With your medium sized room i'd get a yamaha 771 or more recent yamaha model.  Important na kasi sa bigger rooms angpreouts, para pwede ka mag add ng power amp.  Kung wharf taeget mo sir may pio 1121 sa mp natin for 22k.  You cant go wrong with a pio wharf combo. And may pre out na ang 1121.

Yamaha with Polk Audio matches well. I think the Yamaha 677 has adequate features since it's a midrange model.

sir ask ko lang po kung magkano ang brand new ng yamaha rxv 530 thanks po

I think you mean Yamaha RX-V667. It's quite older than 673 but more useful features and I think up to now more expensive than the newer models.  But as per review, the audio quality of 673 is better than 667.

@Timithekid, I think both of us were able to try the Line Out Converter of markcrenz.

No need to spend additional for Built-in Pre-out if price difference is significant. It is always good to have a pre-out but for the latest Yamaha models like 673 (except Avantage) the pre-out ports have been removed. Now there is a solution!

@Timithekid, what Yammy are you currently using and what AMP did you use?

Ah nagpagawa karin sir?  Not sure if i was the first to ask mark to build one but yeah thats what i use now to connect my avr to a power amp.

No more yammy sir, had a 595 before paired with wharf modus one six.  Power amp i have is a dv-500. Current avr now is a pio 921k.

[Tavus]

yamaha 1067 goes for around 50k-56k from 5th avenue.

@Timithekid,
Yes, got curious ordered one and tested it to be great. Exactly the same SQ as from Pre-out. PDvD Talent is Amazing and I have to thank you for starting that thread.

Connected a 471 to the Yamaha M40 and the Sound Quality greatly improved using the AMP.
The Line Out Converter saved resources for other projects instead of buying another Yammy with pre-out.
We use the M40(a,b,c) to test speakers Sound Quality with a press of button. Example
A) Polk
B) Warf
C) AA Genesis

My pleasure bro, glad it was useful to someone else aside from me.    Its night and day difference when you use a power amp, lalo na kung entry to mid level lang ang avr.  I hope more get to discover the thread or mods make it a sticky, the cost savings is significant in my opinion.

[jetstar]

What about power consumption? Will it not consume so much power if line converter is connected to speaker outputs? Nag iinit pa rin ba ang receiver just like driving the speakers directly? Just a thought.

[Timithekid]

yes the receiver would still emit heat if that is your question but the power consumption should relatively be the same as using preouts on a receiver because the outputs lead to a passive LOC.  AFAIK, even when just using preouts on an AVR, umiinit parin.  but I'd rather let the experts correct me on this kasi yung sakin based on observation lang, walang measurement tool na ginamit.

[jetstar]

If that's the case I would suggest the RX-V673. Got no regrets on choosing the 667 but from what I've read, the sound quality has greatly improved.  It's just that I already have an AppleTV that the airplay feature of 673 is insignificant to my needs. I gave more preference on the Phono input and pre-outs.

[titor]

I just got a 671 from Amazon for $323 (shipped to CA). It was something I could not resist. Will pair it with either Infinity Primus 163 or some polks. Depends on what is on sale today 

[Timithekid]

One more day and you would have gotten it for $299...i just got notified by amazon...how i wish i had money to shop for these.  7 series kaya bumaba din?

[mikz023]

Okay ba ang 671? anong 2011 model ba to?

[titor]

I got it 299 w free shipping it's just that it was shipped to California and it's always a bummer since they collect tax.

Ouch! Ang laki na pala ng tax sa cali! Deym.

[≧◉◡◉≦xrampage≧◉◡◉≦]

The yamaha aventage-A2010 price at amazon is a great buy at $1,099.00. I believe I got my unit at $1,300. 

[titor]

Ouch! Ang laki na pala ng tax sa cali! Deym.

ganyan talaga some states... they tax you. i really dont have a choice since i dont know anyone from other states.

[Tavus]

Ouch! Ang laki na pala ng tax sa cali! Deym.

there pretty much a bankrupt state. there doing everything just to keep themselves a float.

[[dcw]aaron]

can the new yamaha rxv 473 easily drive the wharfedale diamond 10s (10.5, 10cs, 10dfs, gx sub)?

[CoolTOYZPH]

To fellow Yamaha users a few questions:
1) Do you use the YPAO calibration feature?
2) Which of the Settings do you use? Natural - Front - Flat?
3) What is your opinion of the calibration result? Does it satisfy your desired SQ?

Hope to get replies for additional knowledge.

) Do you use the YPAO calibration feature? Yes
2) Which of the Settings do you use? Natural - Front - Flat? Natural
3) What is your opinion of the calibration result? Does it satisfy your desired SQ? If i does not satisfy me i ussually adjust it manually pag kasi nag kamali ka ng settings baka masira naman ang speaker or yung receiver so i ussually run the YPAO then manual na pag di ok ang output. Like mine nag YPAO ako sa Polk setup ko pero ang settings na nilagay niya large lahat pero it does not satisfy me so i adjusted to small with 40hz para sa SVS sub ko. Pag kasi nakalarge yung Fronts ko wala na napupunta sa SVS sub so i set to small yung fronts but 40hz para ung output parang laerge pa din siya.

[Courage]

1) Do you use the YPAO calibration feature? No... I calibrated the speakers via SPL meter lang
2) Which of the Settings do you use? Through(No equalization is being done by the receiver)
3) What is your opinion of the calibration result? Does it satisfy your desired SQ? I'm happy with the way i calibrated it..

[CoolTOYZPH]

1 YPAO Calibrated (xrampage)- 1 Manual Calibration (Courage)

Thanks Guys.
I hope there will be more feedback from other users.

@xrampage,
As for me I use Front for HT and Flat for music

[raider125jeigh]

sagot ako kahit iba amp ko haha
1) Do you use the YPAO calibration feature? yes but i change it afterwards
it outputs Fronts at -3 > -6
same as Center

i manually set the center speaker to 0db leaving the fronts to - 6
i want more vocals sa HT

all speakers will be set to large for sure i set it to small

fronts 40hz
center 60
surr 60



2) Which of the Settings do you use? Through(No equalization is being done by the receiver)
3) What is your opinion of the calibration result? Does it satisfy your desired SQ? I'm happy with the way i calibrated it.. it does it just so happen that i need to tweak the settings.

[CoolTOYZPH]

@raider125jeigh, what is the advantage of setting the fronts to small instead of increasing the volume/output level of the Sub-woofer in the settings?

[Timithekid]

@raider125jeigh, what is the advantage of setting the fronts to small instead of increasing the volume/output level of the Sub-woofer in the settings?

If i may,  setting the fronts to small will direct low frequency signals to your sub, making it more active.  If you just increase the volume, it will only be louder but that loudness will only be heard when a signal is sent to your sub, no signal, no sound.

[rthirtyfourgtr]

and if i may add, one of the primary reasons why fronts are recommended to be set to small is that subwoofers in general reproduce bass better than typical speakers.

in the end though, it's you who decide which sounds better to your ears.
