I'm not familiar with the Yamaha. I have been using Pioneer Elite receivers for my home theater set up since I switched from separateamps and processors many years ago. Never had a problem with any of them. Some of the old units I gave to family members are still going strong.

Looking at the Yamaha site 'compare' it appears that there is almost no difference between the units except MHL. Interestingly the MSRP is the same so I can't explain why the $150 difference in price.

I don't have the Onkyo 7030 but I ever owned an old Onkyo which just died after > 10 years. Personally I think Onkyo is better in details but I choose Yamaha because the convenience of USB port.

I'd start by just plugging right into your receiver and see how you like the sound. some receivers have decent headphone amps, others have horrid ones. I don't know your model, but my Yamaha has the horrid type unfortunately. if you find you don't like the sound, be it too muffled, thin, or lifeless, then add an amp. there are many you can add. I run mine on a schiit vali and I love the pairing. the schiit magni is a good amp as well, more versatile than the vali. there is the jds labs o2 amp, and many many more. you'll need a line out from your receiver though. I was shocked to learn mine did not have any line level outs, so I had to run an optical out to an optical dac, and connect my headphone amp to the dac.

I don't have experience with the Yamaha RXA 3010, therefore I can not make an assessment.However, I did compare it with the Integra series of processors in my previous evaluation.

If you go out to the Yamaha US website, they do a side by side comparison of the two. Try this link: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx/?selected=372793_372783_&mode;=compare

I recently bought Onkyo 5300 and today noticed that S6300 has come down in price. I think spending little extra to acquire HT-S6300 is well worth it. I absolutely love Ht-5300 but the speakers are huge! I like sleeker look of Ht-s6300, plus up conversion, aux mic features are worth spending little extra money. But if you don't care about that, HT-S5300 is very good system with excellent sound. Haven't checked out Yamaha, so can't comment on it.

Hey Balaji did you get an answer I'm shopping the same recievers and I'm stuck between the two I hear the onkyo runs super hot maybe the 707 is more comparable, anyway I'm leaning towards the denon 1910 Jeff Helmlinger

The r type speakers from Alpine are the better of the two. I am running 4 7in Rs both component and coaxel and 2 type s in the rear as space does not permit. I am very happy with this set up

I have a 5.1 setup, I have 2 micca for my rears, and a Yamaha rx v475 pushing them, I've had them for a couple months, and they sound great, hope this helps!

thanks for the info. Do you think the sound quality is as good on the 325 as the 350? Obviously the size of the unit is bigger on the 325 but I was wondering if this is the only difference?

Sorry, can't help you. But having difficulties doesn't surprise me. First the iPod connection stop working, then all the hdmi connections wouldn't work, and then 1 speaker started to cut out, and finally the amp started turning off after 5 minutes. All of this happened in 18 months. Got a $200 5.1 Yamaha now. Works great and sounds better than the Pioneer! Good luck.

What I'd seriously do is find one in the flesh and look carefully at the back. Now I bought one of them and wasn't too keen about it so I got one from another party for my shop with an equalizer For the house I looked and got a pioneer vex 51 series because its one of he last ones with stereo jacks and maybe at the older pioneer Yamaha Sony receivers and get a Pyle pro eq like I did outstanding sound Hope this helps so let me know.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the unit and have owned it for about a week now. Appears to be a very good receiver.

I bought my TX-SR806 on 03/16/09 for 639.00. I was watching prices for awhile and finally dropped the hammer. It seems I finally made a good decision. I am now reading the manual. That is always fun. I ran the Audyssey set up and received no error messages, so I suppose it was done correctly. I am not really happy with the bass of my system. I bought a Polk RM95 5 pack and the PSW111 subwoofer. Still studying the Polk manual on subwoofer hook up. Charles

The Pioneer Elite and Pioneer receivers are rock solid. I have a Pioneer receiver that's 21 or 22 years old and still works great. Though it's now in my office for music only, it still preforms great. I tried switching to an Onkyo 875 about 5 years ago, and did not care for it. Too bright. Pioneer receivers, both Elite and non Elite have a nice warm sound.

I had a Peachtree 125 with the Kef Ls50 and got rid of it. While it is a good amp,the hiss coming from it (Class D amps are notorious for this) was unacceptable to me . Not the best resolution but still a good amp. I went to a Creek Evolution A50 with xlr inputs .It is more detailed ,better at imaging but it does not have the warmth of the Peachtree. Ive only played the Creek for 4-5 hours though. Still ,I think it is a better amp then the Peachtree.
