Thank you, Tony.
Fair price for a Yamaha RX-V1
I would like an opinion or two on what might be a good asking price for a Yamaha RX-V1 HT Receiver (in pristine condition with original owner's manual, shipping container, etc.). All functions work perfectly. My goal is to upgrade to a more modern 5- or 7-channel receiver that offers the current audio processing capabilities and room equalization. I believe the RX-V1 was top-of-the-the-line for Yamaha when it was current. (I would like to receive a good price for the unit, but want to price it fairly enough to be attractive -- perhaps to an enthusiast just getting into home theater.) THANKS.

+1 Tonykay Make sure you get one with HDMI the V1 doesn't have hdmi. https://mans.io/images/1064269/1137435.jpg Cheers George |
(I am a two-channel guy but have a separate stereo system located in another room). I currently have an OPPO 83 deck for Blu Ray playback. Given all that, can you offer any recommendations/opinions?If you are a 2 channel guy, then why not build a surround sound system around your existing 2 channel stereo? This is what I did. As you already found out, HT is mostly about features and with the technology changing so quickly, yesterdays mega buck TOTL AVR's and Pre/Pro's are basically worthless in a few years. So get a decent AVR from last years line up that this fall will probably be discounted by up to 50% new. Make sure it has HDMI and at the very least L/R Main Pre-Outs and connect it to your existing stereo system. Allow your 2 channel stereo amp to drive your L/R Main speakers full time while the AVR just takes care of the center and surrounds. |
