Receiver & Amplifier Reviews

The Bose 3-2-1 Series II DVD system does a surprisingly good surround-sound imitation with just two satellites, but it's overpriced.

Would be a great amp if the speakers were connected properly. Only way to get decent volume was to always run through the effects for some reason that sorted the phase otherwise the bass was just cancelled. I did the cd in test and great base with left...

I was initially very surprised at the great small size of the kickAMP. I wanted to push my in-wall speakers for an ipod connection. This on the surface seemed like a perfect device. I could tuck it away, and just have the ipod dock visible. I...

I was delighted to find this little gem of a "living history" CD for our study of the decades of the 20th Century - until I tried to actually use it. No matter how "compatible" the CD claims to be, it does not run on Windows XP - even after several...

There are few names that are both as well known and associated with high-end as Rotel. They have a reputation for quality and power and great aesthetics. At only 100 watts, I couldn't say that the RMB-1085 was a huge improvement over the internal amps...

I bought this trusting Amazon when it said it was compatible with Windows Vista. It is not. If you have Vista, avoid buying this version.

Great value, hours of fun, easy to use, very educational. My pre-schooler has been enjoying Putt-Putt CD Roms for 2 years now (she has 5), and her older 11 year old sister enjoys "helping" her when she needs it. Good, clean, quiet fun with a hidden...

I've owned one of these receivers for years. It works well until you try to upgrade the firmware. Obviously Onkyo is not used to this kind of thing. It failed and the only fix it to take it to a dealer. So sure, it looks good but forget about Onkyo...

I've been a mobile dj for 24 years and as far as amps go, for the money, it's an excellent choice. I'm using this amp to power 4 of Radio Shacks 150 watt PA speakers wired in parallel and the sound quality and volume is excellent.

A nice unit with good sound. Not great sound mind you, (but hey it's not $1000 either) as I found it sounded a bit too "wide" on most settings no matter how I fiddled with it, but set at it's basic functions it sounds well and offers a terrific value....

This is a amp for a bass guitar. I used it for my Brownsville bass and then tried it for my girlfriend's fender guitar, it would not push the sound. Perfect for the amplified sound I wanted, and I am very pleased with this product. I hope anyone...

bought it new at musiquemax in rosemere. Paid 185$, saw good reviews on the net...The amp cranks a good punch when solicitated but that\'s about it...for a 15 watt...The whole rest of the amp sucks! It\'s got an 8 inch inside and it\'s like it\'s got a...

I have this system set up in a sizable cathedral ceiling living room, with the speakers built in to the ceiling. The volume is barely acceptable at maximum, and if watching any media that you want to "crank up" the sound, it just doesn't cut it. It...

This device requires a 12 VDC power source to run and does not come equipped with a working one! It is packaged with a cable with one end that fits into the device and the other end is open wire! I looked and looked on this site and I cannot find ONE...

Do not buy this switcher if you plan on using it with a home theater PC. Contrary to the detailed information on the Radiient website it does not work with PC DVI/HDMI connections. A response to my query to their technical support resulted in "We do...

Sony's midprice receiver won't wow buyers with eye-popping styling or up-to-the-second features, but it sounds pretty sweet.

I bought this receiver from a local Salvation Army Thrift store 2 days ago for $35. I was definitely a bit skeptical, considering $35 was a bit on the pricey side for a 17 year old appliance with no guarantee or even redeemable store credit if there...
