Powerful and punchy surround sound ; Subtle dynamics ; Clear, precise placement

Spring clips and banana plugs for speaker terminals ; No network features

Best home cinema amplifier up to £350, Awards 2014. Superb surround sound on a budget – a contender for a first home cinema system

For $300, the Yamaha RX-V377 is quite the receiver. It has 4/1 HDMI inputs with ARC, CEC, and 4k/3D pass-through. It has two component/three composite video inputs and three digital and four analog audio inputs for legacy gear. At 5.1 channels and 70...

The only part of this receiver that was disappointing was the menu interface. Wow. I think I could have done better back in the day of DOS when graphics truly sucked. It's clunky and has what seems like a strange way to navigate the controls. For a...
