What i mean was,    option for 7.1 preout so you can just add ext. amp for the 2 Sur. back channel... if it has, it's a good feature..

no it doesnt have but ive told you its a top-of-the-line 5.1 avr. but its worth-it, this amp last for a very long time...

Maybe they are more incline now to music and get more musical receiver....

For HDMI alone, a better DVD player with that feature is enough to make direct connection to your LCD or Plasma Monitor...

Guys share ko lang ito.  I will  be replacing my Yammy RX-V550 with a brand new old stock RX-V1400.  What do you think guys, is this an upgrade or a downgrade?  My current speaker setup are: B&W602s3 fronts, LCR60 center and Warf bi-polar surrounds.

Thanks.   

[MAtZTER]

Of course its an upgrade. They use different higher quality parts starting at the 1000 series.

Congrats! very clever & practical choice in choosing NOS higher series. Its the same price as the 6 series if I am correct.

for best results get a Rotel power amp. Perfect w/ B&W's!

[fnvillafuerte]

Thanks MAtZTER for the info.  The RX-V1400 will be delivered to me this coming Saturday, together with the Velodyne CHT-12R.      Got the 1400 for 26K brandnew and still sealed, is this a fair price?  I will study your suggestion regarding Rotel amps.  By the way, I heard about BADA amps, is it good also vs Rotel?

Thats a really good price for a mid level receiver, almost same as the 6 series already! Ang mahal na kasi ng HDMI receivers ng Yammy & according to what I read, you can still benefit from the new surround formats using the 7.1 inputs of all receivers anyway. So I went for a NOS Yamaha myself early this year, hehe

Rotels are perfect match w/ B&W's, thats a proven fact. Being a Rotel user & loyalist myself (& a firm believer in the benefits of a power amp), I would recommend it if its w/in your budget. But if budget is an issue, try the Bada's w/ almost the same specs & build quality but lower price. SQ wise its less bright than the Rotels

[audiojunkie]

Sir, I salute you in your selling power!... Any hints or pointers?...

Whats NOS YAMAHA?  Ok ba ang Yamaha 1800 for Wharfes? or better sya for B & W?  How much ba Rotel amps compatible with the Yamaha 1800 or is it really needed?

[MAtZTER]

NOS means New Old Stock. Older models but still new. Price=lower

Based on what I read (not my personal experience) Wharfes are better for Yamaha. If you are going to get the 1800, go for the mid level Wharfes like Evo's.

How much ba Rotel amps compatible with the Yamaha 1800 or is it really needed?

Really needed: no. But its a great upgrade path for more power & better performance. Also great for big rooms. Most high end 100+k receivers use torroidal power supplies used in power amps like Rotel. See the Yamaha Z9's power supply .

Rotel 5 channel amp: P56k. Rotel 2 channel amp: P34k

Mga sirs,

May upconversion feature ba ang Yamaha RX-V659 thru comonent? Hanggang anong resolution?
Sa spec sheet may nakalagay e. Pero sa manual wala naman kung paano i-set. Auto ba? Ito balak ko

Standard DVDp (no upconversion feature) -----> RX-V659 ----> HDTV (max 720p)

Thru component cables yan.

Kaya ba? Yung Pioneer DV-600 at DV-400 kasi upconvert lang thru HDMI e(Wala ako HDMI)

this must cost an arm and a leg. hehehe

[av_phile1]

Maybe just an arm.     While it supports the newer codecs, I don't think it's in the same league as the Z9 flagship. 

[oReOsHaKe]

Way too expensive ang Z9.. almost $4,000.00.. It is a high-end receiver. In fact it is the flagship receiver of Yamaha presently.

[pchin]

At $4,000 for the Z9..now this will cost you an arm and a leg 

So av_phile1 is right to say the Yamaha RX-V1800 will just cost an arm lang. LOL

yamaha has a new flagship receiver. RX-Z11.  Its 11.2, will be available by november. I think its around $5000. Lupit!!

I stand corrected.  Z11 na pala flagship ng Yamaha now..      Z9 will cost around $2K at present..

IMHO, I won't go this FAR for a receiver, You can get separates with almost same amount but has more flexibility for future upgrades...
