Faiello when you compared the Yamaha receivers to Marantz and Denon did you level match to within .5dbs.were these test done single blind or double blind..I have read about Yamaha being bright.Not one were tested under these conditions..This is funny, most were compared in different rooms on different days,and get this you will love this one, some made this comment using different speakers...It does make one laugh...Ive said this before find the receiver with the features,and power your speakers require,and also look at what brands have the least amount of quality control problems..
