Reviews

Denon AVR-1910

The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured mid-range AV receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality.
Pioneer VSX-1019AH

The Pioneer VSX-1019AH delivers an excellent feature set and outstanding sound quality for its price, making it our top mid-range A/V receiver pick so far.
Yamaha Air Xtreme YAS-71

The Yamaha Air Surround Xtreme sets a new standard for soundbars, it features convincing pseudo-surround and can also carry a tune.
Yamaha RX-V665

Yamaha's RX-V665 includes more features than its predecessor, but it doesn't sound as good, has poor video upconversion quality, and doesn't let you assign digital-audio inputs.
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.
Yamaha YHT-492AU

Yamaha presents the YHT-492AU, a complete home theatre system in one big box, which is a fine choice if you're after no-fuss home theatre shopping.
Yamaha RX-V663

The Yamaha RX-V663 sounds great, but it's tough to recommend with its paltry HDMI connectivity, poor upconversion quality, and other design quirks.
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.
