Pros: Excellent value, quality, sound and effects. Great for music and movies! Cons: Possibly bright sound that can be countered/minimized with neutral speakers (Boston Acoustics, Paradigm...)
Being that I'm not really an audiophile; my ears just have not developed to the point of being able to be seriously critical on the subject of sound quality. However, I have always been a music lover, but even more so, a video lover; a videophile. I do ...
Pros: Sound is great-music or TV. Learning remote. Inputs and outs for everything, HDTV ready Cons: Should include seat belts for recliner! Beginners may need help learning this receiver.
I listen to music as much as TV so I wanted high current amps with enough power to shake the house. The RX-V1300 coupled to my Definitive Technology BP2002TLs delivers this with power to spare. A and B speaker selection allows you to put sound in other...
Pros: Excellent value for a fully loaded receiver; sound processing (Dolby, DTS, DSP) sounds non-synthetic. Cons: Much more complicated than earlier generations of (plain stereo) receivers.
I was looking for a replacement for an old but high quality simple stereo receiver (part of a failin ...
Pros: Great Sound Processing. Numerous inputs and outputs. True 6.1 Receiver. Extensive customization options. Cons: Remote Control is not backlit.
This new replacement for the RX-V1200 is loaded with great features. The first difference is the increase in power for this receiver. Where the RX-V1200 was rated at 80Wattsx6, the new RX-V1300 is rated at 100Wattsx6. Another great aspect of this...
Pros: Clarity and crispness in both music and movie modes. 192/24 DACs on all channels. Cons: Sounds a little TOO bright (crisp) in my opinion
Yamaha has consistently made great products. I own an RX-V590 receiver which I purchased in 1996. After almost 7 full years of usage, it still is ticking and no need of repairs in sight.
The sound however is more important to me than repair...
Pros: All the inputs/outputs I needed and then some. Cons: Took me a while programming all the settings.(although its default settings are fine)
I purchased this about 3 months ago, so i can't attest to it's long term reliability, but I have yet to have any problems what so ever or any significant complaints. I have, however, had plenty of good things to say about it to all my friends that have...
Pros: Great sound and plenty of power
Nice, usable features Cons: Crowded back panel
I've had my RX-V1300 for over 3 years now and I still love it. I am now upgrading to a RX-V2700. The DSP modes are great, I like to listen to a little music in the mornings before work and either use the 6 Channel Stereo or the DTS Music Matrix. It's smart enough to keep your settings even after unpowering it. For movies, it has Digital Adventure or you can opt for the Dolby Digital D EX. The Jazz club also sounds good for music, the Hall & Church are to much echo for me. It's not hard to use and has a nice programable remote that comes with it. The sound quality is impressive and will get very loud. This was my first Yamaha receiver and I am completely sold, I wouldn't buy anything else buy Yamaha now (yes Denon, Adcom, etc. are also great but Yammy has it all - features, performance, price. Can't beat em.
