The Yamaha was What HiFi's award winning product of the year, so that would be a safe choice.  Star

At that price the Yammy is a no brainer - just go buy it - great amp at a knockdown price with the wi fi adaptor thrown in.

If it was me, I think this answers your question.

Which speakers have you got? It really depends on the synergy between your speakers & AV receiver. An award winning receiver may not necessarily perform in an award winning way if paired incorrectly.
