Receiver & Amplifier Reviews

Bought for a client and it works and still works perfectly. No problems at all. Setup was easy and painless. The customer has no trouble running it either and they never call me so that's a serious plus right there. Worth the money.

I bought this receiver specifically for watching German TV from the UK. It was very simple to set up, though some of the more detailed functions are not quite working as I expected, such as setting favourite lists (I am getting on a bit, though!), but...

The 2 gauge is definitely bigger than 4 gauge I've gotten in budget wiring kits, however this kit comes with 16 gauge speaker wire. If you have an amp that can draw enough amperage to warrant the use of 2 gauge, you need a minimum of 12 gauge on your...

Good sound - although for the purpose I'm using it for, I'm fiddling about with tiny movements on the volume knob because it gets LOUD very quickly! Wasn't supplied with a power supply - which surprised me.

I purchased this as a headphone amplifier and found that it has a remarkable soundstage with vinyl. The individual instruments standout with more dimension than other amplifiers I have used. With my Grado SR80 headphones, the highs are more brilliant...

Still a great amp, but new rivals (including wee brother) mean the RA-05 drops a star

Yamaha's luxurious receiver scores well on the value, features, and sound-quality fronts, but its flexible surround processing clinched the deal for us.

I'm late to the party, I know. I prefer to buy refurbished AV equipment later in their lifecycle to score huge discounts on gear that has 95% of the features the latest models have. I did that with this Yamaha and with the Harman/Kardon it replaced....

Yamaha's midprice HTR-5860 A/V receiver loads up on useful features, and it sounds sweet.

This didn't work for me out of the box. The headphone type plug wouldn't work with my existing Xantech block. I think it had to do with 2 vs. 3 connecters on the plug. I thought about returning the item but instead just cut off the end then stripped...

This AMP is a BEAST. I am using it to power my whole house. ALL 40 SPEAKERS. Well worth the money, was able to get my whole house audio up and running for only $1500. This is a nice unit hands down worth the money, Heavy as all heck, just top quality.

A fine temporary receiver; it worked well for three years and then simply stopped working without any change in usage or apparent reason. The Pioneer help line was totally useless (did you try turning it off and back on again?), and the email request...

The Denon AVR-3808CI AV receiver is absolutely packed with functionality and sounds great, but you'll need to be an AV geek to unlock all its potential.

Sadly a very helpful support person and I determined that there was an internal problem with this beautiful radio. It seems a wireless stick was probably the bad element. The radio was beautiful and I had high hopes but the wireless connection could...

No issues with this receiver....I have used it for almost 2 years reliably. Great menus and options in the on-screen set up.

Am happy with the purchase. One star off as it's slow (10-20 seconds) to handshake through the attached html devices. It also wouldn't recognize a play station 3 connection.

We are retired. This will give you some idea as to our technical expertise. We are beginners. So, I thought it would be helpful to ny other neophytes to take heart that they too can upgrade to a new A/v receiver with HDMI inputs, without being...
