Reviews

  • 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.

  • Yamaha YSP-600

    The Yamaha YSP-600 is a very good solution for people who want a simple system that sounds great, but look elsewhere for style or features.

  • 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.

  • Samsung HT-X715

    The Samsung HT-X715 is very easy to set up and it does make your movies look and sound good. We just didn't care for the music sound quality with flabby sounding bass.

  • Yamaha RX-V3800

    The Yamaha RX-V3800 boasts all the features expected of a top-of-the-line receiver, and while audio performance is exceptional video could use some work.

  • Sony BDPS500B

    The Sony BDPS500B is an excellent sonic performer and will upscale your DVD collection — but it's outshone by cheaper players for Blu-ray playback.
