  Just bought a VSX-932 yesterday. But i cant justify the extra $155 and plus my cabinet wont fit with the enlarged case of the 933. Nonetheless, good deal for the 933. Some people would benifit with the extra features for the extra money. It's the cheapest i've seen since the last jb hifi deal.

          @blackwalnut: Probably not, unless you need the extra inputs etc.

      Comparison Yamaha has the slight advantage for power(90w), 10w more @ 8ohms compared to the vsx933. Very similar specs otherwise.
      I bought my vsx932 via kg electronics using the Program20 code which gets the receiver to $535.20

  Thanks grababargain, that's the best price I've seen for the V685 to date. Been waiting to replace one toasted in a power surge from all the storms we've been having.

  just measured my cabinet and it is 170mm height, all these receivers are 171 or 173 in height ! back to the drawing board.

    Yeah, normal receivers are very bulky in dimension. I have problem with the depth in buying av receivers. Unless you go with a slim model. But slim models are usually 50watts @8ohms 2ch driven of power only as opposed to a VSX932 or 933 80w @ 8ohms.

        Here's an idea, perhaps you can take off the feet of the avr and put a rubber/foam padding on all four corners. That way, you get the height clearance that you need. I did that on my denon avr last time and it's just a simple screw to take it off. Then, buy external usb powered computer fans for air circulation in the cabinet and you should be sweet.

          @Volution: cheers, i didnt know the legs come off, because i actually have more room in the cabinet, it has a frame around the front, so potentaily take legs off and put them back on. gather they must screw on and off?

            +1

            @blackwalnut: On my denons, it's just a simple screw. One screw for each ends. I'd imagine it will be the same with any receiver as the feets are just plastic feets screwed to the chassis.
