Help needed, Onkyo 801 vs. Yamaha rxv1400,

Have narrowed my choice between the 2 av receivers, plan to match it with mission speakers on a 26 sq.m. room, thanks in advance!! :( :) :confused: :cool:

Sometimes, the best way to choose between competitive receiver models is to go with the one whose features you most desire. Failing that: Yamaha rules!!

not so sure it "rules"
does it have ethernet capabilities?

I've been using Yamaha receivers for the past 8 years. Although both the Yamaha and the Onkyo have all the Dolby Digial EX, THX Select, DTS ES, etc.. etc.. I'd definitely go for the Yamaha. IMHO, it has a much stronger amplifier section, not just in quantity, but primarily in terms of quality. Also, I find the room calibration feature pretty useful. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Not that I know of.

? Good luck deciding. Both look good. The Onkyo you can hook up to internet radio. Why not purchase both and return the one you don't like.

thanks, i auditioned onkyo txnr 900, it was easy to decide, it left yamaha rxv 1400 far behind.. :p
