I'm surprised nobody has responded. I know this is an audiophile forum, but at some point we all must transition to the 21st century. Functions such as zone management via phone or remote, Wifi, Bluetooth etc. are all functions that should be available to Home Theatre consumers without sacrificing sound/video quality. Moreover, easy of use and flexibility are increasingly important issues to the vast majority of consumers.
Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A2040/3040?
I have a Denon AVR 4310 and I'm think about replacing it with the Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A2040 or 3040. A friend has the 2030 and I really liked how he could use his phone to set-up and use different zones to play music in various areas of the house, including his backyard.
Ease of use and the ability to play music in various parts of the house and backyard is important, but equally important is sound quality. I don't want to sacrifice sound quality and to that end I've never been very impressed with Yamaha AVR's. They've always seemed clinical and veiled to me.
Does anyone have experience with the Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A2040 or 3040 and can they recommend it? Does it come close to an audiophile experience with the ease of zone use that I'm looking for? Is there something better out there in the same price range?
Thanks!
