Receiver & Amplifier Reviews

The STR-DH820 adds some useful features from the entry-level STR-DH520. As A/V receivers go, it does a pretty good job and doesn't have any significant failings that would annoy the majority of users.

An impressive AV receiver with snazzy looks, decent network features and a potent performance, but fans of a subtler, more finessed sound might want to look elsewhere.

The first one I tried would not save DAB presets so Richer Sounds supplied a second one which had the same problem - it is probably just very bad design (the instructions describe using FM presets and do not mention DAB presets) - so to change from BBC...

Pioneer's VSX-1012-K is an excellent AV receiver with built-in AirPlay and top-notch sound quality, but Denon's AVR-1912 is just a little better.

The Sony STR-DN1020 isn't a bad AV receiver, but it lags behind its competitors in just about every attribute we consider important.

Whether you’re playing music or movies, the Harman Kardon AVR 370 could do with a touch more refinement and subtlety across its performance. It’s a fun, easy going sound, but it doesn’t deliver the outright excitement and immersion needed to enjoy a...

The AmazonBasics Portable Bluetooth Speaker BTV1 is one of the better "generic" mini wireless Bluetooth speakers and a good value at $60.

I used this with a 7.1 set up including a set of Dali Blue Series cinema speakers, 2 bose jewel diamond cubes (back) and a Dream downward throw 12" subwoofer. I found the MACC set up did a great job at calibrating the speakers to the room and the sound...

The M2is really sort of a hybrid. It is a traditional amp with non-traditionalinputs. It is an integrated amp in spirit but doesn't have all thefunctionality that a traditional integrated would have. It is certainly aspecialized product that, at its...
