Glad to hear that you enjoyed the review. I was quite surprised by the RX-V861's performance. My first receiver some years ago was a Yamaha and while it suited my needs I always found it to be a bit hollow sounding and vague. NOT THE CASE with the RX-V861 which is absolutely fantastic. It's a truer sense of the high end then I think even Yamaha realizes. It would be a fantastic purchase at twice the price, however at its current price I find it to be a STEAL. My favorite sub $5K receiver by far.
