Reviews

HP 2309m

At a price of AU$649, the 2309m is a decent buy. While it performs well, the blacks aren't as deep as we'd like, and we'd be more tempted to find something with a matte screen to cut down on reflections.
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.

The Denon AVR-1909 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.
Toshiba XD-E500

Toshiba's XD-E500 provides a simple way to make humble DVDs look a bit better, but don't be fooled into thinking that it'll magically turn them into Blu-Ray discs.

The Sony STRDA5400ES is a 7.1 channel receiver which features six HDMI inputs and decodes all of the latest HD audio standards.
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.
HP LP2480zx

HP's LP2480zx is a sight to behold. Now if only we had a spare AU$4,200 kicking around...
