My Yamaha receiver has bit the dirt, died the other and I am going to buy a new one tomorrow Denon AVR-790, long search but made up my mind that this would be the best for me in my price range

RIP Yamaha HTR-5760

    Condolences on the Yammie, and good luck with the Denon.
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    RTi8, CSi A4, FXi A4, PSW 125, when I bought it it was a floor model so who knows what they did with it and the thing is 5 years old.

    Those speakers are not very hard to drive. Just make sure you have good ventilation around your receiver.

    Well I am used to hearing that the cat clawed up the damn speaker grills, but to me that's a first. Makes sense if it is chilly in the house.

    LOL! Never heard of that either but cats do love warmth. I've had a few Denons and I think you will like your new one.

    Ouch! Not counting the cat's hair/fur that amassed on the inside of the receiver, not too good for a receiver trying to breathe :eek:
