I know I’m late to the party here, but thanks for this! I’d read other complaints about the pre-outs, and this is the one feature I’m looking for without breaking the bank (the 2-channel amp for music is more important to me). The new Denon X1800H has pre-outs but no trigger out. Way to cut corners there, Denon…
The more unnecessaries they cram into an AVR chassis the more the sound quality is likely to diminish. Rather features, channels and functionalities if one is looking for a quality sound, one would be wise to choose an AVR for its components. Otherwise when the movie sound Dynamics change one might find themselves reaching for the remote control yet again. Entertaining video and BTW Love your cable management
Gotta be some of the worst cable management I have ever seen. How this hasnt caught fire is beyond me. Rather than moan about this unit... buy some damn cable ties
@nickthegeek900 why would he waste time doing cable management when I wasn't even sure if I was keeping the receiver. I ended up going with a marqntz 8015 and it's all nice and neat which you will see when I do a review of a UST projector and 120" alr screen I'm setting up.
Wow thank you. Can tell just by weight they don’t build them like they use to. I tried the Denon and it weighed half and at 70 it overheated and shut down. My old hdmi non arc Yamaha with 400 watts rocks.
with all the $$$$ you have invested in audio/video gear plus all the knowledge you claim to have, I have to ask WHY did you purchase this receiver? Also, why did you buy a used unit from Amazon without doing your homework on the receiver? Oh that is right, you all ready knew all there is about audio/video gear yet you purchased it anyway. Your just pissed because you screwed up making the purchase without doing the research beforehand. Of course, there is usually a reason why the previous owner returned it.
Yamaha surround receivers never seem to have the power or warm sound of a Denon, Marantz, or Onkyo. But they are usually more reliable The company struggled in the 1970s to get the "100 watt per channel" rating that consumers wanted to hear. One trick they used was rating wattage at 6 ohms instead of the nominal 8 ohms, so that the wattage output seemed higher. However, Yamaha receivers always have a lot of functionality and many dsp modes, while Denon and especially Marantz seem to care more about good sound.
Yamaha are overrated receivers. I bought RXV6A with 100 Watts per channel 7.2 but when I sent setup this receiver it was garbage. My older pioneer VSX 933 blow RXV6A into kingdom I don't how other vloggers are giving this receiver good ratings. I returned it immediately.
I've got the RX-V6A and I'm happy with it!🤷♂️ Just because you don't like a product doesn't make it garbage. The vloggers call it as they see it... well, as they hear it.🤷♂️ You can't expect them to set your preference as a standard for the world, for the simple reason... it isn't. 🤷♂️ They do reviews after spending quite some time with the product so they can deliver an indepth and well informed review, not in two days, like you did before returning the Receiver.🤓 The unit probably wasn't even broken in by then.🤷♂️ Thus they are well within their rights to give good reviews and ratings where it's due.🤷♂️ Onkyo is the closest I've had to Pioneer, but I shall NEVER buy an Onkyo again!!! Neither would I buy Pioneer for that matter. I respect your decision to return a product that doesn't suit you👈😀, but don't make it a collective emotion.🤓 As for 100 watts, a RUclips Channel: *Divine AV Home Theater* measured the unit to an output of 143 watts into 8ohm with two channels driven.🤷♂️🤓 But like they say, another man's 'trash' is another man's 'treasure'.🤷♂️
Did you even did your research on the V6A. Because it's a 2 channel 100 watt reciever. So the more speakers the less watts per speaker you get. The V6A is not a reciever from the aventage line like the A.A receivers are. So what you write about 100 Watts per channel is not true. It's a 2 channel amplifier with 100 Watts a channel. And the more speakers the less Watts per speaker you get.
I have yamaha rx-v6a. I power front towers polk audio signature elite es55 in bi-amp mode. To much power for my room. In stereo mode all is ok. In 5.1 mode all is ok too. No problem. You need good speakers with high effectivity if you use avr. It's not stereo amp. Preout working if you need more juice on front, so there will be more power for other speakers if whant use preout and good amp. But like you said u like listen loud very loud, speakers can be heavy too.
I've got the RX-V6A and am happy with it!🤷♂️ Each to their own I guess.🤔
It’s the best reciever under $1000
Love it... background music for my house. Running also a RX V483 in another part of the house.

Love your cable management
My marantz 8015 receiver has been a great performer. Rather on the expensive side but worth every penny.

That's why they've got "Direct/Pure Audio/Pure Direct" etc. So you can bypass all those modes and listen to pure music.🤷♂️
@nickthegeek900 My reaction exactly when I saw that spaghetti!!! Very untidy!!! 😂
Wow thank you. Can tell just by weight they don’t build them like they use to. I tried the Denon and it weighed half and at 70 it overheated and shut down. My old hdmi non arc Yamaha with 400 watts rocks.
Just saw a open box for $446...but NO WAY! Thx for info.
Yamaha rx v6a is the best thing I ever had
thanks, man, I'm now on the market for a decent to good AV receiver, which brand and model do you recommend?

What are you even talking about? This was not used when I purchased it lol. Wait till the next video of my current setup.

@@thelonewolf666 yes, Yamaha receivers tend to be more reliable than Denon and Marantz.
