Performance

Yamaha RX-V550

Two-zone 6.1-channel A/V receiver; great, natural sound quality; adjustable lip-sync delay; 29 surround programs; A/B speaker switching.

For this much money, we'd expect onscreen menus.

Yamaha's midline receiver sounds especially fine on music but doesn't neglect its home-theater gusto.

Yamaha RX-V550

Real jam. Audiophiles dream. Im using it mainly in stereo with Tannoy m-4 s, with added Jensen pro 8 inch 300W woofers and Transparent cables, no need for optical, optical deteriorates sound.

Linearity, controlled bass, details, wide stage, never expected for this price

Nothing so far

"Very good receiver at a great price."

With the replacement model out now this model is now available at a price that is well below is true worth. Easy to use with sound quality across all formats that delivers each and every time. I am running Projector, TV, PS2, PC, DVD through this unit...

"Good sounding receiver - good picture"

I have this receiver connected to my Panasonic Progressive scan DVD, Dish Network DVR 522 sat TV, and PS2. The video is then sent to a Infocus SP 4805 projector, and the sound to Bose Acoustimass 5.1 speaker system.
