Yamaha RX-V775WA Pro Reviews

The Yamaha RX-V775WA shows one of the most formidable receiver makers doing what it does best: producing a great-sounding amp. Getting the Wi-Fi adapter in the carton at no extra cost is another notable plus, as is the built-in AirPlay, though I wish Yamaha had also thrown in a free Bluetooth adapter (or better yet, built-in Bluetooth). With integral Bluetooth becoming a standard feature on soundbars, one wonders why it isn’t equally prevalent on receivers. Android phone and tablet users are otherwise well served by the smartphone-friendly front-panel MHL/HDMI jack and Android/Kindle control apps. But without decent sound, it’s easy to get bored with your system and walk away, no matter how many features you have. This Yamaha receiver makes it easy to stay passionately involved.
