Summary:
I've had the Yamaha RXV-2090 for several years now. Its the center piece of my $4,000 dollar Hi Fi Music /Movie system. I have to say , This is the workhorse of the Yamaha High End Sound reproduction system. In its day, It was the top of the line receiver Yamaha had to offer, And what an offering it has been. This is a solid solid receiver, It delivers pure , undisturbed ,undistorsioned and flawless signal through each of its 7 discrete channels through the complete range of amplification !, and with its massive Toroidal amplifier coil Weighin in at 70+ lbs, it can only send one message to all other HI Fi equipment manufacturers, This is the Yamaha Quality , this is what all others will be judged by.. Year after year... uniterrupted ,and undegraded service for your listening pleasure , I've had my wim set on progressing to the Yamaha RV-1 someday.. as soon as I feel that the RXV2090 ceases to amaze me or no longer impresses the socks off of all my colleages.
That day might never come...

My Yamaha RXV 2090, 10 years old, and still 10 years ahead of the rest...

Onkyo and Dennon, Welcome to the neighborhood!.. I salute you..Come , sit down at the Yamaha table of QUALITY , you've earned it.

Summary:
I purchased this receiver in addition to the DDP-1 because I wanted an AC-3 system. I was not disappointed. This receiver is seven years old an still sounds great. Listening to music in two channel mode is flawless.

Strengths:
Clean, powerfull sound.

Weaknesses:
Lack of digital inputs. Poor bass and LFE channel management. Why is there no input for the .1 channel?

Summary:
This is one of the best recievers that Yamaha released, even better than some of their newer models, with the exception of the RX-V1. I have had mine for over 3 years, and have not had any problem. The speakers I use are small. JBL contours for the rears, Infinity Kappa sub, Bose 301 for Main A, and Bose Center. The speakers and Receiver work awesome with one another. The sounds are awesome. I'll be trading this in for The RX-V1, but it will become the center of attention in another room.

Strengths:
Everything about it is a strength. The DSP modes are pure and clean, better than the fake DSP modes most receivers have. The DD is awesome. Lots of inputs, it's sleek, the remote is good (although the buttons are to the same).

Weaknesses:
Since this is before we became Digital input heads, that all, as well as the continuous watts throughout all speakers and individual speaker adjustments, especially for the subwoffer.
