Yamaha RX-A3070 Product Preview

Equipped with the latest audio and video formats, the Aventage RX-A3070 is the new top-of-the-line receiver from Yamaha.

The 9.2 channel receiver features DTS-X and Dolby Atmos along with full 4K Ultra HD pass-through. Though the receiver on its own only powers 9 full channels, it still allows for full use of 11 independent channels with the use of an external amplifier.

The RX-A3070 was designed to take advantage of home networking as well. The smartphone/tablet app allows for complete control of the system. Also, many of the major music services are supported, including Spotify, Pandora, Napster, and SiriusXM to name a few.

As with previous models, DLNA networking support is also present which will allow you to make use of your networked music library. Bluetooth and Airplay are also included which makes it extremely easy to stream media directly from your mobile device.

Attention to details is a key component of a nice high-end Yamaha product. Aluminum front panel, rigidly constructed frame, even the feet design were carefully thought out to maximize performance in every way possible.

With a full slew of features, hardware and software components, and an ease of use that should be second to none, I look forward to sharing my experience with this product!

Gabe Lowe is a Data Storage Professional residing in Durham, NC. Upon first getting a taste of surround sound in the late 1980's, Gabriel was hooked. He pieced together his first system shortly thereafter with hand-me-down speakers, a 20" CRT TV, and a HiFi VCR, and has had a passion for gear ever since. Using various internet and print resources, along with the help of a friend, he built his first dedicated custom home theater in 2003. Apart from home theater, Gabriel also loves spending time with his wife and 2 children, watching and playing sports, and staying up to date on the latest trends in technology.
