Yamaha RX-777 Natural Sound Stereo Receiver

I feel I must respond to the other,bizarre review of the RX77. I am using the unit now with 2 speakers and find it to be one of the best,unadorned stereo receivers around. The sound on any of my cds is full and detailed. I listen mostly to classical,opera, Broadway and jazz and have been very satisfied with the sound.There is a direct switch, but I prefer to leave it off so that I can regulate the bass. There is no Dolby, Pro Logic etc. on the unit, but for simple stereo this 100 watts per channel is hard to beat.Not made anymore, used units are available on Ebay.Check Google etc. for reviews and dealers. Worth $300.00 orless for the sheer sound and simplicity of the unit.Free manuals can be downloaded from Yamaha Canada [not U.S.] through Google.Stereophiles rejoice.

Todays best receiver is no where close to the Yamahas of the late 70's. Music lovers who like a nice warm tone will not find it here. Otherwise its great.
