Here is a forum thread from a few months ago at the same price. It has a lot more information and went FP; not sure why this is lukewarm vs. the previous post. I guess timing is everything..

I'm the OP of this deal and was wondering why it hasn't garnered much interest or conversation.

Could it have something to do with the time of day when I posted it?!? 🤷🏻 ♂️

I suppose the previous deal was posted around Black Friday; people were in the market to spend money. Price is the same and nothing has changed in the deal, so who knows.

The Sony 1080 was selling for $300 at Massdrop earlier this year and late last year. $400 is definitely not a great price.

Many engineers and scientists have attempted to prove over the years that one amplifier has much better sonic than another. But no one was able to devise a scientific test that could support this claim. It's no different than religion.

I've seen in-room frequency response graphs of two different amplifiers that vary by +/-0.5dB using the same speaker. However, moving the test microphone 2 feet in any direction will yield a much larger frequency response variation.

The Costco warranty is part of this deal, it needs to be taken into account. If you pay with Citi Visa, that's 4 years.

It doesn't. I wouldn't buy a non Aventage Yamaha
This seems to be a rebadged aventage a780 so yes it does compare. Only difference between this and aventage seems to be one less leg. Every other spec is the same. Im guessing they didn't want people to know this cheaper costco one is in fact an aventage. I haven't opened it up to compare the internal components but based on much research before I bought this receiver it seems to be the same as aventage a780. Go online and research a well known audio/video forum to see for yourself. Only downside with this receiver is the lack of a preamp to add an amplifier. Last version at costco had the preamp. For the money this is a reluable very good receiver. Obviosly a marantz would be better but it costs double this one at least. Going from very good to top of the line gains you incremental improvement but at a much higher cost which goes against most slickdealers opinion of going for most bang for your buck

How does this compare to Denon x2500h?

Here are the specs: https://www.crutchfield.com/compa...2500H.html

You're going to get a different opinion depending on who you talk to when it comes to Denon vs. Yamaha

Have always had Yamaha's through the years and never had any problems with them. Tried a Denon a couple of years ago and have had nothing but problems with it.
I'll be sticking with Yamaha.

Today's Denon and Marantz are overpriced (average engineering design that focuses more on the bottom line).

Yamaha produced several excellent receivers with great value (1996 to 2004). The newer stuffs add a lot of me-too bells and whistles while sacrificing the robustness of the amplifier section. That said, Yamaha's electronics design remain top notch (bang for your $).

Quote from RCMIKE :
You sound as though you're planning for a failure. Why? Yamaha makes great products and their receivers are quite reliable. When I need a new receiver, I buy Yamaha refurbs that are Costco returns. Very good value there. I bought "last year's" Yamaha for $300 as a refurb, and it's got more bells and whistles than the current one.

If you aren't a Costco member, check to see how their return policy applies to non-member purchases.

I guess I am. I bought a Yamaha RX-V577 that has been randomly shutting itself off and recentlt has static in the front right channel when playing music after a little over three years. So I'm in the market for a new receiver. I'm not holding it against the brand, but also wondering if buying this would be like buying an expensive gaming PC to play free cell. Smilie if they handle their returns like Kohl's then I'm in.

I reckon the AV receivers fall under their generous return policy.

I don't see them listed here (from Costco's site):

Electronics: Costco will accept returns within 90 days (from the date the member received the merchandise) for Televisions, Tuner-Free Displays, Projectors, Major Appliances (refrigerators above 10 cu. ft., freezers, ranges, cooktops, over-the-range microwaves, dishwashers, washers and dryers), Computers, Touchscreen Tablets, Smart Watches, Cameras, Aerial Cameras (drones), Camcorders, MP3 players and Cellular Phones (return details will vary by carrier service contract).
If an item falls under their 90 day policy, it usually gets triggered at the register which prints said policy on the receipt. Is this happening for the Yamaha receiver? Only one way to find out.

Just bought one, thanks OP. I've had an RX-V577 that has worked well over the past few years but need an upgrade to full 4K support. I used to be an Onkyo and Denon diehard, but after some issues with HDMI, I've loved the Yamaha.

Just picked one up. This is perfect because my Emotivia is having some issues and I need to send it back to them. This will work perfectly in the meantime.
