13 years ago I owned a Yamaha setup. Surround amplifier (the remote was the size of one of those Belkin PDA keyboards), Yamaha tuner, Yamaha five disk carousel, Yamaha powered sub, etc (the sub was probably two or three times what you paid for that receiver), etc. A couple thousand bucks worth all told, but damn it was worth it. Great sounding gear in that bracket. I then sold it and upgraded to the Rotel which I've been with ever since.
I have no doubt you'll love that Yammy. Their speakers leave a little to be desired, but their electronics are excellent for the price.
