I'm on a budget, getting used stuff

Any reviews on the YAMAHA RX-V579? Getting a used one about RM1.2K.

I have 4 floor standing Sony speakers with cracked foam, probably DIY fixing it.

For the Sub I have a no brand 10" at the corner which is spoil, the Sub amplifier is spoil but woofer still OK, when I get my replacement AVR, I probably connect my old skool AVR to power the Subs.

Any advice on getting the RX-V579?

It's a mediocre receiver, nothing bad but nothing good either. RM1.2k is an alright price though.

Do know that it doesn't support Atmos or DTSX though. If you're just doing the basic 5.1 (I don't recommend 7 speakers unless you're setting a high crossover or in a small room as the amp on this receiver is quite wimpy), then it fits the bill fairly alright.
Passthrough of 4k HDR is not an issue too btw, I can confirm as I do have a spare RX-A850 with no issues of 4k passthrough. The v579 is a cut down model of the A850, but the HDMI controller and board is the same.

Thanks for the info, my house small only 20X70 single terrace.
The hall is probably 10 feet between my chair and my old plasma TV.
All my stuff are old.

I think I just go for the V579 to replace my old Skool (basic Dolby/DTS) Sony Amp.
Got a lot to repair for the speakers and Subs but will be doing it DIY.

err..what is Atmos and DTSX? Most of the time I'll be viewing Kodi only, and its all in Stereo.

Thanks again for the advice
