Yamaha v673 and Monitor audio Mass - is this a good combination
Hi All
After my last post i am now going for a Yamaha v673 with Monitor audio mass speakers, as i want it to go with my Pana 55vt50 and panasonic bdt500 blu ray.
Is this a good combination ? t would be good to also hear from people with this setup too. What is an excellent hdmi cable to go with this setup as we are now also planning to put the tv on the wall ?
What reasonble priced speaker cable would you recommend ?
Any help is fully appreciative
Hi letmeboogey
The synergy between Yamaha's RX-V673 AV receiver and Monitor Audio's Mass sub/sat speakers is superb 
Yamaha AV amplification and Monitor Audio speakers form a great match (time after time) 
Btw, standard 79 strand OFC speaker cables will be good enough for the RX-V673/Mass pairing.
All the best

good accurate audio monitoring and good sound reproduction to all 
It's a good set-up. One that works well across the board.

As the other folk have said, that's a terrific choice of receiver, television and blu-ray player!
HDMI cables - I tend to use Lindy, based in Teesside. For instance, a 2m HDMI cable for £9 http://www.lindy.co.uk/2m-premium-high-speed-hdmi-cable/41112.html. They also sell more expensive ones with Ethernet connections, if you need that, and much more expensive blue-braided ones (cost about £60!) but I've not noticed a difference between those and the much cheaper one in the link.
Speaker cables - I've not done a comparison with any other cables, but I use Richer Sounds' Cambridge Audio SYMPHONY 400, £2.49 per metre http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-cables/cambridge-audio/symph....

1) It's an excellent combination.
2) Don't spend too much on HDMI cables. There's no performance difference in my experience. I've got £5 cables from ThatCable.
