Yamaha HTR-5790 7.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver (Black)

Summary: Correct Specifications
Review: Checking the Yamaha web pages for the HTR-5790 140 Watts per channel and 110 watts per channel are both correct measured at 1kHz@8Ohms and 20Hz-20kHz@8Ohms respectivly. According to Yamaha 0.04% total harmonic distortion @8Ohms is correct. With the number of features on this receiver it is entirely conceiveable that either or both of the parties mentioned made an omission or a mistake. It is doubtful either reputable business would deliberately misstate features or misrepresent a model identifier. Accusations should not be made unless they are specific and appropriately researched.

Review: I've owned many good stereo/sound systems over the years, but I have never heard anything like what the Yamaha HTR-5790 with YPAO produces(Yamaha's RX-V1400 is virtually identical). In a room (350 square feet) of decent speakers (Infinity Alpha speakers: seven speakers and a powered sub-woofer), good cables and interconnects, and Yamaha's Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) executed, the HTR surpasses anything I have ever listened to in home systems. CD Music and DVD movies/music are redefined in the most awesome way!!!! Take time and read the manual, then set it up! Good listening!

Summary: False Specifications ?
Review: The same model number in Best Buy is boasting 140 watts per channel X 7 channels with o.o4 THD. This item under the Amazon Banner is specifying only 110 watts per channel w/o specifying any THD. In addition the Best Buy unit has several features that are mising from this store.
Obviously, some one is lying about the model number or about the features. I wonder who ?
