Yamaha was recomended to me, when I first started to look for a avr......it's controls are very similar to the old stereo receivers. I am glad I got the Yamaha, I have really enjoyed all that good, clean power.
One thing I noticed right away, when I was "researching" avr's prior to my buying........was the thd factor. For some reason, the "new" amps were pushing nearly, 1% thd. (in many cases).
I ended up spending more than I was going to originally, to get the 0.02 thd the Yamaha avr I have, has.
