Hey I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a big difference between the amp sections of these two receivers.

I have heard people say that there is and that there isn't Hoping someone can clarify.

Thanks

define "big"

Well the reply that caused me to ask was a yamaha dealer saying that that 2700 does a MUCH better job driving dynaudio focus 220s than the 1700. Now no clue what MUCH means but it seems significant.


so I guess in this case big meaning noticeable

not noticeable. use the difference in cost to buy an external amp, that would have more chance of being noticeable than the two yamahas.

+1 you will find feature set not power to be the difference in mid and upper avrs

I can't imagine there would be that much of a difference in the amp sections between those two receivers. I second the suggestion of using an external amp.

I doubt there is much difference in the amplifier sections. There are, however, plenty of feature differences, and those might matter to you. I suggest a visit to Yamaha's web site for details on exact features.
