From what I read about the latest version it is encouraging, but for me I would wait until they address the 31 Hz limitation Gene mentioned in the article linked below. For those who won't use room EQ then I think the RX-A3060 is the best 2016 AVR for the price. It offers top specs and reportedly (mostly by M Codem base on past models insider stats) best reliability records.

But what about bass frequency correction?
Historically YPAO has been ineffective for subwoofer correction as we've found when reviewing the CX-A5000, RX-Z7 and RX-A1010 models. We 're hoping YPAO algorithms have been improved since then and plan on testing this in a future formal review. What is exciting however is Yamaha's upgrade to the manual PEQ function for ALL new models.
"We are pleased to see that Yamaha put in a significant upgrade per my repeated suggestions. Last year when I met with their engineers at CEDIA to consult about the benefits of low frequency EQ correction, I knew they were serious about making this change. As a result, Yamaha's manual PEQ now works down to 15Hz. In the past it was limited to 31Hz which was ineffective for dealing with very low frequency modal issues that plague most home theater rooms. With this change, Yamaha is enabling advanced users with useful subwoofer EQ correction.
Subwoofer equalization (EQ) is supported in all AVENTAGE RX-A 60 Series AV receivers and the RX-A760 model on up benefit from subwoofer parametric EQ down to 15.6 Hz. Note, this is only for manual PEQ function. YPAO correction is still limited to 31Hz which is likely due to limitations of the accuracy of microphone being used."
For those who believe and will always use REQ, then IMOO D&M's are the ones to bit. Anthem's MRX720 will be a great alternative, probably even better REQ but a little less on features and specs. Again, that's just my 2 cents.
