In many ways, the new Pioneer BDP-51FD is more of a no-frills performance-centric home theater kit than most of its peers in the market.

Reviews

  • Harman Kardon AVR 247

    The Harman Kardon AVR 247 is an authoritative piece of equipment with a smattering of usable features. It's a challenger for best receiver in its price range.

  • 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.

  • Marantz DV6001

    The Marantz DV6001 is one of the best DVD players available at this price -- it boasts both CD and DVD upscaling and comes in an attractively slim package to boot.

  • Marantz SR7001

    Despite the refreshed numbering system, the Marantz is a slightly stodgy entrant into a very crowded marketplace. Its lack of features and high price could cause many to pass it over, and for music lovers this would be a shame.
