I own the 2092 which is pretty much the same minus DTS.This unit has performed fantastic since the day I bought it which was back in 1997.I use an outboard amp which is the Sherbourn 5/1500 but it really does not need an external amp to drive speakers in moderate sized rooms.I am hooked on the front effects for movies.It totally opens up the soundstage.For the guy who posted below me.MUST BE NICE GETTING THAT PRONTO.Just kidding,I have been drooling over that since it came out.I can not think of any other receiver that can match this for movies.

I MUST DISAGREED WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT THE 2092 IS SIMILAR TO THE 2095 FOR INSTANCE THE 2095 HAS MORE DSP AND THE AMP OF THE 2095 ALMOST SIMILAR TO THE DSPA1 AND THE LOOK IS MORE APEALING BOTTON LINE THE 2092 IS THAT AND THE 2095 IS THE 2095 THE ONLY SIMILARITY BETWEEN BOTH UNITS IS THAT BOTH HAVE YAMAHA QUALITY BUILT IN TO THEM .

Is it just me or does the guy who posted below me need to work on his grammer.The 2092 IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2095.You gain a few extra DSP modes and DTS.OHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYY.The amp section has stayed the same.With both the 2092 and the 2095 you still can`t calibrate the mains which SUCKS.The DSP-A1 you can plus the DSP-A1 will cook dinner for you to.

I just bought the Yamaha 2095. I know this has 2 "front effects speakers" but Can anybody suggest the ideal height to hang my 2 B&W 601s? Also for the rears I will use B&W DS6. What about the height for the rears?
My room is 9.5 feet in height.

My question before I purchase this fantastic receiver is: I currently have custom made front speakers that are rated at 6 ohms. Is this going to be a problem with impedance matching of the 2095 front speaker output? I understand that you can switch between 8 and 4 ohms on the back of the receiver.

The Yamaha 2095 is the best out there for the money.. If you are comparing it to the 995 go with the 2095.. It has more inputs and outputs, multi source capability, and the extra 2 channels for the front effects.. Great unit.. If you are looking for the best price on the 2095 check out

Jerry is a pleasure to work with He put a lot of effort to make sure I felt comfortable with my purchase and gave me a great deal on top of it..

Hi All!
Can you tell me where to get this Yamaha 2095 at the
good price through mail/internet order?

thanks.

I have read the comments from two individuals about the performance issues on the RX-V2095 in relation to A/D, D/A converters. Most all DVD players currently have 24 bit digital audio format. With the RX-V2095 receiver having 20 bit converters the outcome of the audio to a listeners ears is completely negligible. The receiver having a slower bit processing rate of only 4 bits in the digital stream still has such a high oversample rate that you cannot detect any varations in the converters. If you can, then I would like to meet that person, with the best hearing of all the living creatures of the world.
For the comment on the IEEE1394, that looks like the format of the future but don't hold your breath. Just like the push in the past for digital FM radio. The FCC said that by the year 2016 TV signals will all be digital. But there is a clause that if HDTV is slow to take off that the time frame will be pushed out. Even 5 years down the road if HDTV is down to $2500.00 dollars I am still going to wait before I pay that much for a TV. The picture quality at 1080i resolution is really good but not for that price.

I tried to find the ES 9000 amp/receiver on Sony's web product search engine and could not find it. I did find the ES power amp TA-N9000ES but did not state an RS-232 port in the specification section. I have a question in that why would I buy such a amp/receiver that has software upgrades and pay periodically for the proprietary software. There is no known software upgrade for DTS or other prologic formats. You would have to upgrade the amp/receivers hardware, very cost prohibitive. I see no real advantages in it.

Overall in my opinion you would not go wrong in buying the RX-V2095 for the present and long term future. The 6 channel inputs would handle future formats
with add on equipment.

The future is unknown as always but you have to take some risk or you have nothing. Its just like buying a computer only to walk out of the store and it just became obsolete like any other technology. In the case of the RX-V2095 it should be very useful 20 years from now.

The use of common sense is very powerful.

Thanks

I was so excited when I finally brought home my RX-V2095 and set it all up. I must say, I was a little disappointed with the sound. I decided to give it two weeks to 'break-in' and am still disappointed. Although the DD steering was great, the unit is missing a high frequency eq circiut. Most DVD's are too bright. In audio it was worse, the sound was brittle and edgy, lacking in bass weight. Granted all this is probably in the norm for a Japanese receiver...and as receivers go I must admit this is one of the best. We are, however, rating SOUND QUALITY here and not merely comparing equipment or diferent classes of equipment. I was used to listening to separates before I decided to go the receiver route. I don't consider myself an audiophile and do not spend hugh amounts of money on equipment. However, I am now a firm believer that even lower end separates will produce better sound that 'high-end' receivers. I will be getting rid of this unit and will purchase a preamp/processor & amp combo. Those of you who have given this unit 5 stars should at least audition separates and see what 7 star sound is like.

I've compared this unit with numerous other brands. I've done numerous A-B listening tests in stores. It is an outstanding product and an outstanding value. I am saying this even without deciding to buy it. I prefer it over equivalent products from Rotel, Harmon Kardon, NAD, Denon, Sherwood, and Pioneer Elite. The Rotel and Harmon Kardon quality control is junk, but the others are all good products. Still I prefer the sound, the features, and the value of the Yamaha. However, I would rate more highly the sound of the Nakamichi AV10 or a Creek integrated or an Arcam integrated.
There are a number of reptitious comments from Teddy below and Buzz below. They are one and the same person, as evidenced by their identical ID addresses. This person is mentally ill and in desperate need of a life. He loves Denon and hates Yamaha and is conducting a campaign to lower the average no. of stars awarded to all Yamaha products with one exception, the DSP A1. He writes multiple letters in for each Yamaha product, usually giving it a 1 star rating. He has even written me a personal letter to my email address stating what he has done to my mother, my sister, etc. etc. Typical third grade stuff.
