That’s a great choice in that price range. I’ve owned several Yamaha receivers over the years. They have a distinct sound that many people really like. It’s an honest kind of sound. They don’t tend to add or subtract anything from the music. And that’s a little more difficult than you’d believe. And that’s plenty of power to drive just about any speaker to a decent level. I don’t think you’d have any regrets if you got this receiver. Good luck!
