Thanks all!

You can get the Yamaha RX-V663 from 6ave.com for $374. Use the coupon code aflaud25 at checkout. This is a great price on a great receiver. Also, 6ave is an authorized Yamaha dealer, so there is no need to worry about the warranty not being valid.

Onky 606 for like $319 at accessories for less.

I don't know about the other brands, but Yamaha has some great deals on right now. The newer models are out and retailers want to clear their inventory of older stock.

onkyo 606
yamaha 663
sony 820

that's the order i would go with btu then it is a personal preference, each sound different so you will need to go an hear them so you can make a judgment call

JMFB77 · 01-09-2009, 08:28 PM

I was looking at the 606 but i read in a few reviews that the PS3 and the 606 has a buzz sound. Does anyone know anything about this?

i have never heard of that before. I know there is an issue with the 706 and the ps3 in regards to a blue haze. I have the 605 which is identical to the 606 apart from 2 more hdmi ports, i have never had an issue, sounds amazing

JMFB77 · 01-09-2009, 08:44 PM

ok maybe ill roll with the 606. Now i need to find the best deal i can.

callas01 · 01-09-2009, 09:33 PM

if you can find the sony 920 around that price range it is awesome too, but I would say the yammy 663 per the specs is the best, but its all down to how you think they sound. I was gonna buy the pio 1018, I prefered that one the best personally.

I have a Pioneer 816 now that has been great! I might look at Pioneer

I had the 606 ! Then got the 663 For pre-outs & IMPO the 663 is A far better sounding receiver than the 606 !
