Salvador Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Center RC-62From-52Ra-62 What would be a good receiver for this set up? Prefer Yamaha and don't need anything fancy but something good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 What is your budget and room size? What percent movies/music will you be listening to? Upgrading to Atmos in your future? 4K passthru? 3D? We need some details! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The History Kid Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Without knowing any of that other information I can only throw out wild guesses. I don't know exactly what you're trying to achieve in your setup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvador Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Budget $500Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvador Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Or do I need to spend more? I want to get the most out of the speakers I have.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Well, that answers one of the questions... Without knowing what features you want and if you're looking explicitly for movies or music or more this or that, I can't say any one thing for sure. Anyway, here's a wild dart... http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/yamrxa760bl/yamaha-rx-a760-7.2-ch-x-90-watts-networking-a/v-receiver/1.html Quote 4K Ultra HD video upscaling with HDCP 2.2, HDR and BT.2020 support Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X™ surround sound processing (5.1.2-ch) Bluetooth®, built-in Wi-Fi and Wireless Direct for wireless music streaming AirPlay®, Pandora®, Rhapsody®, Spotify®, Sirius XM Internet Radio and AV Controller app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvador Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Sorry I didn't see your question. About 75% movies listen to everything mostly rock . Not sure about Atmos but do want 4K and 3d.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The RX-A760 wouldn't be a bad deal. If you're going 5 channels, and budget wasn't so constrained you could get separates. About $1100 would get you there, and you'd get triple wattage per channel, all channels driven. Emotiva's A-500 runs $499, and their MC-700 runs $599 - those two together would be a really nice pairing with those speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvador Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 I like that ! Do you think for what I have now that would nBe enough? I want to listen to it loud and without distortion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Buddy, I have no doubt you'd forget all about Yamaha and be pissing off about every neighbor on your block. https://emotiva.com/products/pres-and-pros/mc-700 https://emotiva.com/products/amplifiers/500 ETA, my mistake. The A-500 is rated at 80 WPC all channels driven, juxtaposed to an unknown wattage for the Yamaha. Regardless, the A-500 is a workhorse and should supply you with ample power. (I was thinking of the A-5175 @ 125x5 WPC) The 500/700 is a killer setup and you won't be disappointed none-the-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Want a powerful receiver that offers everything except Atmos? Here it is! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sherbourn-SR120-7-1-Channel-175-Watt-Receiver-Incredible-sound-Hardly-used-/232314962703?hash=item36170d030f:g:1cMAAOSwVm5ZASt~ I own four of these and I would run it up against any receiver. In fact it doesn't take a back seat at all to my combination of XPA-5 and XPA-2 putting out 200 x 5 and 300 x 5 into 8ohms. This receiver will blow your mind as far as power. I think I the volume dial on the receiver goes to 100 and my normal listening level (not quiet mind you) is around 7.5-10 on the dial. It has a parametric EQ, it has Dolby Volume, mic, room correction, it has everything imaginable as far as custom settings to dial in your speakers as far as crossovers, treble, bass, and all that. This guy on Ebay started at $1200 and is down to $800 or best now. They don't come around very often and they are sweet sounding. Offer this guy $700 or so and see what he says. 73lbs and built like a tank. Absolutely blew my Yamaha RX-V2700 out of the room. It offers 125 real watts across the front three and real 75 wpc across the other four....way more than those Yamahas, Denons Onkyos, etc. As long as you are not planning on cutting holes in your ceiling for Atmos this has everything else. You won't be disappointed It offers up more power than that Emotiva separates Michael linked you and it is built by the same company. Sherbourn used to be the Professional Installer wing of Emotiva and Jade Design. Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The only questions on the Sherbourn's are if you can find one, and Tim done found it. Excellent recommendation right there, and will get you under $1k. The downside...you'd forego 4K and HDCP 2.2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvador Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Like the Emotiva set up ! That would obviously be an upgrade to what I have? Listen louder and less distortion? Do they offer trial period? If so I am pulling the trigger.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvador Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Connecting it from amp to mc-700 what kind of cables should I use? I have some old monster six channel audio cable. I had this from when I use to have a DVD audio/ sacd player. Can I use this ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
