The Bottom Line:
There's absolutely nothing bad to say about this amp. The surround is perfect, the environments are great, and there are enough inputs to satisfy the most hardcore audio/videophiles.
I never bothered to look at these amps at Circuit City because they cost quite a bit more than I wanted to spend. I had initially intended to purchase the Yamaha YHT-300, but found the included 5540 amp to be lacking in features I needed. I had to up my price range a bit, and had intended to go for the Yamaha 5560 or 5590.
When I started to look around online, I found the RV-8020V to be a much better price than Yamaha 5560, and it seemed to have everything I wanted. But when I saw the RV-8010V on Christmas Special at E-Tronics (with free shipping!), I decided to investigate a bit more --- only to find that the 8010 and 8020 are the same, with some minor cosmetic changes. At that point, I couldn't pass on the deal.
I was initially struck by the weight of the unit. It's pretty heavy, compared to the Yamaha or Sony amps I'd been looking at. Upon opening the box, I was struck by the number of inputs --- there's one for nearly *everything*. It's one of the few that actually includes a Phono input.
I quickly plugged it up (well, as quickly as you can when your speakers don't have banana clips) to try it out ... and I was totally blown away.
There is absolutely no video degradation between components, which is more than I can say for the recent Sony units, or even the HK it was replacing (I needed component video).
The sound quality is superb, but if you find it a bit crisp, the Digital EQ works brilliantly.
To try it out, I tossed Jurassic Park into the DVD player, and skipped up to the T-Rex scene ...
... it shook the place.
