Yamaha HTR vs. RX series

[ike2010]

Hello all. I am in the market for a new A/V receiver and it has come down to the Denon 1906 and the Yamaha RX-V657. However, I have also noticed the HTR series from Yamaha. Can someone please explain the difference between these two Yamaha series? The models I'm looking at seem to be very similar. Thanks.

Go to the bottom right and click on "whats the difference..."
Aside from whats mentioned there, the RXV series models have a zone 2 pre-out section for running a signal to an external amp to power zone 2 speakers in another room.

There's a link to it on Yamaha's main receiver page:

I have the HTR-5860 which is the HTR equivalent of the RX-V657 and I would recommend it. The only feature missing is the zone 2 output and you should be able to find the HTR model for a lower price.
