    Denon 5803 or Yamaha Z9

    <font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; I will say, IMO the warmest and most musical sounding amp I ever heard Yamaha put out was the DSP-A3090. &nbsp;That integrated amp graced my system for almost 6 months, but I ultimately let it go because it lacked too many features (IE. DTS, 6CH outs, etc)...

    Denon 5803 or Yamaha Z9

    <font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; Your statements surprise me. &nbsp;The RX-Z1 and Z9 use higher grade DAC's then the DSP-A1. &nbsp;Also, both units have more power, PLII, improved DSP modes, remotes, etc. &nbsp; While I never compared the DSP-A1 directly to the Z1 or Z9, I can tell you the...

    Denon 5803 or Yamaha Z9

    YAMAHA RXV-2400 REVIEW

    <font color='#000000'>Bill; I see where you are coming from, but don't believe the Yamaha is that sophisticated to determine that.  However, I could be wrong, thus I will pose this to them. Please also realize that due to holidays and up and coming CES show, their response may not surface...

    YAMAHA RXV-2400 REVIEW

    <font color='#000000'>Bill; I guess I am still not following you. &nbsp;Disconnect all speakers and simply max out the master volume control and read the display on your TV. &nbsp;All I was stating is that at full volume, the bar was not full. &nbsp;This is independent of any speaker connection...

    "situations where bi-wiring is just hype"

    <font color='#000000'>Gentlemen; The advantages of biwiring are minimal, but if you hear a difference than by all means go for it! &nbsp;The reduced DC resistance and inductance of paralleling two sets of wires could be advantageous. &nbsp;However, be mindful if you select high capacitance...

    <font color='#000000'>Shocker; To my knowledge, no receiver or preamp outputs OSD via 1080i signal for a very good reason, picture degradation. &nbsp;You should be able to access the OSD when you press stop on your DVD player though.</font>
