150 Watt Portable Guitar Amp

This is a amp for a bass guitar. I used it for my Brownsville bass and then tried it for my girlfriend's fender guitar, it would not push the sound. Perfect for the amplified sound I wanted, and I am very pleased with this product. I hope anyone...

Kenwood USA VR-8050

Great AVR unit. I have been using over two years now, no problems and fantastic theater sound in 6.1 mode. A little tedious to program, but worth the effort. My third Kenwood over the past 14 years.

Audiovox VA100

This device requires a 12 VDC power source to run and does not come equipped with a working one! It is packaged with a cable with one end that fits into the device and the other end is open wire! I looked and looked on this site and I cannot find ONE...

Onkyo TX NR900

I've owned one of these receivers for years. It works well until you try to upgrade the firmware. Obviously Onkyo is not used to this kind of thing. It failed and the only fix it to take it to a dealer. So sure, it looks good but forget about Onkyo...

ND-S1 B

I have had two of these now and both did not work with my 2nd gen Ipod touch. There seems to be some sort of clocking/sync issue. Superfi in Nottingham have been excellent in helping to find out what is wrong but I would say there is some sort of...

Sherwood Newcastle R-865

By that standard, the R-865 is the heavyweight in our foursome. At 49.4 pounds, it weighs a good 8.4 pounds more than the runner-up, a margin large enough to be significant. The others fall into a fairly uniform range between 37.5 and 41 pounds. In...

Kenwood VR-507 Surround Sound Receiver

I purchased this audio-video receiver as part of a home-theater set which included 5 speakers and a subwoofer. After reading many reviews I saw that it was one of the highest rated systems, as well as being readily available at many electronics stores....

JVC RX 558

An absolute out-of-date dog. As a JVC fan I bought one of these for a "great price." After cutting a hole in my entertainment center, and spending 11 hours trying to hook my DVD player up (2 trips to the stores and tech support calls to JVC and...

CAMBRIDGE 640R

This pairing rocked in it's original guise, and now they're both even better, the amp especially. As a team I have no idea what you might prefer in their price bracket - they just seem ridiculously competent.

Sherwood RD-7405 7.1-Channel 70-Watt Dual-Zone A/V Receiver

Sherwood R-904N

Sherwood certainly has gotten the form-factor right with the R-904n NetBoxx. While the lights might be a little overdone, the aesthetics and size seem to be on point. The receiver functions all seem there with Dolby Volume, used to keep the volume...

SONY 5.1-Channel Home Theater A/V Receiver STR-DH500

Not what I would expect from Sony. HDMI without sound is absurd. This, by the way, is not mentioned in the manual, and had to be confirmed with Sony tech support.

Onkyo Net-Tune NC-500

Onkyo ceased providing Internet Radio through their Net-Tune products some time ago, but still advertise that it works (which it does not). MP3 content through network is working great, but no internet radio.
