    A pretty monster with velvet legs

    A lot of possibilities that require a personal investment, if you want to get the best out of them. Nevertheless, almost everything is in the line and tradition of Yamaha's home cinema products, so easier to use for those who already know them. The Musiccast system, of which the RX-A8 is a powerful master, is very well designed for sound, although it could be better extended for video. In this case, the audio-video synchronisation is not optimal (sound delay).
    As for its audiophile capacities, they are displayed in a spirit of truth, the dynamics are impressive without the result ever being ostentatious. It is regrettable that it is not possible, it seems to me, to integrate the subwoofer, in the excellent "pure direct" mode.
    "pure direct" mode.
    A beautiful product.
