In Reply to: RE: Yamaha RX-V373 5.1-Channel AV Receiver posted by docw on March 29, 2012 at 14:42:47
ive read in home theater secrets that wt of the receiver important. the non hdmi are 8 lbs heavier. well the onkyo 696 is.on ebay I found a 5.1 hdmi onkyo nr 50980 wt 40 lbs the specs say they weigh that much but its hard to believe it. there new for $300 to $400. that onkyo 696 new was $600 now the hdmi ones are only $300 so I think they messed with the amps. the old ones used wratt tecnology they were high current amps.well good luck finding an amp. ps most of the hdmi amps 100wt or less are about 20lbs I checked onkyo & denon. so my guess is the yamaha is equal to the other brands.

Thanks but the AV system is secondary to my main system, and as you may or may not know, this type of receiver would serve as a pre pro setup, where the main system remains music system. So higher power is not as important, but functionality.
Again, I have an integrated 2 ch amp, 1 sub powered already, and another power amp that could drive the back channels. So in that case a 4.1 phantom center system.
Or use this receiver for center and back channels.
you need to write down how you are goin to make this all work. then buy the receiver.if the receiver does not have the connections it wont work.all you need is hdmi mch analog input and analog mch preout. thats what I use to power 5 amps. 3 are mch and the other 2 are stereo.I cant help you because you want to use the stereos as the main source.just experiment to make it work. thats what I did. no one could help me because I use a lot of gear.I think I have some discs that play back 5.1 in 3 different amps. thats different.I like the sound from bd concerts the best.
my hi rez audio starts from the player it gets fed into 3 mch amps 1 has hdmi the pre outs go to stereo amps. if I want I can play up to 30 speakers at once.I use the hdmi & the analog mch outs at the same time to different receivers. dvd audio is done the same way. I bought a dvd audio player that has 4 front & 4 rear conectors.it also plays sacds.
