I didn't choose this particular receiver very lightly, I chose it after seeing the Ebay listing for it, then scouring the internet for reviews. I hit sites like Epinions, audio review, Amazon and others. This even though it was to be embedded in a high end backyard bbq island. For any purchase I never settle for less than several individual reviews from private owners, user groups and of course websites that publish professional reviews, no matter what the item is. Only then can a person make an informed decision and get the most for their money. The adage of "you get what you pay for" holds true even in the secondhand world. An item that sold new for $500 especially in audio is generally a mid level or better piece and will be packed with features, many you will probably never use but still sweet to have and depending upon age/condition should be able to be gotten for around $100. I've owned upper echelon Yamaha equipment since I could first afford them and could never settle for the Kenwoods, Sony or other department store brands. I've actually done side by side tests with receivers and speakers in my earlier days. Most large manufacturers of audio have 2-3 different classes of equipment. Some are easy to recognize like Pioneer Elite, others are more subtle and are distinguished by model number. Stay away from Sherwood, Sony, Kenwood, pioneer and brands you can get at Target, stick with the more expensive versions of Yamaha, Denon, and others especially if you're buying used. Hope this helps.Read full review
