Topic: Yamaha Receivers

[Toquero]

Sir,

B&W Speakers

It's really a best matchup...... and would really sound sweet... Pero para hindi O.T. tayo Yamaha is categorized as one of the bright recievers (matinis ba sa High frequency.. ) so if you will pair it with a speaker using soft dome tweeters(wharfs, and the like), it would tame its brightness. B&W on the other , uses metal dome tweeters, medyo matinis but others may call it neutral in totality and Denon is mabilog ang tunog sa lower end frequency so just the same it compensate the highs . Just my 2 cents..

Bottom line, all recievers (yammy,marantz,Onkyo,Denon, Harman) will perform well with properly matched speakers........

ano ba difference ng Yamaha RX-V400 sa RX-V457? Yung XM radio lang ba? Kasi ang laki ng price difference nila...almost 6K.

[alas6]

mga sirs, question lang: how much na po ang going price ng 2nd hand na rx-v496 ngayon?  i haven't been up to speed on the prices and i'm planning to sell this later.  thanks in advance!

[sanmig_ph]

ano analysis mo between the yamaha and the denon?

mas ok siguro yung 1906,gusto mo kay sir sonny tuazon yung diskarte ni jeck
alam ko nag deal sila dun sa denon kung hindi cya satisfied pwede nya ibalik for yamaha

[JT]

For me, Ok ang Denon sa mga bagong entry-level models.  Pero from mid-range onwards, parang pareho lang sila ng Yamaha.

Yes. And I don't think the price differenec is worth that.

Hi guys! just bought my new receiver, i caonnected the speaker and was able to play a dvd movies. but when i tried using the tuner, there was no sound. i already connected the supplied antenna. can any body here help me? thanks!

[danrd]

Have you connected both am and fm antennas?

[Assassin101]

Have you connected both am and fm antennas?

yes, it's alredy picking up signals.

[av_phile1]

If as you said, you've connected the antena and is picking up signals, then there must already be sounds.  Are the sounds noisy or unlistenable? 

[Assassin101]

If as you said, you've connected the antena and is picking up signals, then there must already be sounds.  Are the sounds noisy or unlistenable? 

no sound at all. what i mean about picking up signal is that in the display the TUNED indicator lights up.

[boomjam]

I Think you have to set the receiver for the radio stations you want to listen to.  If the tuner is not set to a particular  station, all you will hear is static and or silence depending if your receiver has a mute on no signal.

huh... ofcourse it's tuned to a particular station.. duh...

[arthurallanj]

It may be in mute, since you said it's already tuned.

[Assassin101]

there's sound when in DVD mode but when i tried the built-in tuner not a single sound.

Thanks Sir,

After taking my friends advice, I started scouting at Pier for the remote of my Yamaha DSP-2000...

and guess what? I got this learning remote (Yamaha RCX-VP37340 remote controll transmitter) for only Php. 800!!!, see picture below...



for Php. 800 I'm a bit suprised, It is indeed original Yammy remote and has a complete remote function. I can now enjoy adjusting not only my DSP amp but also some of my audio/video gears... 

This really proves that... from time to time, Pier surplus shop does sometimes provide a good source...       

[ronjet]

congrats sir hanns!  to think that its A Learning Remote! great buy! mapadaan nga uli dun minsan...

[keema]

mga sirs, question lang...kaya ba ng rxv 457 mag patunog ng floorstanders na speakers? meron ba sa inyong naka rxv457? anong floorstander speakers ang okay e-match dito? tyaka ilan ba dapat ang sensitivity at wattage ng speaker na pwedeng e-match rxv 457? last na question nalang...okay lang ba kung gumamit ako ng Y-connector kung gagamit ako ng 2 subs?

sir try mo yung DTX series or Euro 8's , local nga lang pero oks naman sa performance, your 457's can easily handdle it. using y connector for split subs is no problem parehas naman outgoing signals so no conflict...

ahh okay sir, so local lang na mga foorstanders ang kaya ng rxv457? pagdating sa mga wharfdale or gale na speakers, hindi na po ba nya kaya? pwede din po bang paki sabi kung anong klaseng model yung pwede...salamat....

[hattori_hanzo]

ahh okay sir, so local lang na mga foorstanders ang kaya ng rxv457? pagdating sa mga wharfdale or gale na speakers, hindi na po ba nya kaya? pwede din po bang paki sabi kung anong klaseng model yung pwede...salamat....

Sir, kaya pa rin naman ang whafs or gale ng 457's mo, dynamic power ang mga X57's series ng YAMMY, plus high current capable ito, so no problem sa power, kase most entry level receivers has enough power to meet your demands, wag lang yung tipong pang outdoor power ang hanap mo dahil more than 500W yun, anyways yung yammy AVR is bit bright, so try going for the silk ones.

yung local na speakers na ni recommend ko is Dai-ichi DTX tower I think iisa lang ang model nila for floor standers pero kung sa DAi-chi Euros naman go for the 8's its has a complete set at 91db for 18T (2Floor standers, 1 Center, 2 surrounds and 1 powered sub) so medyo economical diba? performance naman hindi masyado nagkakalayo...

ahh okay sirs, salamat.. syempre hindi pang outdoor. ano yung silk ones na nasabi mo? pno ko malalaman yun?

Sir, sa specification ng speakers naka indicate dun kung yun tweeter drivers niya either soft silk dome tweeter or metal dome tweeter, meron din iba make and made like electro static sa case ng martin logan kaya lang sobra mahal nun mga 100T/ea speaker...

I used to have a RXV450 and it was able to drive my daiichi floorstanders. Went to RXV650 and it was able to drive my mission floorstanders. But when I went for another AVR (HK) the bass response was so much better. I realized thew Yamaha sounded "manipis". The floorstanders can be driven, the question is, how good will it drive your speakers?

I would recommend a Yammy 550/650 plus external amp for floorstanders if you want to hear the full potential of your floorstanders. (just my 2 cents). The 450/457 doesnt have pre-outs.
