Yamaha RXV673 or RXA810 to go with B&W MT-50 Speakers

[dukeden]

Hello, and thank you to everyone who gave advise in my last article

I'm undecided what AV Receiver to buy to go with B&W MT-50's. It's between Yamaha's RXV673 or RXA810. These are available from RS at £429.95 and £449.95. This will be my first set up, and I don't want to spend over £450. I think the RXA810 is last years model.

Cheers

The RX-A810 belongs to the superior Aventage line (so benefits from superior components), has multichannel pre-outs & has 2 HDMI outs (if you ever consider a projector) for the same price as the RX-V673. I would go for the 810.

I would always buy a superior unit from last years range than a lesser one from this years.

Thanks for that, I'll see if I can get a demo first before I buy

Seeing the Yamaha RXV673 is newer, does it have any features that the RXA810 doesn't have?

Cheers
