I decided to give this Yamaha RX-A4A receiver a whirl and borrowed through our lending program. I have a Yamaha RXA-1010 that's 13 years old and still kickin', and my first stereo receiver was a Yamaha. So yeah, I'm a fan.

Lots of connectivity, streaming built-in, Yamaha natural sound

I'm not sure about the front display readability from a distance. HDMI-CEC volume was tricky using another device's remote
Powerful, state of the art AVR: makes my RP 280f's, RP-450C and R-112SW sound fantastic. I had zero issues with setup or updates. I do get an occasional flicker on screen but I imagine that will be cleaned up with the next update. I'm not into speakers surrounding the room, a simple 5.1 is fine.

High quality, clean digital sound. Simple to setup and this unit has the ability to update for the future

ONLY 7.1, couldn't at least be 9.1 and with XLR
This is a terrific receiver. Along with MusicCast and built-in Bluetooth, it has worked flawlessly to stream music from my Tidal account, as well as Amazon Music. I use Bluetooth more often as this allows me full access to Tidal and Amazon Music accounts.

Might not be the best option for low-efficiency speakers.
The Aventage A2A and the A4A so far are the most accessible AV receivers for blind and low vision users.They feature Music Cast for iPhone based control. They also have a browser based installer setup interface that works well with screen reader software.

IOS application, good remote keypad layout, fantastic audio, good mix of inputs.
-
-
Plastic case, touch controls, usual 45 degree angled feed-points on speaker terminals, accessibility fixes badly needed on IOS Music Cast application.
Absolutely love this receiver, I upgraded from a Yamaha RX V677 and the difference is amazing in power and clarity. I Bi-amp my front speakers as I did with my previous model but the difference in clarity is worth the upgrade.

I upgraded to the RX-A4A because I needed something more versatile and capable of handling all my speakers. I got it with this Receiver. Easy to use and nice on-line manual. Nice format. My previous Receiver was also a Yamaha and knew they were high quality. Love the YPAO that comes with it.

See my review.

My only issue, and this deals with most electronic equipment made today, is the small white print on the front face of the unit which at times is difficult to see. Minor issue.
Kind of difficult setting up, but once you get there it works really well.
Replaced my 1080 with the RX-A4A. Setup was a breeze! Proformence is more then great for the price.
Great home theater receiver. Solid built, sounds amazing, what else can you ask for?

Sound, Features

A little difficult to setup, at least for me.
The RX-A4A was quite a step up from our previous tuner-amp of about ten years of age. Like with any other high-end receiver, the RX-A4A upgrading user undergoes an education in the wild wild west of the entertainment industry's unnecessarily complex, competing and incompatible formats.
