I’m very impressed with the new RX-A8A. Job well done Yamaha.
Great video; that A8A is a beast! Current 5200 owner…Getting an A4A next…best bang for buck in the AVR world. Been a loyal customer for 10 years due to the solid engineering
You dont even mention the remote. I went to get a Pioneer Elite and saw it's remote and asked, 'Okay, well what else do you have comparable?" The Aventage remote looked high end. It wasnt until I got home and used the Yamaha remote that I realized it is backlit. The remote is substantial and backlit! Huge win. I only wish I had more reasons to use the AVR remote.
Yamaha is really cutting-edge in design, engineering, and build quality with the new Aventage receivers! I have an older Yamaha AV receiver and will almost certainly replace it with either an RX-A4A or 6A. Very impressive presentation!
I very much appreciate the love and dedication the engineers have put into this machine, and that they where allowed by Yamaha management to bring it to consumers. However, it would be nice that there is more communication on when new formats wil be supported, as format support is as important than good sound.
I decided to buy the A6A based on a few important factors. since I don't change a receiver every 5 years. The build quality was a huge factor. the large power supply. the XLR inputs and outputs (which you only see on high end receivers) plus even though it has 9 channels plus two separate subwoofer outputs, and 11 channel processing with a separate amp for the 2 mains. and the total weight of the unit. were all important to me. I'm upgrading from a 1997 Onkyo TX-DS838. so for me? this is a huge step up. this is a better unit than the Denon x6700. and better than Marants Cinema 40. well worth the money.
the only thing I wish they had added was additional cooling fans.
I just wanna know when it’s getting shipped! Can’t wait to test it out!!!
Great walk through and explanation. The A8A is out of my economic and priority realities. I did however just acquired an A4A to replace my old RXV871.. The A4A will allow the coming 8K games to be played on the PS5 attached and the theatre experience through the Apple TV has really improved with AV receiver
Thanks for being so clear in your delivery
I love Yamaha AV receivers.
A Yamaha AV receiver with Klipsch tower speakers is audio heaven. IMO
Love the sound quality of my rx-a6a. When are we going to get imax enhanced?
Does the new ATSC 3.0 TV broadcast spectrum mandated by the FCC have an effect on any components, audio, transmission, receiving FM, AM, signals from over the air broadcasting. Thank you, great video and educational!!
Thank you Yamaha, love in depth product videos like this! I have. A question regarding the FPGA system in this new Advantage generation. Say the new HDMI 2.1A specification has been finalized, can Yamaha roll this out into this receiver via firmware update? If so will Yamaha charge for it? Also say Yamaha develops a new YPAO calibration system, can this receiver be updated to this new version? Or let's say Yamaha signs a deal with Dirac. Is this platform with it's Qualcomm SOC and FPGA setup capable of running Dirac with a future firmware update? I'd be willing to buy these "add-ons" down the line rather than having to purchase a whole new receiver. I'm hoping the answers to my questions are yes.
The Main Reason I'm Wanting To Upgrade To Yamaha's Aventage RX-A4A From My RX-385 Is Because I Purchased a 2022 Hisense U8H Ultra High-Def T.V. That Supports eARC HDMI Which My RX-V385 Only Supports ARC
Can consumers know more about the SINAD? And can't SOC updates improve on the Sinad?
I will be taking delivery of my RX-A8A today and am very much looking forward to it...
Tell us what ,and how it sounds 👍
@@chipmunk6386 - Honestly, it's a beast. 150watts per channel. EVERYTHING sounds full and crisp, and the separation of the sound as voices move between the front speakers is the best I've heard yet. I think for the money, this is twice the machine that the Arcam AVR20 was, which I had before this. It simply has so much power that it makes my ears smile.
@@AdultDevelopmentInstitute Awesome 🤯 I'm waiting for the pre processor to come out, hopefully with 2 extra channels of processing. Thanks bro👊👍
Congrats on your new Amp! I'm jealous! May I ask what you had before, and how it compares? Which amps were you considering before choosing this Yamaha flagship receiver? Thanks in advance!
@@raphaelmeillat8527 - I had an Onkyo TX-3010 (I think) and it was an excellent amp. However, it doesn't do 4K and is 10 years old now, so it was time to upgrade. I originally went for the Arcam AVR20 which is a similar price to the Yamaha RX-A8A but the Arcam had lots of issues. I actually had two of them, and they both had many issues with firmware updates and not liking my Sky ! box, and so on. I am very pleased they did because the Yamaha is simply a stunning receiver! It has so much power that the Arcam does not compare. It effortlessly drives my B&W CM9's to the point where I might upgrade next year to the 702's. Depends on the wife :) Thanks Raphael.
