This is a small and stylish amp with above average sound at a very good price (For a tube Amp) The steel cover with the Plexiglas front is a nice touch and makes the Amp look more like a quality finished product and not like a basement project like so...

I've reviewed a number of Onkyo A/V receivers over time (see my review of the TX-SR705 from Playback 3) but never one of the really large models and I've always wondered how one of the “big guys” might perform. Partly to satisfy my own curiosity,...

The amplifier need a battery as there is no power lead. But by feeding the amplifier through the computer and using clean software I could concert some old vinyl and I am now playing it in my car as a CD.

Very well made product. Once I was able to figure out how to use it. However the user guide in some areas is vague and not user friendly, compared to,for example, those shown on line by competitors. Some first time users, will become confused A...

We used to use all Crown amps to monitor audio. Granted, they are all VERY old and have worked great for years but they are just WAY too expensive to replace. We have slowly been replacing all our 1RU Crowns with this ART SLA1 and we're very happy. A...

I recently purchased the Marantz PM7001 through Amazon. I was able to get a discount price (10%) through One Call in the Amazon store. The amp is not as tall as their previous PM7000, which I also own. The amp puts out that clear warm Marantz sound one...

The AVR-2309CI comes in at an MSRP of $849. This puts it squarely in the midrange tier of the receiver market. There are definitely a plethora of features to like on this model that, given the price point, make this a very attractive option. The audio...

This unit is compact, very solidly made, tidy, and does all it claims...but it does not do pandora (which I foolishly assumed when it said internet radio). The Frontier Silicon web-based radio arrangement provides easy access to just a tremendous array...

Hello, I bought marantz sr4600 6 months back. I have connected marantz to my Samsung TV but output delivered pcm only. I was able to hear only in 2 channel. Subwoofer is not active. Can anyone suggest.

I have these paired with a Denon 1611 receiver. It's sounds pretty good. I think is worth 500.00. I was able to get it at 250. At 250 it's a really good deal. It is weird that the sub faces the back. Really sleek speakers though. Look nice.

Even though I ended up selling it I'd recommend it to beginners to modeling. It's easy to use, has tons of options, and doesn't sound bad, just not to my standards. It's very easy to setup and mo...

I bought this amp after reading reviews here. This amp sounds very rich in sound. I should admit I have not tried any other amps. The only thing I did not like is the awkward looking remote control. It does not even match the color and is cut in a...
