Comments about Yamaha RX-V871 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver - Black:
I am moving from an older Yamaha RX-V1000 receiver. The RX-V871 is the current top unit in Yamaha's mid-tiered product line. It includes newer features than my lower-end-of-the-top-tier unit. The inclusion of HDMI switching, support of HD versions of DTS and Dolby, and Internet connectivity compensate for the loss of 50 Watts on the amp side. That Yamaha support 8, 6, and 4 ohm spoeaker is critical to me and something competative brands don't do at this tier. It continued to support my Magnaplanar speakers well.
