Yamaha's site doesn't have a very good compare feature, so what is the difference between these two? Also, where do you think the cheapest place to get one would be (online or retail)? Thanks

That's correct. I have a RX-V595a which is the same as the HTR-5150. The RX-V series can only be sold in local retail whereas the HTR series can be sold online as well.

Does anyone know how these compare to the 795A and 1105? I haven't found any information regarding why the 795A is about $100 more than the 596. The 1105 is on sale everywhere, but I don't know much about it.

THANKS!
