| What do you all think of older (early 1990's) high end Yamaha receivers like the RX-V870 and RX-V1070 for use a a 2 channel stereo? I'm looking for a 2 channel receiver to deliver crisp, clear sound to by B&W bookshelf speakers in my bedroom and I see older higher end Yamaha units for sale on classifieds sites so I'm wondering if it would be a good match for my Denon Cd player and B&W bookshelf speaker? |

| Those are good receivers. But you would have paid for extra amplifiers and surround processors you wouldn't use. Sonically, you would be better off buying Yamaha's or someone else's good 2 channel receiver. I'd look for a Yamaha RX595 or a Denon DRA675. |

| Thanks for the information. I didn't realize that a lower priced 2 channel receiver from Yamaha would sound better than their $900 fancy multifunction one. |

| For a bedroom unit wouldn't you be better off buying a new Yamaha or Onkyo receiver that is entry level but still of good quality for your purpose? |
