Yamaha are adding two new receivers to their current line up.
The 7.2 channel RXV667 supports the usual HD audio formats, uses Yamaha’s own YPAO room equalisation and Scene feature, with 1080p upscaling. It also uses Yamaha’s DSP 3D mode, which with front effect speakers produces a much larger soundstage than normal AV receivers. Six HDMI inputs (useable when in standby) should cover enough sources for most people, and with full 7.2 pre-outputs and 7.1 input, it will also incorporate upgrading by adding a multi channel power amplifier, or adding sources with their own internal decoding.
The RXV667 retails for £449.
The RXV767 adds a second HDMi output in order to run two displays. There is also an audio input assign capability for HDMI and component inputs for added versatility.
The RXV767 retails for £599
The new YDS12 iPod dock can be added to take full advantage of iPods, and the YID-W10 adds wireless transfer of music from an iPod. Audio streaming is possible via the YBA10 wireless audio receiver. All of these can be used with the above AV receivers.
Yamaha are also introducing a new Bluray player, the BDS667. Fully compatible with BD Live and Bonus View, the player will also play Jpeg HD, WMV, MP3, DivX HD, and is fully DNLA Client compliant. The player is a full1080p/24Hz output, and it’s HDMI output is full Deep Colour compatible. The player has a front mounted USB port for video/audio playback of external memory devices.
The BDS667 retails for £299

CYRUS 8XP AMPLIFER
From: £1249.00
Click here to buy from Hifix or to find out more...
The standard Cyrus 8 XP integrated amplifier is very well specified with a generous power output, six analogue inputs, a zone two output so you can play any source in another part of your home, Bi-wireable speaker terminals, headphone output with a good quality amplifier, Pre-amplifier output (for bi-amping), large clear high quality LCD screen, and a sophisticated control system with system remote control are all provided. Input sensitivity matching is also included
The XP platform is designed so that we can invest strongly one main project and derive several versions that benefit from this larger investment. The Cyrus 8 XP integrated amplifier benefited from the core engineering invested to design the new Pre XP model. We then incorporate a new version of our highly dynamic 2 x 70 watt power amplifier plus a new twin transformer power supply to take advantage of new components that have recently become available. The twin transformers feed two separate power supply stages each with further sub regulation. The main 350 VA Toroidal transformer with 5 regulated rails is twinned with a separate toroidal transformer for control systems. The result will surprise customers new to Cyrus as they discover truly high-end performance from a surprisingly compact Cyrus die-cast chassis.
Because of these attributes the Cyrus 8 XP integrated amplifier is able to deliver remarkable performance. 70W into 8 is the conservative rating but the amplifier can deliver over 300 watts for short dynamic bursts of music. The performance is both very subtle yet powerful enough to convincingly replay large scale music such a major symphonic or powerful rock programs. In an age where compressed digital sources are popular, amplifiers capable of this dynamic urge are going to become increasingly important to the quality conscious music fan
Upgrade by adding a Cyrus PSX-R power supply. This is Cyrus' most popular upgrade and can be customer fitted by simply plugging the supplied cable into the socket on the back of the 8 XP. In fact Cyrus has sold more PSX-R's than any other model. It provides a super smooth supply of DC power to the sensitive pre-amplifier audio stages of the Cyrus 8 XP integrated amplifier. The effect is a marked improvement in bass and a better, more solid stereo image.
- High performance pre-amplifier based on the X series DAC XP+ design.
- 6 analogue inputs
- 2 x 70 W power amplifier
- Top quality LCD display and extensive user setup menu system
- Zone two output, multi-source, multi-zone
- PSX-R upgradable
