Yamaha RX-V373 or RX-V673?

[admin_exported]

Hi,

I am upgrading my Sony DA5200ES home cinema receiver since it does not pass through a 3D signal, and am torn between the 373 and 673.

Essentially, the 673 is twice the price of the 373 here in Canada, but both are within budget.

I will be using the receiver with my existing Bose Acoustimass 10 speakers in a 5.1 configuration so was wondering if it is worth the extra to get the 673, or whether I should save money and get the 373.

I don't think I'll ever get a 7.1 speaker setup in my current tv room, since I don't have anywhere to put the side speakers. Are the differences between the two enough to justify the extra cost?

Opinions please..

Thanks

for those dinky speakers guess you dont need more than the 373

I think I would stretch to the RX-V673. It's easily the better sounding product and will make more of any future upgrade you make to you system.
