I was checking out Yamaha's new RX-V2400 receiver, and noticed an interesting thing. It is the first Yamaha product receiver I have seen to include THX Select certification. It lists at $999, has all the latest processing modes(as well as Yamaha's infamous DSP abilities), has NO DVI connectivity but DOES upconvert all other video to component, and is 7.1 rated at 120 watts channel. The last item is what I found interesting: it is THX Select, rated at 120w/ch., but with all channels driven it was rated as 60w/ch. @ 1khz! The old 1050 was rated as 65w/ch.-3 channels driven, and the 1070 is going to be 65w all channels driven with no THX badge(unless Outlaw is not telling us). I also noted that the Yammy uses (2) 15,000Uf Cap's for a total of 30,000Uf of capacitance, while the old 1050 uses (4) 10,000Uf Cap's totaling 40,000Uf capacitance. I'm not electrically "literate" but I think that would give the Outlaw a slight edge in dynamics, right or wrong? I guess what I'm getting at is that the new 1070 will be one hell of a value!!
