Yamaha's RX-V483 receiver offers excellent sound for the money

The Yamaha RX-V483 Home Theater Receiver looks like you'd expect any AV device to look like, black metal with a plastic front. It has a ton of buttons, twenty in total, which makes the device look cluttered, and there were too many to know which were the most important. We were also disappointed with how close we had to get to the buttons to read the labels, and how useless that made them. The screw-in speaker terminals made it easy to wire the speakers into place, and it would have been even easier if we had used banana clips.
