Yamaha HTR-5890 7.1-Channel A/V Surround Receiver (Black) Immediately

I have had this amp for a few years now. My old Sony amp fried, so Best Buy gave me $600 to play with, so I bought the most expensive amp in the store (this one at the time). It pushed my KX-12's, a Sony Center and Polk surrounds all through college.

I now have upgraded to Definitive Technology BP7006 fronts, the Def Tech 2300 Center, and still have the bipolar Fxi3 Polk surrounds, and it sounds incredible. Absolutely NO distortion at +10db volume. I have subwoofer cable hooked in to each front (built in subs in the fronts and center) and the bass is very accurate and clear (no need for a separate subwoofer when you have three built in).

So Dolby True HD and DTS-HD have come out. I have yet to listen to a system with HD sound, but why fix it if it's not broken? Dolby Digital and DTS sound amazing with my current set up.

This quality of an amp with 980 watts is a steal in my opinion. I will use it until it melts in to my sideboard.Get more detail about Yamaha HTR-5890 7.1-Channel A/V Surround Receiver (Black).
