Costco is now selling their rebranded V6A, the TSR-700, for $400!! ... They are the same AVR, spec sheets are identical and they even use the same firmware on Yamaha’s website. No idea why it is so much less than the V6A, but I just returned my V6A from Best Buy today and picked one up from Costco.
I think you might be obsessing just a little too much over the small details
This is also now available on [Costco.com](https://Costco.com) \- [https://www.costco.com/yamaha-tsr-700-7.2-channel-network-av-receiver.product.100686465.html](https://www.costco.com/yamaha-tsr-700-7.2-channel-network-av-receiver.product.100686465.html) just placed an order - my first AVR!
The Yamaha hands down. ... I love the Yamaha.
The only downside of the Yamaha is that their hdmi ports have limited bandwidth at 24gbps instead of the usual 40 or 48gbps.
I simply brought up the issue with the Yamaha hdmi bandwidth issue incase you were looking to hook up gaming consoles to it in order to make use of the hdmi 2.1 functionality.
The Yamaha is much better in the UI dept, has a better amplifier, but is limited to HDMI 2.0, ypao works fine as well.
I very much preferred the sound, look, and function of it over the Denon I sold it for. I sold it because of the limited HDMI bandwidth and a host of really annoying handshake issues between consoles..
When placed in a common spot, you can't see them. They didn't not hide them, you're just looking up its skirt, so-to-speak.
And my Yamaha AVR I got in 2020 and still going strong I have friends who went Denon for the better HDMI specs around the same time which needed replacing since it stopped switching on randomly.
next up: why does the underside of my car look ugly when I put my face on the ground?
I returned a recently purchased Denon for this Yamaha when I saw it yesterday in Pflugerville.
Owners overwhelmingly praise the RX-V6A on price-value and reliability, and **most report it's a strong, dependable performer that's still going strong years after purchase**. Sound quality draws direct praise in head-to-head comparisons with other brands, and value-focused buyers point out that the same AVR sells rebranded (as Costco's TSR-700) for hundreds less than the Yamaha-branded version. HDMI connectivity is the recurring point of tension: several owners flag that the RX-V6A's HDMI ports cap out at 24Gbps versus the 40/48Gbps found on some competitors, a real limitation for 4K@120Hz high-refresh gaming setups. Build quality gripes surface occasionally, but other owners in the same threads describe them as minor nitpicking rather than substantive defects. **Buyers prioritizing music/movie playback, multi-room audio, and long-term reliability should feel confident here, while serious 4K@120Hz gamers chasing full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 features should verify their specific needs or look elsewhere.**
