    Did we spend more for the Anthem MRX500 than we need or can appreciate? Asking for guidance and comm

    Purchased the Yamaha RD-A2010 at model close out price of $949! Just had the weekend but has an incredibly clear picture and the sound is incredible. More to come as I experiment and get used to this receiver. Everything MUCH better than the expensive Anthem, I had!! I want to thank everyone for...

    I would like to see a clarification of what you mean re profit margins, etc.- am I missing something? Sure wish the and had an ethernet plug - that would be the one. However, it might be nice and clean like the anthem that I don't like.

    I know about NAD and have been interested - maybe we should try one. A salesman at Fryes (whom I know much more than they) told be, when comparing the Yamaha RS-A820 to the Onkyo TX-NR818 and other Onkyo, that the Onkyo gets too hot and the AV chips don't mean much - the amplifier is the most...

    Looking at the Yamaha RX-A820 and the Onkyo TX-NR818 or 717. Do you think there will be a difference in the video (like I saw with the Yamaha RX-A2010) between these? I have never listened to an Onkyo but someone told me it has a "dirty" sound, whatever that means. How would you compare these as...

    I noticed a difference in the video of the Yamaha RX-A2010. It was sharper and my assumption it is the new HQV chip. I am interested in the RX-A810 which has been replaced with the 820 with fewer needed features. Have not been able to find an 810 to watch - would I notice that same difference...

    one last thing. I suppose any of the mid range receivers such as the Yamaha Adventege , RX series, Denon AVR2313, AVR2113 and some Marantz, Pioneer Elite in the $600 - $800 range would work well with the speaker setup we have - correct? Is there any brand I am missing or does anyone have a...

    I am using 5 Speakercraft in-ceiling speakers (either Aim or Profile Aim) with a Definitive Technologies ProSub 1000. Is the new Adventage line from Yamaha worth considering or shall I stay with the RSX mid-upper lines? I was looking at the Pioneer Elite (which I've never owned) and the VSX-60...

    Sold a Yamaha AV receiver (RX-V?? around $550 new) and wanted to upgrade to a receiver that might possibly our last, so went to buy a Marantz. The dealer showed us the Anthem 300 and 500 and we read the few reviews that we could find and decided to "invest" the money in the Anthem. The dealer...
