I recently upgraded my Yamaha RXA1040 to the RXA2080 and I have to say I am very pleased. I can highly recommend any of the top three receivers in the Yamaha Aventage receivers. I've have tried various other receivers but Yamaha has always been a solid performer. And they last and last. I still have a RXV2400 that's still working like the day I bought it 17 years ago and of course the RXA1040 is still working fine. I upgraded mainly for Dolby Atmos and a little more power always helps.
