Bought a Yamaha htr5890 I like it, good enough for this kid. I was jumping around too much between it and HK. Got a screaming deal.
Set up was great Ypao is a great feature for a lazy guy.

Now for the questions

What is the difference between the htr and rx lines, looks and price?

What speaker is a good match for Yamaha, I have PSB's but I see them always paired with Paradym.

Third is there a "breaking in period" I see this mentioned about alot of recievers.

Thanks alot for the help

No real difference between the RX-V and HTR lines. You can read this information on the Yamaha site.

Speakers? Try some out and see what sounds best to you.

Break-In period? The gear can change slightly, but most of the effects of a "break-in" period are our own ears adjusting to the gear.

Yamaha has the reputation of being bright. So you'd probably prefer it paired with neutral/warm speakers. Only your ears can tell...

From mid level down, most PSBs and Paradigms sound similar to each other - PSB Image and Alpha, and Paradigm Monitor and Performance. Personally, I like the Paradigm Performance series better than the PSB Alpha series. I like the PSB Image series better than the Paradigm Monitor series.

Switching one for the other generally won't yeild huge improvements. If you're going up a level, that's a different story.

Which PSB's do you have now, and which Paradigms were you thinking about?

Ive heard people say they like the Paridigms better just wanted to hear what you all said.
