    New Yamahas

    <font color='#000000'>Audiouser; You make some excellent points and voice very good questions. &nbsp;Perhaps Yamaha will come on here when they have the time and answer some of your questions. As for profit margins between receivers and very esoteric high end separates, and sometimes over...

    Yamaha and THX ultra2

    <font color='#000000'>Bob; I am starting to feel the same way. &nbsp;With the power these new super receivers are offering, packed with their superior technology over most dedicated pre/pros in their price range and beyond, it is often the case when people employ reasonably efficient speakers...

    <font color='#000000'>You are correct MikeyB we are sometimes unfair to manufacturers by explicitly stating our views that we believe they manufactured substandard products for the money.  That was one of the primary reasons for starting this website over 4 years ago. We apologize that you may...

    Do you use Dolby Pro Logic II with your CDs?

    <font color='#000000'>I personally listen to DPLII or DTS Neo on older CD's or those that weren't recorded that well to add depth an ambience to the recording that ordinarily isn't there. &nbsp;However, for the ultimate recorded CD or SACD, I am a 2CH purist &nbsp;</font>
