Yamaha RX-V1800

 

The design looks like a less imaginative version of Denon's AVR-3808 and has been carefully constructed and cleanly finished, while the underlying specification bears similarities with most of its rivals.

Decent build quality; comprehensive features; warm and cohesive sound quality

Basic menus and automatic calibration system; explosive scores can sound comparatively strained

The $1,000 receiver market is hotter than ever, as manufacturers clamor to pack as much functionality and power into a simple box for less than the other guy. However, you get what you pay for and, while it may be easy to find a receiver that costs...

Yamaha RX-V1800 AV Receiver

 

Kickin' butt and takin' soundfield names For as long as I can remember (although the time scale is questionable nowadays), Yamaha has been a strong player in the AV receiver game.
