Receiver & Amplifier Reviews

At new these amps come in at around $1599. That is about the right price for this amp. It has a decent tone but nothing really special to my ears. I would much rather go for a Splawn Streetrod or a...

Despite some inevitable sacrifices to keep costs down, this Pioneer is a highly accomplished performer

From a pure user standpoint, the RX-V467 is light years better than then RX-V367. For $379 (a $120 premium) you'd expect as much. The native decoding of HD audio and YPAO room correction are welcome additions and should make the RX-V467 very user...

A big, powerful, attractive amp for the money, even if it's not without competition

This is by far the worst receiver I have ever owned. How can a presumably good brand and at this price point produce something so bad ? I had mine serviced (a major hassle) twice while under warranty and after having the chips replaced, the problems...

For just under $700, sold direct to your door, you can get the Outlaw RR2150 and be well on your way to having the beginnings of one fine two-channel audio system. Mate it to a pair of good bookshelf speakers or even large floor standing speakers and...

This highly affordable Onkyo system has the oomph to fill large rooms.

As much as I enjoyed reviewing the Marantz SR7500 receiver (was it really 18 months ago?), at the time I found myself lusting over the next-in-line receiver, the 8500 ...

Overall, the Marantz SR-7500 is a very musical receiver, with good tonal balance and pleasant to listen to for long periods. Detail was clear, especially with male and female vocals, and improved noticeably when the Pure Direct Mode was engaged, which...

Incredible definition. The dynamics and channel separation themselves are worth every penny for the unit. All of the useless features on the 3900 are non-existent on the Rotel. Just audiophile simplicity. I couldn't ask for more.

This midpriced Onkyo has the sound quality, the flexible features, and the design excellence reminiscent of a megabuck receiver.

All in all I think Mesa has a good concept with this amp. I'm sure it's great for players who need something with a few more features than the average 25w tube amp and it has a good feature-set. Ho...

I like the sound of this preamp the best. I haven't had the chance to use the Lo-Z input yet, but I look forward to it. The phase reverse and phantom power work fine, and the pad is useful. There i...

A solid and well built AV receiver with just about every type of audio format you could wish for but we wouldn't recommend it to the newcomer to the AV scene

Excellent product that sounds amazing. My old turntable is brand new again. And I would recommend this product very highly to a friend.

A versatile but limited receiver. For the money there are better offers out there

While Marantz may be largely focused on home theater products as of late there's still an audiophile heart beating within the manufacturer's walls evident in the release of their PM-17 preamp, which captures a lot of the classic Marantz magic but in a...

It is a wonderful little amp, especially for the price! My only bug bear with this product is the heat that it produces. It does get very warm after use, which implies that the heat dispersion is not installed correctly, however it is still going strong!

At $1,600 retail I consider the SC-35 AV receiver from Pioneer's Eliteline of home theater products to be a better value than its costliersibling the SC-37, for the two possess almost identical options andconnectivity not to mention sound. So, the home...

For the price, there is nothing that can beat the E5's sound-boosting capabilities. For such a small device to add a significant amount of bass and have such a long battery life is very impressive indeed.

Works very well with the Sony home theater! No wires from the front is very nice. No issues over the last 18 months!

This is a great preamp for the money. It really brought a lot of sounds into focus. Everything sounds clearer, louder, and more detailed now. Definitely recommended.

The Duet is very, very well made. You could throw this thing at a wall and it won't harm a thing, except your wall. I've had it for years. The breakout cable is nice, it's comforting to know you can get it replaced if you ever have a problem without...
