Yamaha RX-V665 AV Receiver
Page 1 of 5
Part of what I enjoy most about this hobby is helping other people get into it. Given that, I'm a big fan of mid- to entry-level home theater equipment, since most people asking for advice about their first system are not looking to dole out beaucoup bucks, especially in this economy. Yamaha has a great history with their A/V receiver product line, with many excellent products in the mid- to entry-level range. I've owned the same Yamaha receiver (RX-V995) for an amazing 10 years now and it's still going strong. What's even more amazing, is how much receiver you get today, for half of what I paid for mine, 10 years ago. Yamaha's latest entry-level receiver, the RX-V665 at an MSRP of $550, is loaded with features and excellent performance.
