Yamaha RX-V2067 vs RX-A2010 for MA Apex 5.1

[MMW]

In the context of a Monitor Apex 5.1 system what are the expected sonic diferences between a Yamaha RX-V2067 and a RX-A20101? Which do you feel "the best" for the Apex combo?

Thanks!!

I've read that Aventage series are voiced for US sonic tastes (leaner and more forward sound than the european RX-V series). Is this true? Any comments about this issue will be EXTREMELY welcomed cause I'm going to cancel today my order for a RX-V2067 to go for a RX-A2010 and suddenly I'm a bit confused cause I don't want a leaner sound that matches no so nice with the Apex system. Thanks!!

Hi MMW

I've found the presentation of the Aventage RX-A2010 to be even fuller, richer, dynamic whilst also being more detailed and faster then the RX-V2067. As good as the RX-V2067 is however the RX-V2067 sounds somewhat flat and thin in comparison to the Aventage RX-A2010.

The Aventage RX-A2010's overall quality of power, performance and its tonal balance also matches with Apex speakers just nicely 🙂

Fwiw, my findings are partly based on comparing the quality of the pre amp sections of both the RX-V2067 and Aventage RX-A2010 using ATC's SCM100ASL Professional monitors.

All the best

Hi MMW

Your welcome.

Btw, please also remember that i recommended using standard 500 strand OFC speaker cables for Apex speakers.

All the best

Hi Rick,

Yes, I´m trying to locate a small set of 500 strands OFC to try in my system when RX-A2010 arrives!

Thanks!! :cheers:
