I've been in the market for a new AV receiver for a while, and went to The Good Guys in Preston to pick up the cheaper Yamaha YHT-1810B for $377. Sales guy ended up offering me a pretty decent deal on this WAY better unit, and I'm pretty stoked. Speakers are solid wood, not plastic, with multiple drivers in them. Sub is active (powered) instead of passive. Sound is pretty much fantastic. Receiver can be controlled with the Yamaha AV Connection app, and the amp is wired ethernet only, but the Yamaha wifi adapter is included as well.

6x HDMI in, 1x HDMI out, supports 4K and has AirPlay, active sub, Spotify and Pandora built in.

Includes:
* RX-V477 Network AV Receiver
* YST-SW030 powered subwoofer
* YWA-10 wifi adapter
* 5 x speakers

Far as I can tell, most TGG stores seem to have stock. Best price I could find anywhere online was $955, RRP seems to be $1,199.00. Good luck.

    But you bought a $15 HDMI cable…?!

      Sigh…I wondered how long it would take before I'd cop it for that. It was 5pm on a Sunday and I needed something that supported ARC to get this hooked up, and I'm not a patient man. Convenience beats cheapness.

      (And I feel like a right nong, too - turns out, despite ARC being added in HDMI 1.4, turns out HDMI 1.3 cables have the pins for it anyway)

        don't beat yourself up, 15 bux is fine. its 50 -150 bux monster cables that are the issue…

    You went to buy something worth $377 and ended up paying $890 for something else?

    You're sales reps' dream!

    PS. Sorry but doesn't seem like a bargain to me.

      Amp + Speakers & Sub for $377. Can you show me where to get that?

    • cjmac on 21/04/2015 - 00:21

      Sure, the way I worded it it does come across that way. In reality, I did a ton of research, went to check out something worth $377, decided it wasn't for me, asked the sales rep whether he could do me a deal on another model I'd already researched (and listened to - a family member has one, too), and paid $890 knowing it was at least $50 cheaper than anywhere else, and at least $100 cheaper than most retailers…

    I guess it depends on the quality of the speakers, that's what is most likely going to make this a deal or not.

    • cjmac on 21/04/2015 - 00:19

      Honestly, they're pretty good. Very solid and heavy, good full-range reproduction.

    You should have bought something like this

      BRING DA NOIZE!!

      (Seriously though, my fiancee would KILL me if I'd bought that for our 1BR apartment…)

    This is what he bought according to his invoice: http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/yamaha-home-theatre-system-575…

    Not a bad price. I picked this up for $879 at the last eBay 20% off sale.
