Pros

Rear's are same size as the rb-51's only polk. Sub is a bic acoustech pl-200 and is a monster. An app that is made specifically for this amp.

Ypao app rocks. Switching from pandora, to net radio, to a full 12 hour long youtube playlist on my note3, while sitting in the hot tub or from the garage is something everyone should experience. Yamaha controller app is a high point for me.



Cons

Missing onscreen setup to turn off subwoofer filters. Receiver hiccups when using coaxial digital input at random times. I wonder if this is an hdmi connector issue.

The problem is the network capabilities. It has a 2 year warranty, but it's such a pain for them to travel 50 miles to have it repaired. Usually after the warranty expires, get a 5 year warranty or go new.

No problem getting refund. It's rude and disrespectful to their customers.

Quality


It has airplay and is very easy to control with the app.


I listen to high quality cd's, and home theater movies.


This one has nothing to compare with the other one.


So, i had a lemon, the bad product.


But where was the quality control ?


The sound quality is good, but, at 105 watts per channel, i have to crank up the sound level more than i expected to have to.

Price


Great price, wonderful amp, and timely shipping!


This is a great product for the price.

Competitiveness


When the price dropped, it was a no-brainer to grab.


Wakes up my nht classic three speakers.


4) no s-video input - not that i have anything like that anymore!