When you use the new Denon box for the HDMI 2.1 the gaming optimization don't pop up
At 15:00 what do you mean about the top casing being "aggressive"? A person wielding an axe would look aggressive but an amplifier lid?
Does this A8A allow for using the un-used channels to bi-wire 5 speakers for maximum power output?
denon X6700H is able to do this.
Thnaks
Do you find that the Yamaha AV Controller App is not yet compatible with the RX A6A? I'm asking you this because I can't configure this App with my RX A6A.
Are there any videos showing the scanning laser vibrometer in use showing the differences the 5th foot accomplishes?
Why the display on the front panel is so small?
The RX-A2080 looks MUCH better!
Beautiful recievers- what is the filter cap size for each model?
Well, I've been waiting for the RX-A6A I ordered a couple of months ago. I have heard nothing about an estimated ship date as of now. I'm replacing a RX-A3020 for the 4K pass-through.
Best Buy has them every other week Yamaha A6A
@@bostonquad2068 I haven't seen any
Hey guys!! When can I send in my TSR 700 for 2.1 HDMI upgrade??!! I’ve been waiting patiently…
the updates for 4k120 came out, my question is, does it do 4k120 on zone 2
Please let me know if you get a definitive answer on this.
In the market for a new receiver to replace my 20 yr old Yamaha RXV3200. Would definitely get Yamaha if you offered Direc with it. But will probably go a different direction since you don't. Also hate the little display.
Looks are subjective, I think it looks fine. Sound quality and how it drives speakers that are lower impedance means a lot more, as in actual functionality and not just pleasing on the eye.
How would it cope with say ls50 metas for example?
Have you found the answer to your question yet?
@@AdultDevelopmentInstitute yep, it does drive them but they are not quite to my taste. Maybe I just don't like the coaxial design. Still demoing speakers now, have the neat petite classics at the moment which are pretty good.
4K/120hz IS NOT “out of the box” and as of v1.59, STILL no 4K/120hz! Finally got Auro-3d though. $3k in and I kinda feel like I downgraded from my Aventage 2020, ( aside from Atmos, but I didn’t need to go “Flagship” for that.
I hope you guys eventually deliver on this receiver.
How are you feeling now that the update is out?
Sure, but can it handle four 15" cerwin vegas on each channel wired down to 0.8 ohms? Probably not, Protect will flash in the display hahaha
Is the A4-A having the same built, chip and programming upgradability but with less channels, amplification and no XLR in/output?
Basically, yes. If you go to the Yamaha website they have a side by side comparison that you can compare it to. It also has inferior DAC's.
Im. Impressed. W. Vidio.
Does this have 3d pass through for my 3d TV. Also where would I plug in my reel to reel
Late reply, but the answer is 3D isn't an issue, it's part of HDMI, so yes it will be fine (I have it too but rarely use it). The Tape Deck would go into any of the numerous standard Left / Right RCA audio channels. I'm a bit puzzled why someone who's into audio enough to own a tape deck wouldn't know how they're wired ...
Hello!!!
Dear Yamaha corporation.
I have recently installed a Yamaha rx-a6a in a customers theater.
Now I want all the details for setting up the unit to perfectly produce Dolby Atmos sound with ceiling mounted presence speakers.
Kindly share a link. Thank you!
When does the update come out for the added features of hdmi 2.1?
This is what I'm really waiting on, I want to know for sure that it definitely works since this is something I would be keeping for a bout 10 years before replacing.
Just get the Denon box hdmi 2.1hdmi cuz I bet you any money that's what Yamahas going to do if I spend too much money to ship your receiver in in to ship it back nevermind put the board in it Denon wants $600 to upgrade it
@@bostonquad2068 Good luck with a Denon if there's an issue , or getting parts for it .
You still have to buy the ac fans to keep it cool
Our previous AVR was a RX-V3000, but decided it was time to upgrade as no one streams sound format codecs my receiver can decode, so most movies sound more like an old Dolby Pro Logic soundtrack. I picked up the Aventage RX-A4A as it seemed to have most of the features we wanted, at a price point that fits our budget.
I haven't had time to use the YPAO to dial in the speakers yet, but so far, it sounds fantastic. My only complaints are:
1. No direct Source buttons on the remote.
2. The unit's front display is WAY too small (though it's nice the font size increases substantially when you use the remote)! I miss the big, legible orange display of my RX-V3000
3. Lack of front panel inputs like RCA or HDMI
4. Plastic front? Really?? What is the reasoning, other than cost? Seems very tacky compared to the competition unless there was a reasonable TECHNICAL reason.
