Yamaha v1065 vs 2065

[mgsiv]

Hey everyone,

I am looking at upgrading my receiver (Onkyo ht-r667) with a new yamaha 65 series. I am looking at the 1065 vs the 2065. I am running Infinity tss-1200 5.1 surround and I was wondering if the 105w that the 1065 pushes will be enough power. This onkyo POS pushes 130w but the HDMI handshake card is nearly gone. After a year and a half my ps3 only works in standard definition and I have to wait 15 min. before even my cable box will be recognized in HD. Anyway, how will the yammys 105w compare with the 130w I am pushing now?

Any advise is welcome...thanks

Yes the 1065 should be fine. The 667 is akin to the 661 which is 90W @ full range as opposed the 667's 130W @ 1 KHz.

If you are looking at both the 2065 & the 1065, go with the 2065. It has LAN capability, DLNA support, an extra HDMI out, additional power.

It would be awhile before you outgrow this receiver.

However, I guess since you have a PS3, you can probably use that instead for DLNA if you wanted.
