I just got one of these from Richer sounds too. ( Yamaha RXV 679 in titanium finish.)
The speaker posts are horrible, i can't get my bannana plugs to go in at all, the holes are far too small.
Can any one tell me if there are smaller types that fit?
Amp though is great, i like the auto speaker setup using the supplied microphone, really sounds all around the room now much more so than my old Yamaha pro logic A970 that must be at least 20 years old was used everyday and still going strong, never went wrong. Hope the new one is as reliable.

Main amp is an Electrocompaniat eci2 Sony qs930 cd, Sony tuner,Stan dac,modified x10d with little pinkie se and of course Quad esl57s fully serviced with much better legs and widgets. Sometimes swap to my kef reference 3s or Rogers pro9 Tls.
