I’ll admit that exceptional HTIBs are worth a look, especially now that there are a few models equipped with Blu-ray players. But for the home theater neophyte on a budget, it’s smarter to choose your own speakers, mate them with a budget A/V receiver like the Yamaha RX-V463, and...
The RX-V871’s front panel has a step-down shape that divides it horizontally into two parts. Only the white display and a few miscellaneous buttons occupy the top. The bottom has the usual two large knobs for input and volume. Four Scene buttons—which unite specific inputs with specific...
Yamaha’s new Aventage RX-A2070 nine-channel AVR tackles all those tasks and numerous others, likely including a few that I missed altogether. (For all I know, it can make crêpes or work as a crockpot: The manual runs to 208 pages, and I won’t pretend to have read all of them....
allowing for a one-step power-up of both units. However, while it may have been a simple malfunction, the 1400 failed to communicate with the remote’s volume and mute keys on 3 separate programming attempts.
(like an average room, no doubt). Most channels got seven adjustments, the maximum number of parameters allowed by the RX-V2400's equalizer, but a few got just three or four. Pluses outnumbered minuses by about three to one, suggesting that my room has more notches than peaks. The ...
If the point of affordable receivers is to take market share from the soundbars, then the RX-V4A is unlikely to succeed. Then we have much more threat on big brother RX-V6A, which has the channels little brother is missing. Plus in the book for the power features through MusicCast, bu...
How we test AV receivers The $1900, 150 watt per channel RX-A3010 is the A3000’s replacement and even though there isn’t much to discuss in the way of changes over the prior year, this is our first time getting our hands on the Aventage bad-boy, so we’re going to dig into th...

In a perfect world, some of the things we would change if we could would be: Honda and Yamaha need handguards. KTM needs a skid plate. Our test bikes had these for our protection. Honda needs to get an on-the-fly map switch and have an app tuner like Yamaha d...