What are you comparing the front panel to? I prefer the A4a to the front panel of comparable Marantz, Onkyo, Denon, Integra, Pioneer, and Sony. The only receivers that have 'better' pannels are Arcam, Anthem and maybe NAD. If I were getting the A6A or A8A and then comparing to the Cinema 40 or other flagship models, yes, I would be disappointed... I think. I dont think I ever use the front panel. I just look at the on-screen display.
Why do you care if the front is plastic? I dont get that sentiment. If this thing needed to be road ruggeed, I might would agree. My car is mostly plastic body, with a metal frame, and it wasnt cheap.
What is the use of Direct Source?
Hm, not so good receivers, i have returned two A2A in five days... Reason, units constantly shutting off, with or without connections on back... Very weird to have two faulty units, or maybe some deeper issues with Yamaha AMPS
New Aventage CX separates when??
I agree.....i will not buy untill there is a new line in that series!!
I’ve had the A8A for almost 2 months in Australia, it hasn’t missed a beat as yet.
Can I ask when the update for 120hz 4K and 60hz 8k coming out? Also when is Auro 3D coming out please I’ve I have a handful of titles I’m dying to watch? I’m currently setup for 7.2.4 with overhead speakers, but not permanently fixed until I try out Auro 3D before permanently mounting the top layer speakers for the better overhead experience.
Wow... 2 months?! lucky you! Can't find a single one in Europe! Hesitating between the A8A and the MRX 1140 from Anthem... What did you have before? What do you think about your A8A?
@@raphaelmeillat8527 I had a RX-A3000 the very first flagship Aventage, it died about a year ago and held off for the new A8A. Well worth the wait in my opinion..
Looking forward to the update for Auro 3D as well as 4K 120hz…
I am also in Australia and have had my A8A for a couple of months set up 7.2.4 in height mode and it is a great unit very keen to get full 2.1 and Auro 3D firmware update.
Well, I’m in 7.2.4 and the 1.59 update just released, but I do have any titles encoded with it, but have played some games with it and it’s pretty sweet, albeit subtle compared to Atmos.
In my 7.2.4 setup, I mounted the rears in the ceiling about 6’ in front of the rear surrounds and about 10’ in front of the front surrounds and front (wall mounted) presence and the 360 degree sound is stellar!
IMO, if you have ATMOS, you should have ceiling mounts.
@@jeffstack4217 I'm currently building a 7.1.4 in ceiling Atmos setup now with an A8A. I'm excited to get it all setup and tuned!
That. Correct
The h frame save money on metal
I love my Yamaha amps and i'd like to upgrade my RX-V671 to a top line Yamaha but i noticed your removing more and more legacy connections. Vintage gaming is a big deal still. i currently have a original NES, wii, ps2, atari and a newer XBOX hooked up. the RX-a2a, 4a and 6a counldnt even handle all those. looks like ill be looking for a used or reconditioned RX-A2080 or similar. Please keep component and composite hook ups!!!!
I considered the RV-A6A for the Legacy ports, but decided it wasn't worth $800 more. We have an old Wii and Play Station and was disappointed to see no Component Video Inputs. However, we just leave those Legacy devices plugged directly into the TV.
And why show us the best one when you can show us the mid one 6A6
Tapped out at 8:56. No product demo.
whats the point of a demo thats not in person? hear the sound through youtube? lol online sound demos are stupid and give no real idea of sound quality
Great news , today you don't have 11 models in your lineup...so,for a yamaha avr with 5.1.4 atmos I must spent 2.910,00 €.
I'm thinking to undersell myself ...
It's a little piece of Dynamat
A miniscule display and no front HDMI port. WTF !
Currently on an RXA3070 and extremely happy with the sound quality and features. Maybe I'll make the leap to a newer or Yamaha or possibly step up to the "premium" brands. Anthem, NAD, Arcam etc. we'll see
6 thousand three hundred dollars in Australia but at least it comes with a 10 year warranty here
Yamaha . Brought the A8A to find out that there is below average performance on the centre channel and side channels ... Are you going to fix via a firmware upgrade or do I have a $6.500.00 lemon ... Ridiculous price to pay I know but thought Yamaha would have got this amp right instead of us being Beta testers for you ... Always have had Yamaha receivers ... This is a Very disappointing amplifier ... I doubt you'll even bother replying
They’re cowards
Why are the LCR channels performing below average? What exactly happened in your case? Did you set the 4ohm switch? ALWAYS leave it at 8ohms no matter what ohm speakers you have,!
