I have finally upgraded my old receiver (Sony STR-DE495) to a Yamaha RX-V357 and what an upgrade it has been! The Sony was a pretty good amp for a little over £100. It has some nice features, and sounded very clean and crisp. Also, however, it was lacking some features, such as 6 channel inputs, 5 channel stereo etc. I therefore went out and purchased the RX-V357 from Richer Sounds, and it's amazing compared to the Sony. The sound is still just as clean and crisp, but it has a more "realistic" edge to it now, it doesn't sound quite so technical. Also, it has an extra 25W per channel which should make it sound a lot better at average to loud cinema-style volumes, although i haven't really had it long enough to decide this yet. It also has 6 channel analog inputs, which means i can *finally* listen to SACDs and DVD-As at last! Oh, and if you are into DSP modes, this Yamaha has around 15 of them, and they sound excellent for a budget amp. Personally, i don't like DSP modes though, so i'm not the guy to talk to for comparisons. Anyone else got one of these receivers then? What do you think?
