Yamaha RX-A8A

Lives up to the hype

Awesome grunt, clean natural sound and delivers under the most demanding sound tracks without any fuss. Easy set up once you get to know what does what and how it interacts. On screen menu is excellent. App also good to use enabling changes without interuption during movies. The scene function is awesome. 2 channel stereo listening very impressive with balanced sound and softer than expected top end which compliments my Elac 208A's ribbon tweeters. I upgraded from a Denon 4306 (14 yo), a significant step up both in class of amp and processing ability as would be expected.
