    New range of Yamaha Integrated Amplifiers

    Are there members in this forum who managed to buy the Yamaha As 1100/2100/3100 or AS1200/2200/3200? If there are, how and where do you place your orders and how long does it take to arrive? I have been quoted R79 000 for the AS1200 and I must pay in advance and wait for it for about 4 to six...

    Has anyone dealt with Homemation before

    I took my Rotel RB1080 to Homemation for a damage report after it died after a power surge. I took the unit there on the 12th January 2021 and I didn't hear from them until today. Does anyone know their turnaround times. I dealt with Yamaha and their turnaround and communication is very good...

    Disappointed by new Denon AVRs

    So, Denon released a range of new AVRs (X2700H to X6700H). What disappointed me is that the AVC-X4700H has no built-in FM tuner. This is amazing because Denon does not provide separate FM /Dab+ tuners that one can buy to match with these new range of AVCs. I was patiently waiting to upgrade to...

    A fair price

    What is a fair price for Rotel RB991? Interested in one and was quoted R8000. I have searched the forum for the past sales on this one and I think this price is a bit high. Any ideas or advice?

    Yamaha Neural:X downmixes

    I am tired of tweaking this Yamaha RX A1070. The issue here is the Neural:X downmixes instead of upmixing. Comparing this with Denon AVR X3200W, the Yamaha is disappointing at lower volumes. I have to take the volume way up when watching TV or listening to radio. With Denon, everything is...

    I don't know if this was luck or not

    Just walked into an AVR shop yesterday, and saw a Yamaha RX A1070 priced R14 995. Doubting, I picked one and went to the counter to pay, I was told we made a mistake as the price is below cost. I didn't budge and I left having paid R15 995 as a compromise. Now, after having my Denon AVR X3200W...

    Which one is a better and reliable brand overall

    Is Onkyo that reliable, compared to Denon and Yamaha. And when it comes to sound quality which one is better. Which one will you go for: 1. Onkyo TX-RZ800 2. Denon AVR X4200W or 3. Yamaha RXA 1070. The former two are 2015 models and the Yamaha is newer.

    Advise on the Audiolab 8000 x 7

    Anyone familiar with Audiolab products. There is an Audiolab 8000 x 7 advertised elsewhere for about R25 000. Is this reasonable. When I google Audiolab amplifiers, I can't get the price for a new one.

    Power amp vs integrated stereo amp

    After comparing Yamaha AS301 and Rotel RMB1075 hooked to Denon AVR X3200W, I could only conclude that for music, integrated amplifier is the way to go. the integrated amplifier drives the yamaha ns777 towers much easier than the Rotel. On the integrated amplifier I don't even need the subwoofer...
