I recently purchased this receiver, and I am glad I did. Setup was a breeze. I can't believe how well this receiver performs. The sound reproduction is second to none, having owned several other brands to compare The YPAO calibration elevates my speakers performance, and the various sound fields are something to experienced! I also own a receiver with Dirac, and after listening to the calibration results of the A4A, I can honestly state; Dirac is overrated.... Take the plunge and buy this receiver!

I have owned my first Aventage RX-A4A for four years and love it. I started using it as the main home theater receiver but now I use it as a preamp and signal processor with a Monolith power amplifier to drive my speakers. It has a decent DAC for my use and the All-Channel stereo mode provides a very immersive music experience, much better than just stereo mode. It has good flexibility for interconnecting to my TV and other equipment. I use it primarily for listening to HD FLAC music from my NAS using the MusicCast feature that makes it easy to access all my content on the NAS. I also use it for watching HD movies and that works well also. It supports dual subwoofers and has 2 trigger outputs for subwoofers or power amps. Did I mention that it's built like a tank? How much do I like it? I just bought a second one for another music/home theater project I'm working on. If you need a 5 or 7 channel receiver this should be at the top of your list.

I'd owned an Onkyo for years and years, and I was satisfied. But instead of satisfied, I wanted to be excited again about my sound. I bought an RX-A2A. The sound was absolutely wonderful. But the menu system was really slow and the HDMI switching was problematic. I swapped it and went extra with an RX-A4A. It was more than I'd wanted to spend. But this thing is phenomenal!! Right out of the box, the sound gave me goosebumps! The menus are much more responsive. They are also reconfigured for much easier setup. And the HDMI switching is flawless. AI Surround, not available with the A2A, is awesome! I love everything about this receiver. Please be sure to take advantage of the web-based setup app. It makes setup so much faster and more refined for a device with so many options. Of course, the unit cost more than I'd planned to spend. And it's a little too large for my component rack. But it's found a home here. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Almost perfect for me. Very good sound quality (with dali option), neutral sound, Easy to set I think, but menu a little complicated. it works with music cast, I can listen music from my iPhone, Macbook and other. But not everything works good. When I change source or change tv canal it disconnect and it take few seconds to find signal. this disadvantage appear after one update. The second thing is online service, it's mad. when I want to contact with them I need to fill form where I write I have a problem with amplituner. I always get answer that they are music instruments department and they can't help. And the other problem is with music cast, it Always set music for lowest volume, other thing when I want to connect room it switch off music, so connected room doesn't work. So it needs a little bit to perfection.
Excellent Sound and Functionality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sound provided by the power to drive 2 large KEF R11s and Q250C center speakers. The setup was quick, and pretty much mirrored my previous Yamaha receiver. I would add another star if the receiver would "remember" the last Sound Program or if a program could be assigned to a connected device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks fantastic and great options. Two negatives are the depth and the lack of a manual for all the setup options. Way too hard to go to the computer or phone to try to figure out set up. Nice two zone sound but the older setup was easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this unit to replace a pretty old Harmon Kardon surround unit and an NAD C3050 that was doing stereo duty. I bought the NAD because the HK didn't have a good phono amp built in. When the HK finally bit the dust, I sold the NAD to put towards an all-in-one (surround sound and stereo music) solution in the RX-A4A. Wow! Not only does it look beautiful but it sounds amazing. Plenty of power. The hookup to our network for streaming and bluetooth were easy peezy. We are running the RX through a pair of vintage JBL L-100's with custom crossovers that sit atop a pair of 10" Pure Sound subs. Magic 3D sound. I also love the Yamaha app and playing with the different concert auditoriums when playing live tracks. All-in-all I'm super satisfied.
Outstanding So Far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] MONUMENTALLY better than the Onkyo TX-SR805 it replaced for both music and movies. Sound setup / room profile setup did wonders and has great flexibility to cut or add certain frequencies. The subwoofer output / LFE is now what I would expect.
I don't need all the bells and whistles, but worth it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a Christmas gift from my wife. All I wanted was a 2 channel system and I got the most beautiful sounding piece of equipment I've ever owned. This thing's got all the connections I need for all of my analog and digital equipment, while replicating the sound remarkably well.

I've had Yamaha receivers since the 70's. The only reason I've ever replaced one is to keep up with the current technology. In, I still my first three. Never had any issues with any of them. I expect the A4A will be just as dependable.

The unit died after six months. I too it to the repair facility and they said parts would take 10 to 12 weeks. I contacted Yamaha and they replaced it with a new one. The new one has been fine for the last few weeks.
Excellent unit!

Very pleased with the AVR. I primarily use for music listening however also enjoy occasional home theatre/movies using excellent sounding unit. The number of pre established (DSPs) to manage sound configurations are way more that I need and I view as excessive. However, this I not a negative issue. Relatively easy set up with guide as a helpful tool.
Always Yamaha

I finally upgraded my RX-V1600. I looked long and hard at other comparable brands but ultimately decided to stick with Yamaha. Build quality is as expected. Features are what I wanted. I was hesitant on the new look of this receiver. Once I got it installed and set up, I was pleasantly surprised. So far, YPAO and the new AI Surround format have dramatically increased the overall sound experience with my system. My only gripe is the 110 watts. I would've preferred 120-125 but I don't always listen at loud volumes and even when I have, this receiver still performed. Once Yamaha, Always Yamaha.

Great sound, great picture, great flexibility. The set up instructions sneed to be improved and they should be more detailed since set up was not intuitive

We have a home theater setup with 5 speakers and a base unit. We just love the new RX-A4A, the sound quality is so vibrant. The highs and lows (base) is just so clear.
Lack of power and sound quality reduced rating
3 out of 5 stars

Easy to set up. Customer service good. Not the best sound quality even after trying manual adjustments. Volume starts at 0 and goes 98. No audible sound until the lows 30s and can raise up to the 50s and still have a conversation with others in the room. This is indicative of the lack of power. My living room isn't huge so not a real problem but if you have a large room, you'll want something more powerful. The music programs (hall, chamber, cellar, etc., make music sound horrible. The video programs (drama, action, sports, etc.,) don't add anything. I basically use All Channel Stereo for music and Surround Decoder for everything else. All other programs are superfluous. If I hadn't gotten on sale and my last AVR receiver was discontinued, I would have returned it. I will say I purchased a Denon 2700 and returned it. The sound was very tinny. I then went to a Magnolia store and listed to the high end Denons and Marantz options and they were just as bad as the Denon I purchased.

Had a Yamaha AVR X471 and bought a Denon 2500H. Something was missing, I went back and purchased an A4A and love it. Everything is better, Sound, running temp power, except remote functions better on Denon. #sweepstakes

Well built, excellent sound extreme value. Sounds amazing compared to my Denon 2500H. Pros - Sound (detail, soundstage), power and runs cooler. Cons - Only one - cannot adjust bass/treble or equalize from the remote without having the AVR functions displayed on the TV. I don't use cell phone apps.
I would probably either buy the yamaha a6a. Addiction. Lol

I do have a home theater room but I did not pull the trigger for the yamaha a6a for the dual sub separate connection plus the power increase.
