QUOTE(mpyw @ Apr 14 2009, 05:07 PM) check your speaker res. frequency, those thing like 40Hz-20kHz thing errr... i'm quite confused,most of the time we set the cross over like 10-20Hz above the speakers' lower limit (40Hz - 20kHz, set at 60Hz or 80Hz) THX recommendation is 80Hz, means all sound below *0Hz will sent to the sub woofer to handle. so if my IQ9 specs like this: Crossover frequencies: 250Hz, 2.8kHz. Frequency range: 38Hz–40kHz. Sensitivity: 91dB. Nominal impedance: 8 ohms. Recommended amplification: 15–200W. The iQ7 has a 40 Hz - 40 kHz frequency response, 90 dB sensitivity, 15 - 150 watt power handling, and is 34" high, 8.7" wide, and 12.9" deep what's your recommendation? thx before  |

QUOTE(yj-kl @ Apr 15 2009, 11:39 AM) Hi, why don't you upgrade your choice to 1800?Am looking at the product bulletin for both the RX-V863 and the RX-V1065 Some of the differences i've noted are: 1065 has USb port in front 1 extra HDMI port GUI on-screen display wit album art don't notice any other differences. In this case, i think i'll just pick up the 863. some have claimed that the 863 is running out of stock - is this true? Also, price range should be around RM2.6-2.7k? that's what i did, first, i'm thinking to buy 863, then dealer recommend me 1800 the price gap is less than $200 since 1800 build in material is better than 863, so the sound produces well. |

QUOTE(robinlim @ Apr 15 2009, 03:16 PM) agree, since the price different is not that much same as in Jakarta, i got the last stock w/ clearance sale US$1100 but very hard to find 1800 nowadays, everywhere also no stock   most of shops selling 1900, but i think the difference is not important. who care about digital radio broadcast?? anyway why would i use my quite expensive 1800 just for digital radio  |

QUOTE(g88 @ Apr 15 2009, 11:30 PM) From 1600 to 1900, basically each model also not much different...if can get this mid range model around RM2K++ would be very very good price is standard price would be about Rm4K yess, my old 1600 sound quality almost the same as my 1800, since both using the same material i guess.that's one of yamaha weakness, no additional power or feature between 1600-1900, except those HD audio and digital broadcast  |

QUOTE(s6xs9x @ Apr 22 2009, 02:53 PM) Guys, ouch, i tried my 1800 in pure direct for stereo, the sound still Rough.I had a 1800 for over a year I guess or maybe less. I only used YPAO to setup, I'm just wondering. Why does the crossover always stays at 200hz. Why does the speaker size always sets at Large. How do you guys equalize the speakers? Natural/Flat/Front? What else am I missing out here. I would like to see what I can change and perhaps sound better. I've been using my 1800 just pure direct for music for the past couple of months. Help is much appreciated. i prefer buying another cheap stereo amplifier like Cambridge Audio give it a try, and you wont using your 1800 again for stereo  |

QUOTE(s6xs9x @ Apr 22 2009, 03:44 PM) Harsh is the word, but after running non-bi-wired and a copperhead it sounded a little better. since silver makes your system bright, copperhead is the best choice. unfortunately i can't try, since my cables are all silver  |

QUOTE(Jenn77 @ Apr 23 2009, 09:42 AM) I'm eagerly waiting for 665 as well, called A&L they said its coming in June. Patience.. if you seek better sql, then you waste your time waiting for 665 my first receiver is yammy 461, then >> 463, the only difference is HDMI Audio, the sound quality is the same. same with my yammy 1600, then >> 1800, the DD & DTS quality is almost identical. each time yammy launch new receiver, its only minor upgrade, upscale, digital radio, bla bla, not sql. wait for yammy 663 dropped its price....then it's a good bargain. |

QUOTE(Weelar @ Apr 23 2009, 10:41 AM) Hi tongkito... IMO, if your source player only support 480 i/p, upscaled to 1080p....then what you see is more or less like stretching the pictures into bigger size.thanks for advice...  If not mistaken, DVD output 480 (as what i see this appear in my LCD TV) and with upscaling, the output via HDMI will be 1080 right? I never seen the actual quality of upscaling on LCD TV.... to all SiFus.... Is the upscaling quality of DVD to 1080 is close to BlueRay 1080? i've tried playing my Playstation one, upscaled to 1080p.... it only tears my eyes.....lol dvd upscaling can't match the natural BD 1080, my pioneer dv600 show less differences when i upscaled to 720p or 1080p. i don't know if you are using dedicated upscaler, maybe it could be better |

QUOTE(Weelar @ Apr 23 2009, 11:15 AM) just thinking that 665 got upscaling... then connect DVD to it and it can upscaling to 1080... haha... yeah, if you buy 665, then you dont need to buy dvd w/ upscaling feature.wait it launch then go audit...  i think both 665 & dvd w/ built in upscaler are in the same quality, not using processor |

QUOTE(s6xs9x @ Apr 23 2009, 05:03 PM) previously there are also 363 & 463. Just my opinion on this 465, it seems like a waste of money and either you'll upgrade it in very near future, or just enjoy it like some htibs. wait wait, i just realize that yamaha is downgrading its series.I would save up more if i were to choose an AVR, at least a 6xx for start. now Yamaha 465 support DTS-HD, last time was 663 series which support dts-hd if the price gap between 463 & 465 is small, than go for 465, you can enjoy dts hd on low end models now |

QUOTE(htkaki @ Apr 26 2009, 10:27 AM) Suddenly, a lot of us bitten by the 'HT bugs' 100% agree, not a big jump from 1800 1800 still available? IMHO, the upgrade in 1900 is too minimal to justify its price tag |
