Once you get into a higher end component system like yours --it turns into a monster regarding the $ and work required getting the system fine tuned. Of course its REALLY worth the effort as you have a system w/serious performance. I'm a 33 yr old guy, been into thr home audio hobby for about...

Hi there, An AVR is an audio video receiver. It requires all of that "stuff" to do that. It provides audio, video, multiple surround formats and processing to a multichannel surround sound system, generally 6+ and up to a 15 speaker Atmos set-up. Think of a modern AVR as the computer/brains...

I still would seriously consider getting a decent reviewed soundbar in 130-250$ price range. There's often many on sale/clearance too. Their much better than lousy TV speakers and simple setup overall. and that would solve your problem with guests coming to your house/tv watching. Why not...

Unfortunately " Doodski" is right. if you took my audio system and put it in your apartment you would get evicted very quickly. Remember a good soundbar + possibly? sub combo could also be a good simple/option.

Hi there, your primary goal is a 2 channel or 2.1 system for your TV setup. I wouldn't bother spending ALOT of your budget on av receiver unless you want a multichannel surround system setup. If you're current dated avr is a higher end model (1500$ +up retail new; think Denon 3800s series or...

Hello there, The Yamaha rx z7 is a VERY good receiver and always will be. It's one of the best 7.1 avr in 2010 era w/ performance measurements/ reviews to back it up. It doesn't REALLY need to be measured and compared against new high end atmos avr receivers. It's kinda pointless Its...
