Maybe getting a little closer to the receiver purchase

My local HT shop is going to be getting some higher end Yammies in stock pretty soon. I'm going to demo a 1400 and 2400 at home. My hunch is that I'll end up w/ a 1400 and an RS-25 because I believe this will be the same price as a 2400. I just don't see enough differences in the featuresets to make me spend the extra money.

Does anybody (that means you avman) have any experience w/ the 2nd zone on the Yammie? Does it require a 2nd amp? How many channels can be playing in zone 1 and I still be able to use zone 2?

you can run at least 5.1 surround at the SAME time as speaker-level zone2(very cool!integra,for example,'steals'the surround amps to do zone2,so it defaults to stereo,while the yammy allows you to still have surround sound). you also have zone2 and 3 line-outs for an external amp. a neat feature of the 1400/2400 is being able to use the speaker-level zone 2 outs as 'presence' speakers which are placed high and to the far left and right of your main l/r speakers to 'widen' the soundstage.(in effect a 9.1 system6.gif )

hope this helps.
