Hi Sirs,

been a regular lurker here, and hopefully I have the bucks to start this project of mine. I'm not looking for a high end, series ,just enough to make the visitors drool, whenever i put some movies or music (specially those michael buble & maroon 5)

I was browsing just this weekend and saw RX-V473 and cost around 53,000yen (around Php 25k), but I'm a bit hesitant if bought here in Japan, since it is 110v.

Is RX-V473 my best choice as a newbie?
(assuming that I have a budget of Php 25k).

Do you think it is better to buy it locally in PH? do they have any price difference at all?

And what are the current recommended 5.1 speakers that I can source out with this model?
(I'm mostly MOVIES, with ASUS Media player and occassional sound trippin')

thanks in advance to those who can shed a light on my predicament,

Goma, are you residing in japan? If yes better buy there, but if your just a tourist better buy here in philippines or in other asia countries which are 220v and with tuner frequency 88 above. Rxv 473 is not bad since its higher than entry level rxv373. Good luck on your purchase, think and choose wisely.

@goma

How much is your budget. You should put first your budget since you said high end.

Hi Sir, I'm currently working here in Japan, but would install the system back home in PH, the only difference that i can see is the voltage (110v) , will I have a problem back home? specially if I buy speakers in PH (The only consideration that I'm thinking is that although the item is made in malaysia, the standards here is so strict that the store would take the time to inspect the item before handing it to you)

thanks & regards,

Hi Sir, as my previous post , i'm NOT looking for high end , just enough to have a quality audio experience, although my budget is as follows :

1. av receiver - around 20k-25k
2. speakers (5.1) - around 50k (conservative estimate) , although much better if I can source out quality speakers below this budget (as per newbie POV and recommendations from GURUs like you, hehehehe)

thanks & regards,

Just for the update, I saw this Yamaha RX-V473B(Hyperlink - Discounted Price), and found out I can buy it cheaper online, me idea po ba kayo how much is the price in Manila?

wala pang rxv- 73 series sa pinas, 71 palang. ang 471 nasa +/-24500 ata sa sm appliances, try to consider also the fm tuner, sa japan kasi up to 88hz lang, in short useless dto ang japanese fm frequency tuner, sa speakers naman, napakaraming pagpipilian dto, audition mo nalang sa mga stores pagdating mo dto sa pinas.

Thanks for the input! siguro nga sa Pinas na lang, although trip ko talaga yung RX-V473 kase nakita ko yung demo dito sa shop, with network capability, iPOD/iPhone/iPad remote connection capability, I mean, eyecandy talaga!

Any recommended stores na accomodating yung staffs?

Hi mga Sir, im wondering kung bakit ang dami nagbebenta ng aventage rx-a810 na slightly used. May problem kaya sa model nato? I checked the forums wala naman ako nabasang issues. Im suppose to buy the rx-a1010 but i checked the height hindi kakasya sa cabinet ko, kaya dun ako sa next best (i think) that would fit in my cabinet. I'm pairing it with PSB imagine series, i believe it has enough power naman to drive my speakers. Bakit kaya ang daming nagbebenta na slightly used? Hmmmm

I dont hear any issues regarding any Aventage model or series. Si toys4geeks yan ang AVR nya and i know he's happy and very satisfied with it... PM him for more info.. I'm an aventage user as well, the older Aventage A2000

Baka naman di sila satisfied and upgrade. Ano ba ang RFS nila? So far may Aventage A2010 is kicking good on my POLK A5.

Allan_2180 · « **Reply #3525 on:** Sep 01, 2012 at 10:27 AM »

bought my RX-A810 as bnew last month,
so far I'm satisfied and wala pa ako nakikita na disadvantage.
Some are having doubt about its power ksi magaan daw (11Kgs)
pero it's still enough to sing my power-hungry Wharfedale 9.6,
no problem with YPAO settings, Haven't encountered any HDMI or Firmware issues yet.
Siguro kaya madai nagbebenta ng slightly used na A810 kasi old version na ito at mas kailangan nila
ng more than 100Watts/Ch, Airplay & the latest 3K 4K Pass-Through and Upscaling feature.
which I don't need for now, kaya IMHO, A810 is still the best bang for the buck.

Thanks for your input! Lastly, is the Aventage rx-a810 considered midend already?

okay lang ba ang rx-373 for 2.1 music setup o kailangan ko pa bumili ng separate na amplifier for music?

Tavus · « **Reply #3529 on:** Sep 05, 2012 at 09:12 AM »

Depends on the speaker. Rx373 is a decent starter receiver and it will do well with efficient speaker brands.
oh you can't connect an external amp to the 373 cause it doesn't have pre-outs

Allan_2180 · « **Reply #3530 on:** Sep 05, 2012 at 10:30 PM »

RX-A810

"Don't write off this 'entry-level' Aventage as yet. The RX-A810 is actually a marvelous choice if you are comfortable with a 7.2-channel receiver equipped with a more conservative power output. While it doesn't showcase as many IO ports as its A3010 sibling, like the number of optical inputs for instance, the A810 does feature similar audio and visual benefits like its counterparts. For instance, it houses the same Burr Brown DAC chipset, plus it also supports a bi-amp configuration if you prefer to assign the amps individually. Not to mention this receiver also supports HD audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio among others. For calibration, the A810 uses Yamaha's multi-point YPAO and DSP Effect Normalization technologies which varies the CINEMA DSP parameters as determined by the reflected acoustics. At the video end, the A810 is able to process 3D signals and provide HD upscaling for lower resolutions as well."

The new set of AVENTAGE is out on market na here in the US,...
Looking at both the 2020 and the 1020,... Kung hindi ko rin naman maima-maximize ang 9.2
I might as well get the lower 1020,....

Ano ba ang magandang partner na speakers ng Yamaha,...
That's the next on the list,...

This makes me not want to upgrade having no intention to change my speakers. The problem is I think 3D is coming of age but my RX-V3800 is not capable. So which way to go?

To make matters worse, the next generation in the RX series - the RX-V3900, has been discontinued it seems.

Bro.. di ba pwedeng split ang signal nang HDMI? One is going to the receiver(Audio), the other goes to the PJ para yung Video di na dadaan nang Receiver?
