Review: Yamaha RX-Z11 11.2 Surround Sound Receiver

When it comes to top-shelf stereo receivers, Yamaha's new RX-Z11 sets a high bar for feature-rich high definition amplifiers. Sure, it's got your XM-HD, HD...

More channels than a basic cable package. Plenty of HDMI inputs (five) for all your gear. Pumps out rich sound with detailed separation at low, medium, and traumatic brain injury inducing volumes. Attractive backlit remote with LCD screen. Easy auto...

Excellent price point, assuming you are Oprah. Back panel resembles a migraine headache. Just moving the behemoth might put you in the hospital with a ruptured disc. “Quick Start Guide”? Oh please

Review: Yamaha RX-Z11 A/V Receiver

The RX-Z11 flagship receiver packs a punch via an arsenal of DSP processing, clever power amp assignability, and multi channel/multi zone receiver capabilities.

Ever wonder why some special events seem to happen once every four years? Every four years we get an extra day, we have a presidential election, we have an Olympic game, and, incidentally, Yamaha seems to release a new flagship receiver. I can’t tell...

Yamaha RX-Z11 A/V Receiver

My very first home theater system in the mid-'80s had a Yamaha DSP-1 surround processor at its core. Yes, Yamaha has been in the multichannel business for that long, and yes, I'm that old. That first system was sad in many respects, lacking both a...

If you like to fiddle about, the Yamaha will entertain you for years. It has some of the most advanced audio tweaking available today, but you don't have to tweak it if you don't want to. The RX-Z11 includes your basic food groups, like THX, Pro Logic...

Yamaha's literature claims that the RX-Z11 "embodies the latest in HD audio and video coupled with the ability to get the maximum performance from any kind of source." But flagship performance comes at a steep price—the RX-Z11 checks in at nearly...
