Now waiting for yammy to give major price drop for older models

you can try the v377, I'm using it, great for entry, quality and price wise

I think I can't accept the way in pairing Yamaha AVR with Pioneer speakers, or vise versa. Or Denon amp with Onkyo speakers? It will look like mixed up setup and not friendly.

Yamaha Onkyo Denon Marantz and Pioneer are not brands specialized for speakers. Therefore it should be used for their own amplifiers only. Sony amp should not borrow Onkyo speakers.. Onkyo amp should not borrow Denon speakers.

Different story for speaker specialized brands like KEF, JBL, Mission etc, they can be matched with any Amp you have.. my opinion only

LOL,

All tis talk of 'reviewed spkrs' - if you buy based on tis then its equivalent of buying 'blind'
Listen first before you decide..

I want to get a RX-Axxxx. Anyone knows if there are older models selling for cheaper? 2nd hand also can as long as have box. I'm coming to kl next weekend staying at Sentra. I'll probably check at the ground floor shop in lyp too.

After going to Desa in Lyp, they directed me to their kepong branch and I got the A2040 for rm4250 cash there. Damn heavy and now both my arms are aching like anything. Will be setting it up in the next few days replacing my v663.  Thanks for your recommendation. Desa lyp has moved to first floor.
