Yamaha RX-Z11 Home Theater Receiver

All Yamaha surround receivers offer DSP but the only the units with 7 channels of amplification provide connection for Presence speakers. The amplifiers normally assigned to the surround back channels are used to drive the Presence speakers. Yamaha’s flagship receiver, the RX-Z11, is a 11 channel receiver so it can power the traditional 7 channel speaker system plus two front and two rear presence speakers.

MSRP $5,499
