Yamaha AVENTAGE 2021 AV Receivers Bulk Up on Power and 8K Features

[Tankini]

@AcuDefTechGuy any news from the Yamaha rep? 2025 is coming to end and still nothing. I wonder will Yamaha announce the new models at CES on 6.1.2026? From PR point of view it would make sense. I heard from EU distributor that the new models will have fresh look. Maybe ditching the small display and moving the volume knob back to where it belongs?

Lol, Yamaha lol, will do a refresh of the front panel. Be like, No volume knob, no buttons on the front panel just one huge front display. Be like a Apple iPhone display, big touch screen, lites up just a bunch of apps.


Digital VU meter app. Touch front screen display, LED mini light display that changes colors to the beat of the music/movie soundtrack. One little hole on front display for the room correction mic plug-in. So customers don't have to have use HDMI out to a monitor to use all the setting's Lol. Redesign amp section to be more like Buckeye amps be like 15 pounds total weight 1/2 the size AVR's are now. With a whole bunch of little caps switching power supplies, 1000 watts x 2 into 8 Ohms and still charge $3,500. Be like 0.0001 THD. @PENG will be like, yea! now we talking about time. Lol.



Happy Holidays fellas!! Best wishes to All you whippersnappers!

Yamaha should have no trouble designing/building class D amps, they should do it, its time to be the leader.

1000 W is a tall order, I would be happy to see 200 W 8 ohm, 350 W 4 ohm, but 500 W 4 ohm dynamic output, THD+N of 0.01% is good order at the speakers out, but better be no more than 0.001% at preamp output 2 Vrm.

On top of your wish list, please add mine, that is, expand the use of PEQ with YPAO to at least 10 bands, and also add Dirac as a paid option like Masimo's. The more manufacturers support Dirac, the cheaper the licensing fees would become.

If they do that, I believe we would soon see the mainstay will eventually include only D+M, Y, S, okay may be O+I too, the rest, such as Arcam, NAD, Anthem (unless they smarten up by working harder on their potentially viable AARC), can go back to their two channel and/or so called Audiophile domain.
