I have the Yamaha Rv-1000 and I recently heard that Yamaha recievers don't sound well when paired with klipsch speakers. I have Rf-3,Rc-3 and the Rs-3. I think my system sounds pretty good, but I am knew to this world. I thought about trading this one off for a THX Kenwood or a Hk. I don't know much about Onkyo or Denon since I haven't found them sold in my area. I like the DSP the Yamaha has. I do get a hum when I turn the volume up, even when it is a digital source. I would appreciate any comments to help me in my search for a quality reciever. I thought it could have been my interconnects but I am using all monster cable interconnect they all were $80 a piece not including the optical cords.
Thanks Speakerboy
