Comments about Yamaha rx-797_black__u:
I had an Onkyo home theatre reciever for years and it sounded good but i decided to get the Yamaha stereo reciever because i really didn't care on the home theatre thing to much anymore. I got the 797 and hooked it up and i was blown away at the sound and my hearing is not that great. I have a sub woofer hooked up to it and a EQ so i can adjust the way i like it and the yamaha cd changer. The highs are clear and the midrange is not muddy like it was on the Onkyo reciever. I started hearing things i never heard before on a lot of my cds and i have a turntable for my old albums and what a difference when i play them. All in all i am happy with it. I bought it 3 years ago and still going strong. I'm thinking on getting the 600 cd changer with the usb port on it for my mp3 player.

Comments about Yamaha rx-797_black__u:
I have the RX-797 set up in my home and I run everything into it and through it. Bose 901s are my speakers of choice and the 797 powers them without a problem. I have at any one time two turntables, cassette deck, drum machine, cd player, two equalizers, two mixers, and the tv/dvd/cable box going into it. Like I said it powers everything just fine. I am quite pleased with its performance. I also run my MacBook White and MacBook Pro through it for parties. No problems whatsoever. Highly recommended.
