Try power amping your setup as an upgrade. You will hear the  sonic differences of HD more with a well powered setup.

Great advice by Matt. I took this step recently & never look back! :D

Bro - Yupangco daw may 70% off dun sa demo nilang AVR which you might consider. 24k nalang daw sya from 70k plus ata.

From 70k naging 24k? baka naman pro logic lang yan (no DTS)!  ;D

Anyway, you can also get NOS Yamaha's from Listening in Style, the official distro, tawad tawad na lang. They may give you a lower price if you pay cash.

Great advice by Matt. I took this step recently & never look back! :D

Always glad to be of help & to share my experience with others!  :)

Hi otepsy,  RXV550 could be around 3 to 5 years old model.  Correct me if I am wrong.

Direct Stereo for high quality two-channel sound reproduction
Quad-Field CINEMA DSP and 14 surround programs

Selectable 9-band subwoofer crossover / Subwoofer phase select
Audio Delay for adjusting lip-sync(0-160ms)

What you mean is mas bagong model yang Yamaha RXV457 than RXV550? Tama ba?
i look at the specs mukhang mas marami features ng rxv550 at mas mataas ang wattage...
please enlighten me. thanks

Hi otepsy,  What I mean is that the RXV550 last digit which is "0" means much older than the "7" (my RXV457).  The newer models now have the last digits ata at "9".  Correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Yan ata yung Flagship AVR ng Yamaha - althou, I could be wrong :P Mga 100k+ ata yan?
You may ask Dexter aka Kefq as he mentioned in one of our chats na nagkaroon ata sya ng isa before.

Yupangco building is in Buendia, Makati. Dunno exact address but easy to look up in the directory or call  pldt 187 to get their numbers from the operator.

good luck papi!

I have a yamaha rx-v350 connected to 4 wharfe 8.1 and 8.c, ok naman for my 15 sqm room.

I'm planning to move the set to a bigger room (25 sqm).

Would you advice me to use my wharfe 8.3 or 8.4 for fronts in lieu of 8.1?
( 8.3 and 8.4 are used in another house. )

Will my entry level amp be able to drive this effectively? overheat? or bad sonic?

Please comment before I re-arrange my house and just waste my time and energy.

Thanks.

Nope, its not outdated yet. The new HD surround formats can be connected through your 5.1 analog inputs, even with no HDMI. Try power amping your setup as an upgrade. You will hear the  sonic differences of HD more with a well powered setup.
hi, i've been reading some of your posts and it was very informative(regarding the diff levels of AMP to Speaker match). Am torn between getting a HTIB Samsung HT-x250 and getting new speakers for my rx-795a. If i do get speakers for the Yammy, what would match my amp? Some say Wharfdale? What type?

any suggestions from others would be warmly welcomed, thank you. :)

rxv 2095 came out i think last 1998-99. its the flagship receiver at that time along with dsp a1 which was the flagship amplifier.

im using the 2095 as my processor to the rotel 1075 and im very happy with it (though ive used it for 7 years as my mains driving an all paradigm set up)! ihmo magaling talaga sa dsp ang yamaha. so if you can still get those for 30k or less grab it na!

cheers! :D

I would go for new speakers for your Yamaha instead of HtIB. As long as there are 5.1 analog inputs your reciever will not be outdated.

If you are on a budget, go for Wharfes, but also try entry level Monitor audio, Q acoustics, Paradigm, etc.

Just get a more powerful ampli/receiver for your bigger room.

Again let me share my discovery that the more powerful your amp is, the more it fills the room. Its not just the size of your speaker or how many woofers it has.

I have heard surround size speakers fill up a big showroom with sound when powered by a powerful receiver. I recently power amped my tiny satellite speakers and to my surprise, it filled up my whole room, as compared to an entry level receiver before.

Custom installed HT's in the US mags use bookshelf size speakers but all use powerful $1000-4000 receivers or power amps.

Your room boundaries aid in reinforcing the sound of your speakers. With a bigger room and farther boundaries, reinforcement is less, you therefore need more power. more power=more money involved.

If you are on a budget, I suggest you stay in your older 15sqm room. If you arent going to play your HT loud (I doubt)  in your bigger room, then dont change anything. If you arent sensitive to distortion, you may not need to change anything.

go for the 9.1's and center.  Like I always say, pour your budget to a good subwoofer instead of a floorstander, cuz you are gona set em to small setting in your receiver anyway.

From the specs, RX-V663 could be a very good rival to mid-level HDMI 1.3 receivers from Onkyo and Denon. Can decode Dolby True HD, DTS Master Audio, pre-outs for all channels, Audyssey-like YPAO calibration, Burr brown DACs, some other useful features and a bonus of 2 subwoofer pre-outs.

More info and comparison with current RX-V 661:

Anyone knows when it will be released locally and corresponding price?

Yamaha folks, please advise.  If I'm looking for V_57 or V_59 series receivers...which shop would you recommend?   I'm not really particular with latest hdmi ports.  Just want to get decent 5.1/7.1 setup.

thanks!
