As I write this review, I am listening to my favorite music DVD (Eagles, hell freezes over), and I have the volume cranked to about 70% to match the listening volume of the Yamaha HTR 5790 (50% volume) that this RX-A1000 replaced. The 5790 had 110 watt vs 105 watt per channel for the RX-A1000. It was time to replace my 5790 because I recently purchased a Samsung 8000 series LED TV and wanted to pass 1080p signals from my BluRay player to the TV via the Yamaha receiver. The 5790 did not have any HDMI ports and you can't pass 1080p signals through component cables. The old Yamaha could not process Dolby True HD either. One of the nice features on this new receiver is the ability to pass video and audio to the TV via the HDMI cables even when the receiver is off. How cool is that? We don't always need 735 watts, especially when we are only watching a news channel. Another cool feature is the NET Radio. I connected the RX-1000's LAN jack to my router (via a gigabit switch)and 24 hours later (I could not get it to work imediately), I am listening to 15,000 radio stations. It took 24 hours for the receiver to figure out it was connected to a computer network? I don't understand why it didn't work right away. I checked all my settings over and over and then turned it off when my patience started wearing a little thin. The next day when I turned it on, the NET radio was working. This unit is about a $200 step up from my old receiver, but in my opinion does not match the sound of my older Yahama unit. Gosh, did 5 watts make the difference? Yamaha spent 2 years designing and building the Aventage series from the chassis up. This was not a redesign, (building and improving on an existing chassis), it is a complete new design including the number of feet (5) on the bottom. Well all in all I like this unit, but if I had it to do over, I would have waited a month and bought the RX-A2000. The RX-A2000 has video processing and upscaling that would improve the picture quality of whatever you are jacking into it, as well as 130 watts per channel.

I haven't had a receiver since my old Denon got stolen... but I'm using the RX-A1000 with 2x Klipsch WF-35 floor standers, 2 x Klipsch WB14 Bookshelves, the Klipsch WC24 center, and 2x Klipsch WS24 surrounds for a 7.1 experience and let me say the Aventage is AWESOME! The sound is so CLEAN. The features are ROBUST. Can you say WEB CONTROL via the web browser on the laptop and streaming FLAC? Fully lossless audio playback is so nice and the sound is amazing. Yamaha didn't overhype this, they outdid themselves and it is trully high fidelity in my opinion. Sounds orgasmic. Would highly reccomend it! Never had the need to turn it into the positive dbs, usually keep it about -17db and -6db when I'm really jammin. Super loud on these Klipsch W series.

I purchased this receiver from the Amazone Marketplace and just finished the connections to my Klipsch Reference Series speakers with Center, Left + Right, 2 Presence Speakers, surround speakers (L+R+Back) and a 15" Subwoofer.I upgrated from an older Yamaha 5.1 receiver and added the front L+R speakers. The sound is just amazing. I also purchased the iPod dock which works absolutely great with the iPod Touch. However, it does not work with the iPhone 4. I am getting the Panasonic Viera TV in a couple of weeks and with the Panasonic 3D DVD player, I don't think I will be going to the movies as often. this receiver is a great product and it is built to last.The on-screen menu is easy to understand and very quick when changing sound programs etc.
