RM1890, too excited and forgot to ask for discount.
Just finished the wiring and tested few minutes of Die Hard 4, haven't had the time to play around the settings.
Of course it definately better than my 5 years old Sony avr !

Congrats bro. Just use the YPAO calibration, then tweak a little as you see fit to your listening taste. Really easy to setup! thumbup.gif

Next, get the YSD-10 iPOD docks. tongue.gif

And yes, that's a very good price. Almost half of my 1800. sweat.gif

i never trust my YPAO calibration. it all over the place! manual settings better.

maybe my room is abit odd..

Mine works great! At first I made some minor tweaks after the calibration.

But after few days I still wasn't satisfied and did the YPAO again, this time I let the calibrated settings as it is. Now I have the best setup I've ever heard. thumbup.gif

Whatever your room condition is, the auto-calibration will try to get the best results based on the surroundings.

So I don't know, did you pace the mic correctly? Or did someone fart while you do it? laugh.gif tongue.gif

eh... I tot someone here said yammy always rate their power at all channels driven? meaning it should be more like 90-100W min?

looks like they are also following the trend now...

I also wonder where he got that specs. Actually RX-V1800 power rate is 7 x 130W.

I think sound and vision one is real world power, they test on their test bench equipment wor..
maybe it's like Jap manufacturer claim engine is 200BHP but in real world dyno test...it's like 130HP at the wheels..  biggrin.gif
*
All receivers specs are factory rated one, not real world. No receivers will achieve what they say on their own manual..

Whatever it is, my 1800 is powerful enough at -13dB. I only go up to -7dB when I go crazy release tension mode. And that even after -6 level trim!

I suggest you go for a demo and compare yourself bro. Whatever junk they put in that heavy box, it all comes back to your own listening taste.

Jumping from one brand to another is a huge decision. No different brands will sound the same. I suggest audition each brands first, after that you can decide on colour. biggrin.gif

What sounded good with music, will sound good for movies too. But not necessarily the other way around. Well, at least to my ear. biggrin.gif
