I want to get the new XPA-5 to power my av123 750's & bigfoot & I'll even run the rs300s off it too.

Probably overkill but it's like there's an uncontrolable urge to do it. I want more power. I'll just use the yammy rx v659 as pre-amp.

I would probably be just as happy with an LPA1 but those 200 watts are just screaming at me to buy it!

no it doesnt sound bad its just not a very full bodied sound if that makes since. and i have had 5 diff sets of speakers on it and it makes no difference the sound is still kinda weak great clarity tho

I understand that, but it's a bottom of the barrel Yamaha receiver. The RX-V1800 will be far above it in performance.

Check the current Sound & Vision magazine. I think that 1800 is listed as 1 of the best 21 products of the year or something. I wouldn't be so vague if the lady ahead of me had more groceries to buy and the lady behind me wasn't in such a hurry.

You're kidding, right? Just in case you're not, I was reading the magazine in the grocery store. It's not that I'm too cheap to buy the magazine. It's against my principles.

Yeah, of course, I was kidding.

It just sounded funny-- picturing you guys in line at the grocery stores writing on Audioholics forum and rushing it.

What do you think of the new $5,000 Yamaha receiver?
