the Yamaha rxv 483 is a mid-range receiver which offers excellent sound quality and a decent selection of features for the money it sounds better than the equivalent down on a VRS 730 for example but the trade-off is it doesn't have as many features if you want Dolby Atmos or even a host of HDMI ports the amaha is not for you otherwise this receiver is everything you'd expect from the company it offers five channels of amplification at 80 watts a channel and it includes Yamahas music path a multi-room system used for streaming music from your phone or Pandora / wife it also offers Bluetooth in and out the only thing this doesn't have is a lot of HDMI inputs only ball not great if you have a lot of different sources most competitors offer six or more but in its defense at least these ports are compatible with 4k and the numerous flavors of HDR including Dolby vision and hig sound quality is where the Yamaha R is at and the rxv 483 has a very lively sound that makes movie soundtracks exciting we tried it with a number of different speakers both bright and hard to drive and warm and it did a good job with them all the amaha also makes music a lot more involving than the 10 on competition while paying even more for a Sony ST RDM 1080 receiver will rip even further benefits this Yamaha is one of the best options for under 500 us if you do favour performance over features the rxv 483 is a very good option for home cinema fans on a budget
