Does anyone have experience with this or other models in the Aventage lineup and would you recommend it?

I’ve narrowed my search down to either this or the Denon AVR-X4800H. My understanding is that the Denon is the better choice for A/V surround while the Yamaha is better for music.

My main use would be music and I would be pairing either model with a power amp.

I have the RX-A710.    That's the 2nd iteration and it's of course old.  It was the "bottom of the line" at the time.  Anyway, I like it.  It's still working after all this time (12+ yrs?). If I didn't get a good deal on it, then I would have bought the 810, which had a little more power and pre outs.  My speakers are efficient, so the 710 does the job.

I saw that you took this to GD.  Try the forums at audioholics.com.  You could also go to avsforum.com, but there's a bit more chaff there.

Thanks! I will check out both.

It will probably be frowned upon but I ended up buying an Onkyo. Bought the flagship TX-RZ70 on sale for $1,699.99. Better specs but not the Yamaha name.
