Hey all,
First time poster.
I'm looking at getting at a/v receiver but I'm torn between two models.
Yamaha RX-V483 and Denon AVR-S720W. They are relatively close in price. $499 for the Yamaha and $449.99 for The Denon.
I was wondering which one had the better sound? The few reviews I've seen say they are very similar. Wattage is close. (Yamaha 80, Demon 75). Cnet mentioned that the yamaha's sound is slightly better then the Denon AVR-S730W I am going to be using them with two tower Paradigm Monitor 7 v7 speakers. Mostly for gaming, music and movies/Netflix.
Down the road I'd like to get more speakers for surround sound but for now I'm just for the audio quality first of all. The Yamaha only has 4 HDMI and the Devon has 6. While the Devon also has a couple more bells and whistles such as DTS Atmosphere and DTS-X. The Yamaha has 5.1, the Devon has 7.1. With the room setup I have. I doubt I'd even do 7'1 but it is nice to have the extra hdmi hookups, and one in the front. Cnet mentioned that the Yamaha's sound is slightly better then the Denon AVR-S730W (the new model I believe over the S720W) Honestly, for The 50 dollar price difference would I notice a difference between the two?
Sound quality is what I'm looking for. Especially since I will be using only the two floor mounted speakers for the foreseeable future.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
