Upgrading Yamaha RX-V795a

[brian_tr]

I am wanting to upgrade my Yamaha RX-V795a. Went to my local store today and he had a Yamaha RX-V1300 for $599. Would this be a good trade up?

the 1300 was KILLER. Much better front end (pre-amp section) and better feature set means not only a better sounding receiver, but more flexible too.

Also considering the 1400. They do not have it in stock right now but might be worth waiting for. Can it be ran in 5.1 mode until I can get new speakers?

you most definetely can. you just turn the extras off in the set up menu. very straight forward

Get the RX-V1400. Shop around, you can get it for about the same price or just a few bucks more. $599 is pretty high for the RX-V1300 now that it's discontinued. You might be able to find it a lot cheaper as well.

I think I have decided on the 1400. My local store said it will be about $750. Sounds to high for me. I can get it on the internet for around $585 with shipping. I know I will not get the factory warranty if bought on line but the company selling them gives a one year warranty. So far I have never had to use a warranty. I would like to support my local store but we are talking about quite a bit of differance in price plus I will save on taxes by buying on line.
