Does anyone know why Yamaha seem to have gone backward's with the new range of Recievers?

All the latest models Yamaha RX-V365,465,565 appear to have Spring speaker terminals as opposed to binding posts as on the AX763, 863 Why the cheaper option? And where have they spent the extra money?

I don't know the answer to that one, but it's worth noting that the RX-V365, V465 and V565 are all entry-level, sub-£500 receivers, whereas the AX763 and AX863 were slightly higher-end amplifiers originally priced £600 and £800 respectively.

It's a shame Yamaha have replaced theAX763 and AX863and AX863. Are they still available? Will they still be available in 6 months time? Our local Sevenokes store has One AX763 in stock going for £350. It's a shame my budget is limited for another 6 months.

There's been so little stock of these over the past 3/4 months that I doubt very much you'll see any after the end of this month. Dealers who have been getting them have been getting odd ones, which are more than likely already sold. Any dealer with these in a few months time must be an extremely quiet one.....

We're gradually removing the 2008 Yamaha receivers from the Buying Guide and website as the new models arrive. Don't think we'll see much more stock of the 763/863 at this stage.

Pistol Pete1:
Clare,

Any joy at receiving any of the following receivers for testing yet?

Yamaha 765 or 1065

Denon AVR 1910 or 2310

Thanks.....

Not yet, but I know all have been requested, and will be a review priority when they arrive.

Next up in the 2009 receiver-review stakes is the entry-level, £250 Yamaha - the RX-V365 - which is being tested as we speak...
