I guess I had it wrong. I thought he Dialogue Life and Virtual Presence were the same where it sounded like there was an additional pair of speakers but, not in actuality. The 673 does have that feature. http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/Yamaha/Yamaha-RX-V673.18.jpg This is why I had...

Amazon seems to be about it for a new one but, I have no qualms about ordering from them. I'd done so for years. Malcolm did recommend it over the 475 and there were a couple things I liked about it over the 475. There's so many choices out there it's worse than trying to find your favorite...

I've noticed the RX-V673 is not available most places like Best Buy, B&H Photo, New Egg, or ebay etc. They say it's no longer available. About the only place is Amazon. Must be this past years model.

I went upstairs to check out a movie favorite I hadn't seen in a while and especially since I got the BD player, "Pearl Harbor". I went to the scene where they were doing the bombing and all speakers including the subwoofer did an admirable job. It was like you were in the middle of it all. I...

That was the setup. This subwoofer in the back has a connection marked "LFE" and two others marked R and another L, Line Level Input. I assume just one cable goes from the LFE to the new AVR sub out?

That was their preferred method "for most systems" and the method I went with. It's been hooked into the 5560 like that since 2002.

If you buy all brand speakers alike, will that help with the matching? I thought the Klipsch would fit in great as front channel speakers but perhaps not. This is verbatim the Polk instructions on the subwoofer... "Connect the left and right channel speaker output from your electronics to the...

I didn't mention the subwoofer hookup I did many years back and don't know if it would be good for a newer AVR receiver. Polk had recommend instead of the conventional single cable AVR to subwoofer connection to rather hook the left and right front channel speakers to one side of the dual...

I'm not sure I'd know how to match the speakers. The Klipsch speakers I bought back around 1982 or so were bought as part of a new audio system. The Polk center channel speaker (CS400i) was purchased in 2002 along with the subwoofer(PSW450), rear surround Polk speakers and Yamaha AVR when I...

Nice looking receiver. I noticed it has component(IN) connections but no component out. The video inputs must be upconverted to HDMI. My old receiver has in and out for component connections. The power output rating is not quite as high as the Yamaha at 75 wpc. That must be an older receiver as...

I wish he had taken some pics of the back of that 591. Used lens an be as good as new. It depends on where you get them. I wouldn't touch one on ebay. I've had superb luck in the past at KEH Camera Brokers out of Atlanta. They rate them Good, EX, EX+, LN or New. The EX+ lens I've bought looked...

One thing I won't buy used is electronics. I'll buy used cars, guns or camera lens but skiddish about used electronics. I've got plenty of money so, no problem. :)

That'll work. I noticed it has two connections for the subwoofer...haven't seen that before.

The bottom line to this question is I may be getting an up to date AV receiver and need some advice. It will replace my 12 year old Yamaha HTR-5560 that has given superb service and performance. I'm a soon to be 68 year old dinosaur that doesn't have nor care about Androids, ipods, iphones...
