The RX-V1065 is a seriously good multichannel receiver, and a major return to form for Yamaha
Yamaha's RX-V765 is the model above the RX-V565. It's supremely talented but falls just short of getting the full five-star star rating
For £250 it's a good value amplifier, but you can get superior performance and functionality from a number of its rivals
The Yamaha RX-V565 is a competent HD receiver capable of intimacy and detail, and good music playback, but bass lacks punch
Anyone lucky enough to have two grand to spill on a multichannel amplifier needs to hear this
The Yamaha RX-V3900 should be top of your list If you want a rich, full-bodied sound
At this price, the RX-V1900 can't put a foot wrong – it's a real jewel in the Yamaha range
An excellent amp, and a very worthy step-up over the £500 pack
This fantastic amplifier is a genuine competitor for class-best honours
Can a surround amplifier, even one as good as this, really be worth £5000? We certainly think so.
The Pioneer SC-LX82 picks up a huge amount of detail, making it one of the most capable amplifiers on the market
