Many AVRs have the ability to direct extra unused channels to the front L/R speakers for bi-amping. I do this with my Yamaha to ease the load on the amp. 
Miracast not working on new Yamaha BD-S677 bluray player - Please advise me
Thanks that is all done plus the 'wireless display' is enabled on the ’Cast screen’. The problem was even though I don’t use wi-fi yet, the setting has to be enabled in the phone. Now it works. The only caveat is I can only see screens and photos ...

Best HT 5.1 for movies and music (50/50)?
Martinman,I've had only 2-channel systems from high-end to budget system in the past and just purchased my first modern HT system. After a lot of research and deliberation I choose the Yamaha rxs740 Aventage avr. It is their entry level Aventage 7...

The system is so revealing it is easy to hear the improvement in sound stepping up from CDs to HDCDs to SACDs. Sound is very involving which I thought was not possible w/ an AVR and Bluray/SACD player. I think I'm a convert to home theater. BTW, m...

Turned off various dynamic sound features and re-calibrated the system. It sounds clear, balanced and wonderful now. Sacds and hdcds sound stunning.

I ordered the Yammie rxa740 and bds677 on Wed morning and received it on Fri morning. Fast shipping from A4L.I upgraded software on both units to the latest available from their website using a usb thumb drive.I've begun setting it up using their ...

I ordered the Yamaha RX-A740 Advantage receiver and BD-S677 BluRay w/SACD universal player from A4L. Looking forward to my first new pieces of equipment since the early '70s.

I read that one, but others gave it a very good review. Makes you wonder. Maybe I should look at the Yamaha and Marantz more seriously.

I was wondering about the low power of Marantz. The Denon would be a better choice of these w/ almost double the power and ability to drive lower impedance. 
McIntosh MA6200 and tube preamp
It's worth a try. Years ago I mated a AES (Cary) tube pre w/ an older Pass Labs amp w/ outstanding results. Tubes gave a large 3D soundstage and SS offered up plenty of detail.

I like the look and features of the 1605. I hope 50wpc is enough when the others are 90wpc. My living/dining area is 22x18. But ultimately I want the best sound, what ever the brand.
