Yamaha RX-V671

£ 500

A seriously talented surround amp and a real contender for class-leading status

Great amplifier! Music sounds very warm when teamed up with Monitor Bronze BX2 speakers costing £225. this amplifier really feels like a grown-up piece of kit!

Am looking at getting this amp soon but wondering if anyone can recommend which speakers pair up well with this amp?
Budget for speakers £250.

Front 2 speakers required.

Have been looking at  Tannoy v1, Mission mx1 and Monitor BX2.

Cheers

Is it me or is this missing line-in? Looks like a very good deal otherwise.

Well it does have six analogue audio inputs if that's what you mean.

I mean a stereo audio jack / the one that is marked as 'portable' on the lower models (RX-V471) but appears to have been replaced with an additional HDMI on the 671.

Nice review.Will WHF review its "Aventage" series also soon?

RX-A1010 and RX-A3010 coming up in the November issue, others no doubt to follow.

Just out of interest how do you control streaming of music is it via the amplifier's remote? I currently have a NAS (Netgear ReadyNas Duo) with FLAC songs stored on it so I could connect the NAS to the amplifier via DLNA and stream FLAC files. Is the choice of songs controlled by amplifier remote (with on screen menu too)? Would it display album art and tags? Cheers, Matt.
