Yamaha HTR-6090

$1,100.00 Released January, 2005

The Pros:Setup is quick and obvious, easy enough for entry-level users. Excellent channel separation, great for both music and movies. Enough power to the speakers to fill a medium to large sized room.

The Cons:Needs a firmware update to operate properly, may have audio cut-outs if you don't. Face plate and knobs are made of cheap plastic rather than the metal in the RX-V2700.

The Yamaha HTR-6090 is a high end HTR 6090 7.1x120W Digital Home Theater receiver released in 2005 and retails at $1,100. It's features are identical to that of the $100 cheaper Yamaha HTR-6080, but it also has 1080p compatible HDMI, high-definition video up-conversion, and de-interlacing.