Gents! Get to the point AKA ship date!!!
Like I want to really hear about the functionalities like why come out with a $3,000 receiver it don't even have all the firmware updates like when I watch a video like this it makes me want to be the guy for Yamaha cuz I would have plugged it into a TV showed everybody everything every single detail just my opinion cuz I love Yamaha
Still Doesnt do 120hz 4k as I found out today which was a deal breaker for me..stop releasing unfinished products
Exactly why I haven't bought it yet they need to come out with a firmware update
It does today.
YOU have not made a unit that is equal to or better that the Yamaha RX-Z9. I do not care for HDMI going thru a receiver I run right to my panel. Obviously I made the right decision because of all the changes since the Z9 to HDMI is ridiculous. 1.1 on and on Also I hear no audible difference between DTS AND DTS-HD-MA
Exactly what i was thinking.
The RX-V2095 probably has a better amp than this thing
I have had Yamaha for years really great sounding stuff. Customer service is very poor. I had bought a rx a1060 from the United states a while back and it stop powering up within a short period. No display unit not powering on. Email Yamaha USA with the problem and no help. They said I need to contact Yamaha south America. Contacted Yamaha south America no help.
LG C1😜😜😜😜
Get us the promised upgrades we need to make it work with Xbox
Come on give us 120 hz at 4K as promised
Hahahahaha, Smoke and more Smoke. I want see real demos of music and cinema, no casual videogames. The AVR are for Cinema and Music, the videogames are secundary thing.
I know they're talking about switching channels and how it has to reconfigure itself TV does the same thing I want to see a real demo
Yamaha I'm disappointed in you you actually have to show a demo
Sorry but you guys are talking too much about a bunch of nothing so can you show us the details this is what we want to see as the customer
Why after all the work on the chassis and internals would Yamaha go with such a ugly plastic panels on front and top? That display is a joke and having no hdmi input is just embarrassing in this price point.that front panel is the worst Yamaha has done. Should have a usb input on the back also. I was all Yamaha until i went to Marantz in 2018 with the AV8805 and SR8012 and so far they are better.

you need binoculars to see the display--- its why i didnt upgrade to anothet yamaha--- very dissapointed in the useless display
When the display of my bloody Beko washing machine looks 10 times better than the display of this Yamaha flagship AVR, it is a great red flag for any potential customer regarding what's inside of that AVR and its audiophile and videophile performance... They really went very wrong with the actual design. Better without any display, than with this one... I wonder when will they come out with an AV processor to match the level of the build quality of the 15-year-old Denon AVP A1HD. When will we receive fully differential balanced XLR outputs, top-of-the-line OP-amps, top-of-the-line DAC from ESS Sabre or from AKM, and dedicated ultra-low noise power supplies? With a serious phono preamp for both MM and MC cartridges included... Also with HDCD decoder, SACD stereo, and multichannel playback - because audiophiles don't abandon their disc collection... Streaming capability capable of reproducing highest quality audio files from Tidal (Master)... And regarding video processing power - when will we get a trully performant video section, one capable of upsampling DVD video to 4 or even 8K resolution? Personally, I want a 'monster' capable of playing every audio and video file to a maximum level of quality with the help of nowadays top-of-the-line technology. I want an AV processor that will be the best out of the box, one that you will not need to send to other companies specialized in audio that do tuning. Also, to my opinion, It is completely useless to add more channels just for some questionable sound effects if the audio quality is not getting significantly better!
Make a great product but your support sucks.Never receive reply
The guy seems like a really nice guy but Yamaha has to get somebody that can speak to the people so they can understand a lot better nobody cares about the chassis it's not a 57 Chevy but we do care about the sound and all the functionalities you guys need somebody like sound United has
Don't know what your on about but this was super informative...call me boring but I enjoyed it.
Yeah, it clearly explains what exactly you are paying for, it’s a factual documentary. Sound is subjective, meaning, no one can tell you what sounds good or not, that’s for one to decide.
BS! lol
small screen scrap yamaha
Jesus, what a snooze fest.
What ever you say, what ever you do it doesn't matter... It's horribly UGLY !
What you need is a much bigger LCD screen with a clean-cut design.
* Check out the previous RX-A80 series for reference.
Bigger screen... Yes.! Oled would be nice. 👍 Ugly.. Hmmm🤔
Personally I don't really care that much for having a screen, so a small one is fine with me.
Ok that's fine with me 😜
