Pros & Cons

Yamaha RX-V685BL

VS

Pros

    • Great sound, great options within the setup to get the exact sound you want on any input or function.
    • Settings can be saved, so not have to be changed each time the unit powers up or when changing scenes/inputs.
    • It supports all global streaming services.
    • Setup is pretty simple.

Cons

    • If you are a free Spotify member, the only way you can listen to Spotify is via "Bluetooth" input connection.
    • The price is more elevated.

Onkyo TX-NR626

VS

Pros

    • I can use Pandora off the internet and play my lists of music whenever I want.
    • Love the Bluetooth where I can play whatever audio I want that's on my iPhone on my receiver.
    • The analog upscalability is a pleasure, so my regular DVD and VHS get played out my HDMI port on my receiver.

Cons

    • I've found it very difficult to listen to one device while watching another.
    • There's an HDMI "warm-up" period when you first turn on the receiver that lasts 10-15 seconds. This can be a bit irritating.
