Started putting speakers and stuff together over a yr ago with plans to set up a HT, but had a delay - and divorce - in getting enough room in a house. I'll be getting into a new place soon and started looking at receivers again. I saw a big sale on the yamaha rx-v675 and almost jumped on it, but I haven't been truly shopping for a couple years. I wanted to check with some real geeks first. How does it line up with others in that range? A lot's changed and I want to future-proof as much as possible. Nowadays you have systems like the SONOS sets that provide different theater and full house audio options... and the theres the traditional way of wiring everything. I don't simply want the cheapest 7.1 HTIB but I also can see the rabbits hole of options costing an arm and leg very quickly.

The Yamaha's are good receivers, of course, the real determining factor is whether it has the features you want. If you stick to Yamaha, Harman/Kardon, Pioneer, Marantz, Denon, and Onkyo you be in good shape.

Regardless, the key for all receivers is getting a good price. If you keep your eye peeled the one you want will eventually go on sale. As for the 675, if you see it at $300 it's a good buy.

If you are okay with refurbished, acc4less is a goo option, as they offer good warranties,

Whats the difference between the 765 and 677? They have a bundle going with receiver and 5 channel speaker kit. Would obviously need to get a sub. Is it that great of a deal with the speakers or better off waiting to get a receiver for 300 and other speakers? http://dealnews.com/b561/Yamaha/
