Receiver & Amplifier Reviews

Aside from a couple of issues I ran into, I found the Onkyo 5508 to be a fantastic preamp. Audyssey finally might have made a convert out of me with XT32 and two-channel audio, and every feature that I could want was present on it. I certainly would...

Had a chance to test this product in detail in mid march 2012 along with 4 others - speaker setup for testing all the amps was the same ( monitor audio bx2, high quality stereo wires )

Went from having Denon in my HT since 1990 to getting the V571 when my last Denon,2309ci started to show signs of the DTS Master Bomb. Love the Yamaha and glad I switch brands.

Long story short: Buy the RX-A810 (if you can find one), instead of the RX-A820 which skips over HDMI from a PC. See my review of the RX-A820 here for more details, and do not buy it. Try to find an RX-A810 locally and get a much superior receiver. One...

This receiver rocks!!! If I can only buy one receiver in my life will be the RXV871. Yamaha made a master pc. on this one.

This premium A/V receiver belts out sweet sound even for music and comes with a plethora of ports and iPod/iPhone app support.

I agree with the reviewer that this receiver is not recognized by the remote control unit provided by a national cable company. Also, when connected as recommended it knocked out the caller ID that used to be displayed on the TV.

Stopped working after four months. Specifically, I thought that it wasn't working at all, but if you put your ear against the speaker, and listened extremely closely, you could just barely make out that it was playing, but not amplifying. I hadn't used...

This is a great preamp for the money and it provides plenty of power for my turntable.The only problem I have with it is an excessive amount of hum that I can't seem to get rid of.

This is a decent effort by NAD, but it's up against some very tough competition

Purchased this integrated amp after reading a stereophile review. Vanns had a good price pointsave money on sales tax, fast shipping and good communication throughout the order. I have the PM5004 connected to an airport express for wireless audio and...

I bought this item a couple of weeks ago. I was not sure how it would sound, but was hopeful, given all the great reviews here, and out on the web. I was not disappointed. Quite the opposite. This little gem is unbelievable. 22 real watts/channel...

Onkyo has long been known as a feature leader in the receiver department. They certainly are looking to maintain that reputation with the TX-SR608. While the feature-set is a bit different from other new offerings at the same price point, it definitely...

Had this unit one week and it stopped working. Authorized service center said the main board was fried and replaced it. Months later the front controls stopped working, but remote still worked. While dealing with Yamaha over this issue there were...

I bought this amp to use in our home office with a pair of Gale gold monitor speakers and it simply sounds great. Love the fact that there are no tone controls or any other uncessary clutter. Good solid build quality as you can expect from Cambridge...

Good receiver; could use a little more power but sound is good and relatively easy to set up. Instructions could be clearer on how to program other components with the remote.

I have been using an E5 for a little while but as pleased as I was with it, I felt there was some substance missing from the sound. After reading the various reviews here on Amazon I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the E11. I am using it with...

The '3310 is very accomplished but it just lacks the wow factor needed to justify a full five-star rating

Yamaha's RX-V667 is one of the best midrange AV receivers of 2010, with excellent sound quality, a best-in-class user interface, and more connectivity than its competitors, but it may be more AV receiver than you need.

I recently purchased a Monitor Audio Silver Series 5.0 setup consisting of one pair of RX8 as front, RXCenter & RXFX for surrounds. I do not have a sub at this point so I can not comment on the LFE channel performance. I was on a quest to find the best...
