    Yamaha RX-V630 vs. RX-V2300

    Thanks, for the info. I appreciate the feedback and think I will make the jump. There was a reason for me only putting Yamaha's in the post :) There seems to be a lot of "debating" between which brand to choose. I figured I wold get more subjective comments if I did it this way. I narrowed...

    Do wall plates diminish the quality?

    I have 3 pairs of speakers run throughout the house. One being my rear channel pair. I am considering using a Wall plate with banana jacks at the wall behind the receiver. I am wondering if a wall plate will diminish the quality. I plan to use 12 gage speaker wire. Thanks, Mike
