The Yamaha RX-V671 has excellent sound quality and six HDMI inputs, including a handy front-panel input. It has a solid collection of built-in streaming-music apps including Pandora, Rhapsody, and Sirius XM. And while the user interface isn't great compar
There's no built-in AirPlay support. Also, the similar Onkyo TX-NR609 costs about $100 less, although it doesn't sound quite as good. No Wi-Fi dongle is available, either, although there are plenty of solid workarounds
The Yamaha RX-V671 sounds excellent and supports several high-quality streaming-music services, but it lacks built-in AirPlay support.
Clearly the Yamaha Aventage RX-A3010 is a better, more powerful and more versatile AV receiver than the Yamaha RX-V671. Which it ought to be, since it costs nearly two-and-a-half times as much.But with sensibly-chosen loudspeakers, the RX-V671 offers exce...

Thrilling, powerful and polished sound, Six HDMI inputs, Friendly onscreen displays
Cluttered remote, No multichannel analogue inputs or pre-outs, No Wi-Fi or AirPlay support
The RX-V671 is a remarkably good receiver that poses a real threat to our current champion, the similarly-priced Onkyo TX-NR609. The Yamaha's skills with a Blu-ray soundtrack are top-drawer, plus the friendly, logical user interface makes it a breeze to o...
Abstract: Positiv stechen sofort die vielen Klangregler ins Auge, mit denen sich der Receiver an die eigenen Bedürfnisse anpassen lässt. Dazu zählt ein halbparametrischer Sieben-Band-Equalizer, der auch den Bassbereich beeinflusst. Gleich vier Bänder lassen sich in...
Abstract: Die etwas spiegelige Kunststoff-Front des neuen kleinen Yamaha RX V 671 für 550 Euro ringt dem HiFi-Freak zunächst nur ein Naja ab. Ebenso die leicht schlanken Lautsprecher-Klemmen auf der Rückseite. Dann stellt der Betrachter aber mit Genugtuung fest...
