This is the top of the line in Yamaha's outgoing range of premium A/V receivers. Todds HiFi have a special deal on the last of their stock of RX-A3050 units for only $2295
The replacement unit, the RX-A3060 isn't due until September and there is relatively little change between the two models.
In brief, the new model will get an upgrade to it's on-board calibration system "YPAO", a new HD interface and DSP available for Dolby Atmos and will actually LOSE support for Ipod/Apple devices via USB. The output power, DACs and may other features remain the same.
