If you are looking for the best Yamaha AV receiver, you need to check out their AVENTAGE range.
This series of receivers, preamplifiers, and power amplifiers are designed to sound great, engineered with top-quality components, and designed with performance in mind.
They feature all the latest audio and video technologies that you would expect from a modern AV receiver.
The problem is that Yamaha releases several different AVENTAGE AV receiver models every year.
So, the tricky part can be understanding the differences between them – and what has changed between last year’s and this year’s model.
To help in your search, here is a list of all the recent AVENTAGE receivers, along with the most essential features and the year of release.
To get a better idea of the complete range of Yamaha AV receivers available, take a look at this summary:
- AVENTAGE Series: top-of-the-range models with the latest features and highest quality components and engineering.
- RX-V Series: mid-range with many of the features expected in a modern AV receiver.
- TSR Series: mid-range with high-end audio converters for better audio performance.
- RX-S Series: slim and compact receivers for those with less space.
This page will compare the AVENTAGE series, but you can also check out the guides to the Yamaha RX-V AV receiver series and the Yamaha RX-S and TSR series of receivers.
The models listed below are those released in the USA. You may find that the models around the world may vary slightly, but they will usually be similar.
You will also see the MSRP for each receiver (the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price).
You will often find retailers selling below this price, but it is a helpful guide to the quality of each AV receiver.
For completeness, there are also the AVENTAGE preamplifier and power amplifier models. Just be clear that these aren’t integrated AV receivers and need to be paired together before you can use them.
Don’t forget to look at the AV receiver buying guide to understand a little more about what all the features are for.

At home, he has spent more time than is probably healthy installing, configuring, testing, de-rigging, fixing, tweaking, re-installing again (and sometimes using) various pieces of hi-fi and home cinema equipment.
