Yamaha reviews

Yamaha RX-V3800

The Yamaha RX-V3800 boasts all the features expected of a top-of-the-line receiver, and while audio performance is exceptional video could use some work.

Yamaha Digital Sound Projector YSP4000BSWi

The Yamaha YSP4000BSWi has a great range of features and is still one of the best 5.1 simulators, but it may not represent the best value for money.

Yamaha RX-Z11

The Yamaha RX-Z11 is the company's first flagship receiver in almost four years which features an 11.2 channel output and support for (almost) every format known to human-kind.

Yamaha YSP-1100

Although it's expensive, we really liked the Yamaha YSP-1100's excellent sound, which makes movies much more involving.

Yamaha YHT-585B

Its design is old school, but the YHT-585B does have a powerful and rich sound that would go well in a dedicated home theatre room.

The Yamaha RX-V661 is a solid, budget AV receiver with HD switching, but it's a tough sell when models with next-generation HDMI 1.3 features are about to hit the market.

Yamaha YSP-900SW

If you have limited space or patience for calibrating speakers, but still crave surround sound action, Yamaha's sound projector range could be the ticket.

Yamaha RX-N600

Digital music fans will find a lot to like about the Yamaha RX-N600, but its dearth of HDMI options will frustrate HDTV owners.

While the unit may not appeal to audiophiles, the Yamaha YHT-175 offers a solid and reasonably priced midrange surround sound solution for those who want to add that extra dimension to their home theatre setups.

Yamaha RX-V2600

The Yamaha RX-V2600's seductive sound is matched by its up-to-the-minute features and stellar build quality, but its video options fall just short of the best we've seen.

Yamaha RX-V659B

As long you don't need HDMI compatibility, the Yamaha RX-V659 A/V receiver offers good sound quality, a full panoply of features and a solid value.

This feature-laden A/V receiver's surround-processing options give it an edge over the midrange competition.
