Compared to the same class of receivers, in its price range. Examples Pioneer sx1050/ sx 1080/ Sanusi 8080/ or Kenwood Kr-9600. The Yamaha has smaller capacitors. But at mid-level listening way cleaner than the others. I was listening to Klipsch Chores 2 at the time. Very loud and bass heavy speakers.
I had one, super clean sound, but lax’s bottom end punch.
Bottom of the line. Entry level
That nice, 10 bucks if you feel good about it, and so does the old lady, that’s great. I was just joking about over paying.
