Reviews

  • Pioneer HTZLX61

    Pioneer's cute HTZLX61 home theatre system lacks Blu-ray playback, but if you prefer to play DVDs and CDs through your system, then it's well worth considering.

  • Panasonic SA-BX500

    The Panasonic SA-BX500 sounds OK but is too hard to recommend because of too many limitations for its asking price. The wireless surround pack works well, but just adds expense to an under-featured receiver.

  • 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.

  • Denon DHT-FS3

    While it's a bit lean on features, Denon's compact DHT-FS3 home theatre system delivers big, room-filling sound.

  • Onkyo TX-SR606

    The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.

  • 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.

  • Marantz ES7001

    The Marantz ES7001 is a compact, virtual-surround system which boasts HDMI connectivity but is costlier than other solutions with more features.

  • Philips SoundBar HTS8100

    The Philips SoundBar HTS8100 is good value for money, and able to deliver powerful movie soundtracks and excellent video quality via the HDMI output.
