Onkyo TX-NR906

It's not often that we fall in love with a piece of equipment, but the Onkyo TX-NR906 receiver is the answer to our technological prayers.

Harman Kardon AVR 355

Tailored towards the casual listener rather than Harman Kardon's usual hi-fi customers, the AVR 355 is solid, with great features, but somehow lacking.

Reviews

Yamaha YSP-3000

If you can look past its limited video capabilities, the Yamaha YSP-3000 is an otherwise recommendable single-speaker solution for home theater buyers who don't want a traditional 5.1 channel surround system.
Samsung BD-P1500

The Samsung BD-P1500 is a great player to finally take the HD plunge with. The price is right, it looks and sounds great with BD and will also make the most of your DVDs and CDs.
Sony DAV-F500

If you own a Bravia and movies are your main criteria, the Sony DAV-F500 makes a lot of sense. Its video upscaling produces quality images, but music lovers will be disappointed.
Onkyo LS-V501

The Onkyo LS-V501 is a 2.1 home theatre in a box which will upscale your DVDs to 1080i and supports a plethora of audio and video formats.
Sony DAV-IS10

The Sony DAV-IS10 is a likeable system with incredibly tiny speakers but it stops quite short of a hearty recommendation.
Sony STRDA5200ES

With its groundbreaking graphical user interface, three HDMI inputs, and excellent sound, the Sony STR-DA5200ES is outstanding and innovative A/V receiver, with only a handful of frustrations -- including some video upconversion issues -- spoiling the party.
Optoma MovieTime DV10

A portable all-in-one DVD player and projector with excellent image quality.
Yamaha RX-N600

Digital music fans will find a lot to like about the Yamaha RX-N600, but its dearth of HDMI options will frustrate HDTV owners.
