Title says it all, I have the chance to pick this up tonight but I’m hesitant because I’m still new to the world of HT and receivers particularly, so I don’t wanna rush into anything if it’s not a really good deal
I have a thread that outlines the specific use case and details of my set up here: Tips for buying used receiver for a budget HT setup?
Yamaha makes very good receivers, don’t spend alot on your first system and remember that you have to decide to focus on HT or Music, because a 2 or 2.1 Stereo receiver will guve better musical performance over a HT receiver, generally.
But yes Yamaha makes good equipment.
I have both a Yamaha 2.1 stereo receiver and a 5.1 home theater receiver and both are excellent products. The 5.1 I have is the RX-V385 and the 2.1 is the R-S202BL. I don’t think you can go wrong with Yamaha as a brand in this area.
But is that relevant in my scenario?
Is the topping mx3 better for music that the yamaha rx-775?
I would go for the Yamaha over the topping.
I ended up getting a Marantz SR-6001 instead for $50 I’m trying to hook it up now, wish me luck!
What do you guys reckon?
