess your 663 will push them fairly well? I bet your HTPC helps for a good clean input.
As far as the Emo goes, I would enjoy what you have for awhile. So when you do get a amp you will really love what you have.
Mr. Klappenberger, with all do respect my friend, do you have a wooden horn that replaces the cornwall horn?
I'm new at this upgrade stuff, and I read every thing thats posted as far as cornwall/cornscala goes and I get confused very easy.
I agree with SuBXeRo. Get the XPA5 or XPA3(I would go with the 5) and have power to spare. And get a 5 year warranty and great customer service. Good luck
I didn't read the whole thread But when I was in grade school, my oldest brother and his geek friend installed a 8-track and 2 speakers in a curler box(hair curler) and that was our home stereo. It was (pardon me) Top Notch. There was no better.
I live in the Springfield area. Thats to bad. ED makes a good sub. You can call them and they will take the time to talk to you and figure out whats would work for you. Good luck brother.
