New models from Yamaha begin to arrive

It has been a long wait, but it has been worth it. The new Yamaha ‘10’ series of AV receivers have begun to arrive — in fact we now have all models in-store with the exception of the RA-A6a, which is due within weeks. In his ‘From The Desk of Len’ on page 4,

Len spoke of ongoing product delays — to put that into perspective, initial orders for the Yamaha RA-A6a were placed ‘way back in May 2020, with expectations that the stock would arrive within weeks.

This new series includes a new model positioned above the RX-A3080, which was the pinnacle of their previous range.

The Yamaha RX-A8a is a 11.2-channel power-house of a receiver that is rated with a power output of 150 watts per channel and is packed with all the technologies necessary (and then plus some!) to set-up a first-rate home theatre system. $6,299

Yamaha have also taken this opportunity to extend the warranty on their AV receivers. By registering on-line you now get an additional 12 months warranty on the RX-A2a, RX-A4a and RX-A6a, taking their warranty period to a total to 5 years, plus Yamaha has added an additional 5 years warranty to the

RX-A8a, resulting in an impressive 10 year warranty for this model.

In the meantime we had been buying up stock of the existing models to tide us over until this new series arrived and now that it finally has, we need to on-sell what is left of that stock. We have two models available that we are offering at excellent prices:
