I have the older version of this, I have the Yamaha RX-A2010, in the kitchen. I use it with the Eltax Shine range of speakers, and I'm happy with the sound. However, I'm sure that the 2020 would go well with a great range of speakers.
Rick at Musicraft please: I wonder if you could answer another thread in the AV receivers section, asking whether the Yamaha RX-A3030 is much better than the RX-A3020? Myself I doubt it, since the 3020 was already so good. The 3030 will have more modern features though, but I'm not in a position to say.
