Price Paid:  $313.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
I workat best best buy and have tried all of yamaha's low-medium revievers and must say that the 5660 is a great deal. I wanted to get the 5590 but i could only blow one paycheck so that was out of the question. Its an upgraded 5560 and for the price(I paid wholesale) it cant be beat. The entire yamaha line is incredible. We only use yamaha's topower our speaker displays, granted we donthave that many.:) But even the old 5240's sound great with the klipsch SF 2's. The power is clean att all volume levels, even the dsp's arent that bad. The # of inputs that you get combined with 6.1 discreat is great. distortion is 0.06% at 85watts wich isnt bad. although you will get 720 watts total if you really crank it.

Strengths:
Nice design, front inputs( you get a front fiber optical) display. preamp outs.

Weaknesses:
remote control is a little limited
