Yamaha RX-V485 review

Can the Yamaha RX-V485 beat out the stiff competition?

Lots of smart features ; Good sound quality ; Easy to use ; Wireless surround

Missing Google Cast support ; Limited to 5.1 channels

The Yamaha RX-V485 is a great way to go if you like the idea of wireless surround speakers and don’t mind using a 5.1 system – but, if you need Google Cast or more channels, there are other options in the price range.
