Yamaha RX-Z11 11.2 Channel A/V Receiver Review

Review: The Yamaha RX-Z11 has the ability to transform your listening space into an 11.2CH concert venue or cineplex is unrivaled. At its new $2499 price, it's an absolute bargain while it lasts.

Benchmark performance ; Unparalleled multi channel experience for music and movies ; One box solution for whole home audio and video distribution

Complex setup ; Erroneous YPAO results ; Mediocre remote

Yamaha RX-Z11 A/V Receiver

More canals than Venice. My very first home theater system in the mid-'80s had a Yamaha DSP-1 surround processor at its core. Yes, Yamaha has been in the multichannel business for that long, and yes, I'm that old. That first system was sad in many...

Awesome Receiver RX-Z11

The receiver was double boxed by Newegg and for good reason. The outer box was damaged but no damage to the inner box. Newegg is definitely the number one choice for all your electronic purchaces!

Everythig you'ed expect from a high end receiver. Sounds great and feels like they took thier time building the product. The unit picked up my home network without a hitch. Played the songs on my media player perfectly

Like everyone else is saying the remote stinks

Yamaha Z11

Great machine for A/V hobbist.

Awesome machine, great sound, very flexable. Many features. Great price. Thanks New Egg

Not much. Very heavy. Takes two to move. Time consuming to set up due to the many, many features. Manual could be better

Fantastic!

Because of the 24 hour sale on Saturday you had on this receiver, you made me buy it. This was a fantastic deal, and is why I'm constantly on your site. Also, the shipping is so fast. Newegg is alway my first choice!

This receiver is fantastic, it looks stunning, built like a tank and offers a total solution for audio/video home theater. I have setup 2 zones and I'm able to control this via an internet browser connection on my laptop. This is especially handy when...

Unit not double boxed

Amazing upgrade!

Sound is much much better than my old Yammie HTR5240 - even using the same speakers

it doesn't wash the dishes

Superb Audio & DSP

Newegg didn't double box when ship the unit out, my unit almost get damaged during shipment. Double-boxed this expensive & heavy unit would be more secure & recommended.

Top of the line Yamaha Receiver, high quality build. Powerful amplifier section, best DSP in the market. Very big transformer and capacitors, got a lot of reserved power. It can drive 3.2 ohms speakers without any drop out

Just make sure that your audio cabinet is strong enough to handle 75 lbs unit

Great Audio Section

Yamaha appears to be blowing these units out in preparation for a new 2010 model. Get one before they are gone! With the current economy, the next flagship from Yamaha will likely be significanlty cost reduced and something will be missing compared to...

This is my second Z11. It has a fantastic audio section, equal in performance to many external discrete audio amps. When buying an AVR, heavier is better! Most low and mid-end AVRs have high power ratings, but if you read the fine print, are only...

The HDMI ports get loose over time and the cables can fall out. Remote is weak and has limited range. Aftermarket remotes work quite well with the Z11. The Z11 can get very warm if shrouded in an AV Rack. Recommend it be the top component in any stack....
