Hi Garry

At the moment i will highly recommend the DSP-Z7. Imo the DSP-Z7 is the finest VFM AV amplifier currently avaialble on the market irrespective of price (even at its full RRP of £1960). At the prices DSP-Z7's are generally availble for at the moment makes the Yamaha a bargain.

Besides which for me Yamaha inspires confidence.

Btw, what other components will you be using?

All the best

Thanks for the advice Rick i am considering the yamaha above anything else because of the price it is selling for and have heared quite a lot of people are having some problems with the onkyos overheating etc the other components are in my signature thanks again Garry

Hi Garry

Your welcome.

Leaving reliability issues aside of the Onkyo's i genuinely believe the DSP-Z7 to be superior and if you do go for the DSP-Z7 i think you'll enjoy its performance for many years to come.

I touched upon this in my previous post in that the one thing which i have learnt over the years is when it comes to AV amps in particular (i don't say this likely) Yamaha inspires confidence.

Btw, i have a number clients in your part of the country who are happy with their DSP-Z7's.

All the best
