Buying a Yamaha amp from Bestbuy

[scene]

Odd question. Bestbuy are a large US chain that often import hardware from the US. So if I buy a Yamaha AV amp - I'm thinking of the RXV667 here - from Bestbuy, will it be UK-tuned or US-tuned? I.e, do Yamaha tune the sound of their amps, like Pioneer and Denon do, IIRC, and if so, will the amp I get from Bestbuy be so-tuned?

I know Yamaha in UK supply to Best Buy in UK, so i'd expect all stock to be of the UK-specific models (and IIRC they are UK tuned).

I can ask Yamaha to confirm this, if you like?

Thanks Clare for the swift response, and if you could confirm this, it would be most appreciated 🙂

Yes, Yamaha has confirmed that stock in UK Best Buy stores is "definitely supplied from the UK and UK run productions, therefore the same as all of our other UK dealers. "

Well, thanks to Clare's quick response and Yamaha's info, I have ordered the rxv667 from BestBuy. A steal, too at £299.99 less 10% by entering the code AV10C, so £270 for the Titanium one, with free delivery 🙂

Actually, the code works for all AV kit, but I think it expires today 🙁
