Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Jan 12, 2004
Pros: Clear Clean Crisp, excellent separation with plenty of power.
Cons: Average to Poor manual. Could use more cooling under load.
Summary: After much debate and tons of research we replaced a Sony DB-940 with a Yamaha HTR-5660. While playing the music loud through my Sony the output finals gave way. A suitable replacement, rather than repair, had to be made and for a comparable price. As a ... read more

Pros: Low THD. Lots of hookups for all your electronics. Decent power.
Cons: Sound reproduction not as crisp or sharp as could be.

Pros: Pretty good bang for the buck; clean sound; very good quality for home theater
Cons: Low on power; too many variables in terms of sound fields and other adjustments
Summary: I bought the 5660 over a comparably priced Sony on the salesman's recommendation. I have it set up in a 5.1 format with pretty decent Klipsch speakers in a large (28x18) room. I'm pleased with it for home theater (although mildly disappointed with the ... read more

Pros: FM Reception, 6 channel surround, clean sound, RMS power.
Cons: No record player inputs.
Summary: 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

Pros: Sound quality; hook-ups; price (Found a return at Bestbuy for $369);
Cons: No onscreen menus - not a big deal; lack of a record player connection.
Summary: Long time user of Sony and Pioneer receivers. Replaced a Pioneer VSX 850s with this unit. Significant improvement in sound quality. Dolby Digital from both DVD's and Directv now sounds like I am at the theater. However, this unit really shines

Pros: Crisp, steady power
Cons: Moderate power
Summary: This unit is not the thunderous Sony ES, but does impress all who are lucky enough to hear it's 6.1 channel performance with "The Matrix". For less than $500, good luck finding a better deal.
