Reviews

Onkyo TX-SR607

If you can overlook its poor analog video conversion, the Onkyo TX-SR607 offers up a ton of HDMI connectivity and excellent sound quality for a mid-range AV receiver.
Sony STRDA5300ES

With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.
Denon AVR-3808

The Denon AVR-3808 A/V receiver is absolutely packed with functionality and sounds great, but you'll need to be an A/V geek to unlock all its potential.
Onkyo TX-SR605

The Onkyo TX-SR605 raises the bar for AV receivers by delivering an amazing number of next-generation audio and video features at an unbeatably low price
Sony STR-DA3200ES

The Sony STR-DA3200ES packs in a lot of features for the money, and sound is top-notch, though the HDMI implementation may be a limiting factor.
Yamaha RX-V661B

The Yamaha RX-V661 is a solid, budget AV receiver with HD switching, but it's a tough sell when models with next-generation HDMI 1.3 features are about to hit the market.
Yamaha RX-V1700

The Yamaha RX-V1700 is a mostly solid AV receiver with an attractive feature package and excellent sound, but you might be able to find a better overall value.
Onkyo TX-SR604

The affordable Onkyo TX-SR604 offers solid sound and an advanced autosetup system, but you'll need to opt for the step-up model if you want more robust HDMI features.
