gabba2's Full Review: Yamaha HTR-5660 6.1 Channels Receiver
I was skeptical about this receiver because it is only 85 watts X6, but it turns out that it is more than enough power. I replaced a 100wX5 Pioneer receiver, and the Yamaha definitely goes louder and distorts less at high volume. My complaint is that there isn't a record player input - but I have a second older 100wX2 Yamaha amplifier that I use to power a Cerwin Vega sub and two JBL bookshelf speakers. I just hooked the record player to that, and ran a line out to the new Yamaha receiver. The new Yamaha is hooked to two MTX "Monitor 12" speakers, and JBL Center (front and rear), with Design Acoustics surround speakers. It easily powers everything in 6-channel mode clearly and with a punch. The Pioneer couldn't move the Monitor 12's like this receiver does. Also, the FM reception is great too!
