Yamaha RX-Z7 7.1 Channel Networking A/V Receiver Review
last modified February 9, 2009 05:10

The Yamaha RX-Z7 offers benchmark performance in virtually every category with the only caveat being it generates a lot of heat. Armed to the teeth with all of the latest audio and video processing features, along with a host of multi room and networking capabilities, the RX-Z7 leaves little to be desired for even the most sophisticated home theater installs. Its ability to transform your listening space into a concert venue or mega Cineplex is unrivaled. The RX-Z7 proudly lives up to the "Z" heritage and in some aspects out Z's their very own flagship RX-Z11.

Yamaha RX-Z7 A/V Receiver Overview

Yamaha is looking to expand their top end of their receiver line with the addition of the RX-X7 - a $2700 behemoth that is touting, among many other features, near unlimited connectivity and five HDMI inputs. At 140 watts x 7, the RX-Z7 uses Vista compatible DNLA support to stream files off your computer (WAV, Mp3, WMA, AAC) and Internet radio streams (Mp3, WMA). It supports Sirius Internet Radio, Rhapsody, and, of course, Yamaha's own MusicCAST system. You can pull music from your iPod, Bluetooth device, or USB device.

2008 A/V Receivers & Preamp/Processors - Breaking Down Barriers
last modified September 10, 2008 12:00

2008 has really taken features in receivers to the next level. Just a few years ago, it was nearly impossible to get A/V receivers for under $500 with HDMI switching. Today, not only are those commonplace, but you are now also getting HDMI 1.3a with audio support at this price range. This is great news for the most part, but we are noticing a trend with some manufacturers whom are trading amplifier quality for features which I plan on writing more about in a separate editorial. In the meantime, we found some really cool innovations being done by the likes of Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, Integra and Anthem that will likely please the audiophiles and videophiles alike.
