What speakers do you want to drive with the receiver?

What car is aa good as my Aston Martin DB9? How long is a piece of speaker wire? What is the universal constant of placebo? Will Button, Hamy or Force India triumph this pm? Why do we seek answers to these questions? Is Elvis really not working at Macs on the M4?

Cheers

At £1499 there is quite a lot of competition and I would put a Pioneer LX75 as quality contender although with a different sound. The Anthem MRX500 gives the Yamaha a run for the money as well if it is high quality sound and not facilities you are after.

At the run out prices I cannot think of anything right now that is new that can touch the A2010

It may not be a popular receiver on here, but I think the Marantz SR7005 can give the Yamaha a run for its money.  Both can be bought for similar prices (circa £799) now newer models are coming out.
