Yamaha DSP-Z7, AV powerhouse, awesome picture & sound. Advantages: Excellent picture / sound. Amp very good upscaler. Future proof built in. Disadvantages: It is heavy. Amp in short supply This is one serious bit of equipment. It's flexibility with connections make long term future proof. The sound and picture quality is awesome. If it is used in a room that can't take 7.1 number of speakers , use the unused 2 channels to bi-amp the front left & right speakers. It has a multi room capability. It is an excellent upscaler. Five HDMI in, two HDMI's out ( two tv's or tv and projecter ). The amp is built like a tank - solid and weighty. ... ...under less strain whilst giving better performance. A lot of the top of the range DSP-Z11's design and features have found their way into this amp. My one moan is that it's in short supply due to it's success and you may have to wait several weeks for delivery - check suppliers stock. ...

charming piece of equipment Advantages: incredible sound, low price, CD direct, phono ports, multi-zone Disadvantages: none so far Call me old-school. But when it comes to sound, I may have hit the jackpot. About 2 years ago, I decided to upgrade from my old and faithful Technics amplifier to a 21st century piece of equipment. I know, two years is a long way, but there is a story. I started to do my piece of research, and within my budget (700$ tops), I wanted to go for a 5.1 or more surround receiver. I started with Sony, Pioneer, JVC, then moved forward to Denon, Harman ... ...just couldn't scratch that itch, you know. Then, HD being already in the world 2 years back, I said that I'd better wait for a HDMI compatible receiver. I started researching again, and I realized that multi-channel amplifiers won't do it for me. My ears need a crisper, warmer sound than these otherwise very capable components can produce. So, I ended my journey at the RX 797. Boy, am I glad I did. I got it last week via courier. I eventually ... razzda 21.10.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Yamaha RX-797	Sound Quality Ease of Use Look & Design Range of Features Value for Money

Denon is music and movies to your ears! Advantages: quality, amazing sound, good looks, value for money Disadvantages: no HDMI input (but thats changed on newer models) ...this price point, this particular Denon AVR has gone from 1900 to 1910 (as the current model) thus the model before the 1907 was the 1906 and the one after was the 1908, well, you get the idea. Which each release the general product is improved. There are models both up and down, with Denon’s flagship Audio-Visual Receiver the AVR-4810 leading the way with 9.1 channels and more inputs than you can shake a stick at. Of course, the price reflects the ... ...speakers and a shiny new Denon upscaling dvd player, I opted for this AVR. At the time it cost me £350, though it seems prices have risen a little since. No surprise really as you now get HDMI input and output in the newer models including DTS HD and True Dolby Digital HD. My 1907 is lacking in this area, which I’m quite sad about now, as I’ve recently upgraded to a PS3 and full HD TV. If I had the money, I would buy the 1910. That’s not to say I’m ...

Onkyo TX-SR606 - great value Advantages: great connectivity, great 720p (1080i) upscaler, great looks, excellent clarity of sound. Disadvantages: Doesn't upscale to 1080p, a 4th HDMI would be useful. Bought one of these for a great price on eBay at the same time as the 607 was launched. I paid £300 It offers terrific value at the price I paid. In these times of a mixrure of signals from SD to HD, this machine is particuarly useful as it offers a built in scaler that can upscale all of your inputs to 1080i or 720p. (The newer 607 upsclaes to 1080p I believe but apart from blue-ray, just about all transmitted HD signals offered by Sku and VirginMedia ... ...importanmt feature for me as I have a large number of inputs and it was becoming a nighmare to feed into my plasma. This machine also offers terrific sound. It has a nice clear subtle green display so that you know what it's up to! As for features, it would be pointmess to reproduce those in a review as you'll have already read those if you're contemplating the puchase of this AV-amp. If I had a true native resolution of 1080p on my plasma, I'd ... dca860 19.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Onkyo TX-SR606	Sound Quality Ease of Use Look & Design Range of Features Value for Money
