New Receiver
After ten years with my old Kenwood VR-206 home theatre receiver, I’ve finally decided to upgrade. The winner is, the Yamaha HTR-6160. I’ve always found Yamaha receivers to have a natural sound, and this one supports the newer standards including Dolby True-HD and DTS-HD Master, both of which are commonly found on the Blu-Ray movies I watch so often.
I looked at it locally and it was available for anywhere between CDN$500 and $650. However, after a recommendation from my friend Matt, I ended up purchasing it from Big Buy City for a savings of about two hundred and fifty bucks, even after shipping and customs. I wonder if prices will ever catch up with exchange rates.
