Yamaha RX-V4600 v Yamaha DSPAX763 Old v New Question
Wed, Jan 14 2009, 9:25AM
Hi, I'm in the market for an amp to partner either the kef 2005.3 or 3005se speakers.
I've noticed that there's a lot of yammy amps coming up for sale that are about 3 years old and a 3rd of their original price.
Can anybody tell me if they're a decent deal at around £300 and how they match up to models like the 763 or 863 please.

bermudaotter:Anybody with a view on this please ? In a nutshell,would a 1k 3 yr old receiver match up well to a £400 new receiver assuming that they both have similar onboard decoding and hdmi inputs ?
I would go for a newer model. That way you would benefit from a warranty (extended if need be), knowing that the amp has not been treated badly etc.....
As far as I know you would be hard pressed to find a 3 year old amp capable of decoding all the new hd sound formats!
I have the Yamaha DSPAX763 and I am very happy with it.
