How many stars does the Yamaha RX 596 get?

(Bi-wiring is pointless in a serial circuit; it just serves to double the length of the speaker cable. You can check yours by connecting only one set of speakers to either the A or B posts. If you then select A and B together on the control panel, the speakers will NOT work if A and B connections are in series.)

Which is better a Denon or a Yamaha receiver?

Denon is dead sounding. Sony etc. is bright and not natural as Yamaha. Teac would be my only thought as a competitor to this receiver. So if you want a receiver because you don’t want the hassle of separate integrated and tuner and all the remotes the Yamaha should definitely be on your list.
