I bought an AVR from Adorama on the last deal too, and my box was trashed. Spending this kinda money on high end electronics, and they don't bother throwing it in a box is ridiculous.

Did the "future firmware update" ever come for all the 2.1 features on these?

Yes, they are activated. I been waiting on this for a month. I picked up the A6A from BB today and its an overkill for my setup. Taking back tommorow and going with the A4A. Thanks Iconian. I never got alert though.

Just bought the A2A from Best Buy for 999 using store credits. Would they price match this if I returned the A2A?

You are going to need to talk to BB. Depends on who you get online. Sometimes they will not price match, they will pull the store has to be within 25 miles BS. They matched the A6A for me @ 1399 on last deal. I finally went and picked up the unit yesterday due to being last day and I didn't think this deal would come back. The A6A is going back. I never opened. I would never use the 9 channels and I could save the money and put it use on something else. Good luck with BB, you may have a good manager at your local store.

I think they still have hardware limitations on their ports

Some of the other models have to be sent into yamaha to get an upgraded hdmi board to work correctly with 4k120hz gaming.

I don't think a2a/a4a/a6a/a8a are included.. i think the "rx" models are the ones you need to look out for..


Yamaha has a website steup (sorry i'm really busy right now) for people to ship in their receivers and have everything replaced free of charge (they will even send you box and packing materials if necessary)

Why would you pay $800 for this vs. the $400 onkyo/denon 7.2 receiver at Costco ?

This Yamaha has pre-outs so you can connect an external amplifier. Also, all of the HDMI inputs are 2.1. Is this worth double the price?

I've had issues with two onkyo receivers and would never purchase another one. Only advantage purchasing that garbage is it's through Costco so at least you have a better return policy. I've had my yamaha for years now and zero issues.

This has room to grow when you realize receiver power just isn't enough to get loud. I have an Onkyo too but it's a higher end model, still needed an external amplifier because the internal amp wasn't even enough for a 5 channel setup.
