Thejtl Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 So I have some 82iis coming on Thursday. I've decided to run 2.1 for a while (maybe until I build a HT in the basement a few years hence). I care mostly about how music sound through the system. Gaming second and movies/TV last. Right now I have a ps4, Xbone running and a ProJect Debut Carbon TT. My amp is a Yamaha rx-v675 that I bought a year ago. Seems like overkill for my setup. I'm wondering if I should go after something less involved. I don't use any of the features I paid for when I got the Yammie. I wanted the best I could afford at the time and that was it. Now its depreciated by a few hundred bucks. I could certainly stick with it, but could also change if there's something better for tunes when matched with my incoming speakers. I like the sound OK, just having an "is the grass greener?" Moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K5SS Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The total power is cut way down when driving more than 2 speakers. Your new RF-82's will like the power. Just keep the RX-V675, the only downside is that it doesn't have pre-outs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 ^^^ Keep what you have, go 2.2 next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Next, get another RF-82II for Center, if you can make room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejtl Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Thanks for the advice. I was thinking that something a little more audio-centric might be a good choice. I was looking at the Marantz offerings. It looks like I could get the NR1403 for about $250, as it's an outdated model. But I don't want to go to a bunch of trouble to trade down or stay even in quality. From a cost/benefit standpoint, my sunk cost on the V675 hasn't balanced out quite yet, so it probably makes sense to hold onto it for a while from an economic standpoint.
