"Do you prefer Yamaha or Onkyo?"
Sorry I can't answer that really. My second-hand Onkyo's LFE out is dumb! I take sub signal from main R pre-out and use the sub-amp's variable xo. T18s are in a closed box and I drive them Large. Not optimal but tolerable... strange lookin step-response! The set is used only occasionally and for fun, my no1 set is the living room system with AINOgradients as mains.

However I prefer my Yamaha over my Onkyo, but that is just a twink. Yammy is 10 years old, Onkyo perhaps 7 but with AudysseyII - which I don't like and don't use. I don't have high priority and demands for HT sound.

Hi everybody,

Maybe it's a little off topic, but could someone recommend references of yamaha AV receivers with pre-out that it is possible to buy in second hand, i'd like to try 5.1

I'm not sure but usually RX-V 6xx and above have pre-outs, and 6ch input too. Not sure about the models of this decade! I have RX-V 630

Check your figure numbers under /technology - fairly sure something's amiss.

I've got an HTR-5960 with 7.1 I/O sitting here. It's never given me any problems. No HDMI and no DTS-HD / TrueHD is the only reason it's currently sitting in my garage.

I'd offer to sell it if I didn't think shipping would double what I'd ask for it.

There is a dearth of affordable receivers with pre-outs these days - not surprising because the manufacturers are under pressure to save every penny. However, if you are a DIY handy I think you could add your own pre-outs but fitting some RCA connectors into the case and wiring them back to the inputs of the internal power amplifiers.
