The men best friend
Advantages: performant, usefull Disadvantages: might take a wile till you realise how to use it if you are not used with performant things
...Man. But the Sony also injects an extra layer of realism and emotion to a film’s music score. The Yamaha DSP-AX763 and DSP-863SE boast marginally greater transparency and dynamics, but the classical score of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still sounds great.
The Sony times superbly, instruments sound natural, and it’s these intrinsic values that give it kudos in stereo mode, too. Very occasionally, treble can sound a touch bright ...

Pioneer SC-LX81 is a powerful feature packed A/V amp
Advantages: Power, media streaming, iPod connection, auto-calibration Disadvantages: Slow using remote to navigate GUI, VERY basic GUI
I was deciding between this and the sister LX71, after spending £1800 on speakers I didn't want to let the system down. The list of credits on this A/V amp was amazing; THX Ultra 2 Plus certification, auto-calibration, dlna audio/video streaming playback and 190W/channel from B&O ICEpower amps to mention but a few. After completing the connections the basic setup was 2 button clicks, with so much packed in harnessing full control of the features ... ...produces a balanced and effective sound stage considering the awkward position of my equipment. The power is staggering and could inconvenience the neighbours in other flats easily. I have large speakers on the front to replicate the bass in music and the amp drives these well. There are many sound formats for personal preference but Dolby Digital does well for me. Using a partition on my network hard drive and 1 folder deep organisation I managed ...

Possibly the worst Sat reciever on the market
Advantages: none Disadvantages: many
...going to houses that have Grundig boxes as they take forever to set up. Then they asked how much I had paid for them and said I should have gone to John Lewis or Richer Sounds as they are selling then for £97. Now I know prices fluctuate from store to store but by £43???? So I had spent £86 more than I needed to and I still need to buy two more boxes for other rooms, so this could have almost paid for a third box.
I went online and found that Currys ... ...was told again, DONT TOUCH GRUNDIG THEY ARE THE WORST YOU CAN BUY, GET A REFUND. Go and buy a HUMAX.
The box I use is connected to a Samsung 42 inch plasma screen just over a year old and the one upstairs is connected to a Sony Bravia 42 inch plasma screen so I feel its highly unlikely that any of the issues are relevant to the TVs.
The only way I can actually get these boxes to come on ( and yes this issue is with BOTH boxes) is to unplug it from ...

sony reciever
Advantages: good sound quality Disadvantages: too many buttons on remote
I don't normally buy Sony products as the price tag they put on things is rediculous, when i can go and buy the same product from a different brand at half the price. This Sony Product is different though, i have the Bose Acustimass 10s hooked up to this baby, normally Bose offers a good speaker performance no matter what amplifier it's hooked up too, as long as the treble and bass settings are set properly.
This amplifier was different, the sound ... ...richer than any other amplifier i connected these speakers too, and it was a straight out of the box job, no fidiling with the treble and bass settings all day to try and find the perfect sound, it just sounded good as soon as i turned it on.
The amplifier has taken quite alot of beatings in the past, i.e, it has fallen off cabinets, had drink spilt all over it and had been sitting in a freezing garage over a 3 week period in winter, and it is still ...

Sound beyond belief with the YAMAHA RX-V457
Advantages: Perfect sound quality & just phenomenal all round Disadvantages: there are none
It is really the best peice of equiptment in my house, i have it set up to the jamo's surround sound system, my 44" pioneer plasma and it interlinks with everything from my DVD player and my sky+. When this baby is increased to full volume for movies like pearl harbour you really cant be in the room, it sounds like there is a full blown war in my house, even from the outside. The sound does not get fuzzy as the volume increases the furniture just ... ...the minus 20 section, it is loud when the volume is at zero so you have to decrease it into the minus numbers. When I purchased this product a professional installed it and gave me a rundown of all its features so it was easy to understand and operate. The instruction manual is there for convenience however you wont be needing it. There is absoloutly no porblems with this product, it has never broken once in all the years that i have had it and it ...
