    • Most dynamic and engaging sound
1/15/24: I should mention that I connected my old Yamaha rx 1070 and no HDMI or HDCP issues. The A8A started giving HDCP 2.2 errors. No video on TV. Have to restart receiver to get compatibility. This happened after a recent firmware update. Very unfortunate since it's an awesome receiver. Update 12/27: so I've had this receiver for just over a month and I can say with confidence that I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I have disconnected to Arundel 1723 speakers and the sound is just outstanding. I leave the surround AI on all the time and I've compared the sound with it on and off and the difference is perceptible. The surround AI makes dialogue more intelligible and creates a wide sound field. The best part again are the scenes which you can configure to your heart's content. I will point to the fact that initially I did the YPAO angle measurement incorrectly. There are two parts to the stand the tripod(propeller type)and a stand that fits onto it. The fourth position is high up on the stand after it is fixed to the propeller stand. Use a tripod stand to achieve great results. If you have Dolby Atmos and/ or front presence and rear presence speakers turn off the speaker virtualization and this will give you better sound. Also when doing the calibration choose your measurement points at least two to three feet apart. To give you some context I have tested the Onkyo RZ70, Sony 7000ES ,marantz Cinema 50 and Denon X4800. The Yamaha a8a outshines all these receivers. It is a blast to watch movies. The sound is very punchy especially in the mid bass and the lower bass is literally room shaking. The surround AI feature is awesome and I would advise that you use it. I was initially skeptic about this but it creates a sense of immersion as if you are right in the movie. The dialogue is crystal clear and very easily intelligible. I would strongly recommend using AI or at least giving it a try. The remote is backlit which is great. One of the most powerful features of this receiver is scenes. With this, you can assign various functions to one button on the remote. The only downside I see is the on-screen display which takes up the whole screen. It should be a banner at the bottom. The other issue I have is in the music cost app where on the input screen the whole real estate is taken up by a symbol that you can choose. I would have preferred instead some more useful information like the number of speakers being used. This is one of the best receivers I've ever heard. You will not be disappointed if you buy this. ... show more

Used this to replace my aging Pioneer Elite SC37. My first time using Yamaha. I have had Sony Elites and other Pioneer Elites (each one the flagship model). So far the sound quality is great. I am still old school with 400 DVD disc changer and 400 BD disc changer so some older type input connections are a must along with 6 other HDMI devices. This handles them all nicely as well as connectivity with all my new tech. Low volume is clear and crisp and when I want to crank it up with a great movie who needs to go to an IMAX theater... ... show more

    • Feature Rich - Great Piece Of Kit
Top of the line in terms of audio and video quality. Tremendous flexibility. Highly recommend. My second Yamaha. They know how to build great A/V receivers. Using the Yamaha a few months in. Still really great. Liking I can stream from a lot of different vendors. Two problems have come up that impact me: 1.) Speaker connectors are so cheaply made, it's very frustrating. They are fragile and do not accept spade connectors. 2.) I cannot set the unit to bi-wire main speakers when configured with 7.2.4. It forces a zone in the mix and you lose an extra channel of amplification. I should be able to choose between a zone or bi-amping my speakers. I do not plan on ever using a zone. I want all of the channels of amplification available to me. One can bi-amp the main speakers in 7.2.4, but, only with an external amplifier. ... show more

    • Atmos
Disappointed with the audio delay. When playing a movie or anything with dolby atmos. It takes 7 seconds for you to hear the audio. Anything else and it's instant. Not sure why it's like that

    • Great AV Features!
I have always been a Yamaha customer for AV and audio components. I always thought their quality is exceptional for the price of the units. For this AVR I first bought the Marantz SR-7015 and set it up only to find a problem with the audio cutting out randomly. I found there were some review posts about this anomaly. I bought the Marantz because it cost less than the Yamaha RX-A8A with similar features and it was available at a retail store. I returned it and purchased this unit through Amazon. I love it! Easy to setup. The menu system is so much easier than the Marantz. I recommend it for those who want to spend a little more for quality. Note: HDMI CEC is an issue with this unit and others so don't hold it against Yamaha. Streaming systems (like Roku) don't work well because their output is always on and the RX-A8A sees the signal and sometime switches to it automatically when video passthrough is enabled when the system is off. Other devices included. That is I have a Sony Ultra HD BD/DVD player and I needed to turn off HDMI CEC because it would always turn on when I turned on the TV and it was selected as the input. Even though my STB was on and the last input. My STB does not support HDMI CEC so that is why the input switched. Again, not an issue with Yamaha but on the standard. ... show more

    • Long time Aventage owner
This amp is amazing. I upgraded from the RX-A2A to the A8A. It effortlessly drives my Tekton Pendragons. The backlit remote, multi point YPAO, and Surround AI are nice upgrades from the A2A. I have a 7.2.2 system and this and the A6A were the only ones that handle that many channels. I’ve owned Yamaha Aventage amps for 12 years and Yamaha receivers for 22 years; this is the best one I’ve owned. My shipment arrived mishandled and one of the antennas was broken. But that’s a reflection of the delivery not the product ... show more
