Advantages: Looks great, sounds awesome, feels awesome
Disadvantages: Detailed set up can be tricky - just as well it comes idiot proof!

Ok then, so I'm a lucky boy.... On my last birthday my wife decided that she wanted to treat me to a home cinema system so off we went to our local Richer Sounds store (they are VERY cheap and VERY helpful - recommended everyone pays them a visit!) wit ... Read review

Good receiver for its time
by MartinImber

read all reviews

Advantages: Compact, Excellent sound, attractive and slimline, versatile, multifunction remote
Disadvantages: Only SCART connectors for inputs, Adaptor needed for non-scart stuff

When looking for a decent AV amp to complement my DVD player, I couldn't believe how bloody enormous most of them are. I have enough HiFi gear on the rack without making it look like the flight deck of the Starship Enterprise. I eventually managed to f ... Read review

Advantages: 5 separate source inputs, easy to set-up, superb sound.
Disadvantages: Weighs a lot (16kg!), quite big.

With over 10 years of faithful service, it was with great reluctance that I decided to replace my JVC all in one stereo system. There were several reasons for this, firstly it did not have all of the required inputs for the additional pieces of audio vi ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of power and range of tones
Disadvantages: Not enough speaker connections

This pioneer receiver is a great buy. It will work great for a home theater or just some great sound ina room or through out the house. I have mine connected in my room. I only wish it had a sub out for connecting a high power sub to the receiver. I was s ... Read review

I have to agree with everyone else who rated this --> its a receiver and yet you don't even give it full justice in your review. you just glide over it. by chris_ah1

Advantages: Easy to set up, easy to use
Disadvantages: too many choices so ends up costing if you want everything

Excellent amplifier/digital reciever only problem is it has so many choices for set up, and the amount of features and channels you are really spoilt for choice. Although I am a novice in the surround sound and stereo world I found this a delight to us ... Read review

Advantages: Decent power on tap for explosions and high volume action
Disadvantages: Not up to scratch in stereo mode

Now only available second hand but a belter of a bargain if you can get one. At its best with loud brash action films. Loads of power to handle explosions. Equipped with most surround technologies that you'd ever need up to 7.1 channels of the stuff(Dolby ... Read review

Advantages: Powerful, rugged design, discreet sattelites
Disadvantages: Remote is very cluttered, tricky to operate initially.

I picked my one of these up at Argos about 2 years ago, and paid £350 for it. At the time, I was looking to ensure I had the best sound set up of all my mates, and this Pro-Logic 2 setup was exactly what I wanted. I paid my money, took it home, and s ... Read review

Advantages: Solid build, looks, quality
Disadvantages: None yet

The range of features on this amp is outstanding. It looks fantastic with the all metal constructions and brushed aluminium front panel. The display is well lit, but can be dimmed if it becomes an interference. The rear panel is intimidating to look at ... Read review

Clear and concise review. It's annoying how things seem to go down in price not long after you've bought them. Maureen by MAFARRIMOND

Advantages: Does exactly what it says on the box !
Disadvantages: So far, none ! Although even I find that difficult to believe

I started off my surround sound adventure with an older Marantz, but the call of DVD Audio proved to be too strong once I had actually heard (and felt) it. I take great pride in my HC system, and it has taken several years to get it right. Some earlier ... Read review
