jkd740 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hi guys, I'm stuck trying to decide on what receiver I want. I'm looking at the Yamaha RX-V750 and the HK AVR335. There are things about each of them that I like more. For instance I really like the two zone capability with the yamaha, the HK is more pleasing on the eyes, says my wife. I've listened to both side by side and still can't decide. I'm just starting a small home theater system. I will be putting together consisting of 4 RSX5's, RCX4, and probably an RW10. Considering this setup which receiver would you recommend? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I have the Yamaha 750 and I really like it. In addition to the two zones (which I don't use) the amp has the ability to mix speaker impedance (WHICH I DO USE!!) The front ambiance speaker ability is nice also. I use them and they add to the movie experience. I am not sure if I would go to the next unit up. I have thought about it with my 750 The next unit up has the ability to match timber on the speakers also. I spent some money and time to make sure my speakers match well but the ability to tweak the timber to get them to match would have been nice. The YAPO works VERY well! I have a tough room (third post down fourth page of the show us you ht thread) with NO walls on the left side or the back of the room and the YAPO set the system up to work well in that room! I can only imagine what it might sound like in a GOOD room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I like the features of Yamaha and have not found the sound quality to be detrimental to Klipsch speakers. The zone settings, YPAO, and remote are all top notch. I can't speak to the other brand. I have RXV2400 and two others Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I have heard other s-s recivers and I am shocked that some people don't hear the difference, vintage HK sounds so much better in my books, the HK AV630 is OK, not using it, guess I should hook it up and decide if I am going to keep it- how the hell does the Yammie do anything with speaker impedances except offer different taps? (sounds like hype) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Two Harman Kardon AVR series owner for me. I love the sound. I've never heard a yammi, but people have been quoted as sying that Klipsch matched up with Yammi is bright. Until I decide to go sepparates someday, I'll be sticking with Harman.

popbumper Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Have beem using the H/K AVR430 for over a year and like it very much; there is nothing obtrusive or unnatural about the sound at all, and it has plenty of power reserve/features.
