The Bryston 2B SST in many ways reminds me of a Porsche 911, as it is a design so classic that it only needs slight improvements to stay relevant in the marketplace. The improvements made to the SST version of the Bryston 2B have made the performance...

Great sound! I use it to drive my home theater system and the sound is just amazing compared to my previous two receivers. This receiver is powering the same speaker system as the other two and the difference is incredible. It can be a little...

Pioneer's A6 analogue audio amplifier delivers exceptional audio quality, but its high price and limited range of functions may restrict its appeal to many users.

Easy to use and set up. I personally did not like the ypao setup. I did the manual setup and it sounds alot better. Great features and on screen menu is perfect. The on screen volume level is not a problem as I thought it would be. Music and movies...

I own this amp for 5 years. I can say that I've tried many very expensive amplifier beams, but never ever would change the Marantz PM7200. It 'absolutely unbeatable as a unit stamp and airiness. The low cost is not at all associated with the quality....

Good in many ways – not the best-in-class, but a solid and competitive performer in most regards

As long you don't need HDMI compatibility, the Yamaha RX-V659 A/V receiver offers good sound quality, a full panoply of features, and a solid value.

With the exception of one missing feature, the new Yamaha RX-V867 is quite an interesting product. For under $900, you get full analogue and HDMI upconversion to 1080p, HDMI 1.4a with 3D, Audio Return Channel, and input switching while in Standby...

When combined with the NAP 155 XS power amp, this preamp ticks many of the boxes but doesn’t have the wow factor needed to achieve five-star status

Pioneer VSX-917K™ is a good choice for a moderate Home Theater system. If you have HD DVD player such as Toshiba HD-A20™ or Toshiba HD-XA2™ where the decoding of the lossless sound can be done inside the player, you can connect it to the unit and enjoy...

The ProSub 1000 offers some very nice value and overall performance for its affordable price. Even if it didn't particularly excel with music, it would garner a recommendation based on its movie and gaming performance alone. But its refined...

This products 1/8" inputs/outputs make it easier to use in home applications. I used it to boost the ipod and wireless speaker transmitter to level and increase each device's output. It was small enough to hide and the 4 separate inputs, outputs, and...

If you don't have the money to spring for a Vox Ac30 or a vintage one then this might be right up your ally. At new they come in at around $600. That is a heck of a price for a solid tube amp that ...

We bought this the same time that we bought our Mitsubishi 82", 3D TV. Can I say 'WOW?' Yes, I can. "WOW" I love this thing! I can play Pandora. I can play local radio stations. I can play movies/songs/photos through our home's local network/media...

At new these amps come in right at around $450, which is a steal of a price. You can't get a whole lot for that money but you can get a nice sounding all tube amplifier combo from Blackstar. This i...

The RX-V457 is an "entry level, all-purpose receiver that will thrill most and satisfy the rest." Sound-wise, the two-channel reproduction was "crisp and real," while the "Roxy Theater" setting "brought back the room and I could almost smell the smoke...

I am using this amp with B&W Nautilus 803's and an HTM2 center, it sounds fantastic. It also looks very cool with the massive size, front and side heat sinks, rear wheels and fantastic connections. At this point in time, you will struggle to find a...

I can't survive without radio as it is my necessity. I was desperate to replace my present Roberts R9962 which only lasted 15 months hence outside 1 year guarantee. Only what I need is LW, BBC 4 and French radio stations like RTL, France Inter, and...

It works well. No issues. Using it to split up a VGA signal coming from a security DVR. I have one monitor in my living room and another in my office. I didn't want to have to get up to look at the security monitor in the living room every time I heard...

Track access is a bit slow. The D6 likes to have a bit of a think before it responds to your commands. Likewise, fast winding through tracks is slow and 'jerky' - instead of winding back or forth smoothly and quickly, the D6 tends to jump in short...

Having used the FiiO E9 for about four weeks I am delighted to be able to recommend this product. The quality of sound improvement and amplification over the standard headphone provision, even on good quality separates and amplifier is I think worth...
