Our take on the Yamaha RX-V6A 7.2-channel AV Receiver with 8K HDMI and MusicCast

The RX-V6A is Yamaha's midrange 7.2-channel AV receiver, rated at 100W per channel into 8 ohms. It stands out for seven HDMI inputs with 8K/60 and 4K/120 support on the main input, plus MusicCast streaming, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and voice control. YPAO room correction and Dolby Atmos with height virtualization make it a strong fit for a first serious home theater or a mixed movie and music setup. Against rivals like the Denon AVR-S970H and Onkyo TX-NR6100 it offers more HDMI inputs and Yamaha's reliable app ecosystem, but it has only one 8K-capable input and no front HDMI.
