Advantages: Excellent picture / sound. Amp very good upscaler. Future proof built in. Disadvantages: It is heavy. Amp in short supply
This is one serious bit of equipment. It's flexibility with connections make long term future proof. The sound and picture quality is awesome. If it is used in a room that can't take 7.1 number of speakers , use the unused 2 channels to bi-amp the front left & right speakers.
It has a multi room capability. It is an excellent upscaler. Five HDMI in, two HDMI's out ( two tv's or tv and projecter ). The amp is built like a tank - solid and weighty. The power supplies are over specified which puts the amp under less strain whilst giving better performance. A lot of the top of the range DSP-Z11's design and features have found their way into this amp.
My one moan is that it's in short supply due to it's success and you may have to wait several weeks for delivery - check suppliers stock. ...

Advantages: Powerful, Capable and Brilliant Disadvantages: Expensive and Bulky
kicking out something special and if you crank it up, whether you live in a quiet culdisack, or out in the sticks, you will have the neigh boroughs complaining!! What a sound, when they say vision is only half the experience, they meant it because of the sound this thing kicks out. It?s hard to explain but just imagine being there, whatever your watching, just close your eyes, and it?s like being right there in the action.
The Z9 comes with 2 remotes, one with just enough buttons to make you feel like you're flying a Boeing 747 and the other a handier smaller remote for the menu screen and turning the volume up and down, all you want really :).
The Yamaha only scores a satisfactory on the ease of use as it has just so many functions and so many capabilities it would just be impossible to make this thing simple. With a million ...

Advantages: Lightweight, powerful 200cc two-stroke motor, proven over time Disadvantages: Wheel base and width cause instability in some situations.
The Yamaha Blaster is a legend in its own right. It has been in production for many a year now and has sold in large numbers worldwide. Its success has mainly been down to the large spread of potential buyers that it caters for. Although its main target is the rookie rider, it has sufficient power to thrill most users while providing good value for money and great reliability.
I have had my Blaster now for 7 years and had very few mechanical issues with her. Of course i have had to change tyres and top up fuel and oil levels when needed. I do as a matter of good maintenance, keep the chain and other moving parts oiled and greased, but this level of maintenance is expected on all such machines. I have recently rebuilt the top-end of my blaster engine and was very pleased to see that the condition of most of the internal waer parts was ...
