THE VERDICT And Cambridge Audio's AXR100 is one of a small but growing cadre of current-day stereo receivers aiming to satisfy it. Four-zone multiroom JBL October Fest Deals: Up to 60% off + free shipping. Solid two-channel and multichannel power
THE VERDICT Only three HDMI inputs (Yes, I’m packing-material obsessive.) Back in my early days of audiophilia, stereo—no wait, stereo and vinyl—was pretty much the game. Up to 5.1 channels Satisfying power for both two-channel and multi-channel modes No multichannel preamp outputs The Denon AVR-S750H offers generous sound quality, plenty of connectivity options. The required logos for each of these licensed features now forms a long row extending the full width of most receivers, with IMAX Enhanced counting as the latest logo gunning for real estate on any AVR that wants to be up-to-date. SECRETS of Home Theater and High Fidelity was launched in 1994 as the first major publication offering serious audio/video journalism on the Internet. My first receiver was a 15-watt-per-channel Pioneer SX-434, but it just as easily could have been a Marantz, Sansui, Kenwood, Luxman, or any of several other storied brands. No 9-channel (front- and rear-height) Atmos/DTS:X expansion option AT A GLANCE Impressive dynamics and clarity in both stereo and multichannel Limited ergonomics. The flagship models cost a lot, pump out 140 or so watts from each of at least nine and often more channels, and they tend to cram in every conceivable feature. Buying a basic receiver was a typical rite of passage for a high school or college student back then, and it was staring at rows of them at the local TV/appliance store—with their shiny brushed chrome faceplates, dials and buttons, and backlit tuning displays—that got me hooked on audio in the first place. Dirac room correction Onkyo makes more than a dozen A/V receiver models at varying price points, but most of the acclaim inevitably goes to the flagship with its flashy bells and whistles, while models at the entry level get lots of love for providing good value.
Extensive wireless options But let me not prejudge. Plus Excellent Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room correction The Bose 3-2-1 Series II DVD system does a surprisingly good surround-sound imitation with just two satellites, but it's overpriced. Minus capability Seven years in receiver years is—well, a lot of years. Non-backlit remote. Rotel returns to analog amplification for their latest top-of-the-line home theater machine—and the results are golden. A middle child misses out on both the attention that's lavished on the first born and the doting care parents give to the baby of the family. HEOS wireless multiroom Minus THE VERDICT They still do, but those are almost beside-the-point functions. Is the Rotel RAP-1580 the surround receiver that dares not speak its name? Wireless HEOS surround and sub options Plus The Yamaha RX-V671 sounds excellent and supports several high-quality streaming-music services, but it lacks built-in AirPlay support. Full-sized, full-function remote control Muscular Class A/B amp No analog video inputs AT A GLANCE The Yamaha RX-V573 is a serviceable 7.1 AV receiver, but with only four HDMI inputs, competing models offer a better value. NAD’s modular-upgrade strategy endows V3 of the T758 with bleeding-edge room correction and audio streaming without impairing its excellent sound. Modularity allows upgrades Receivers nowadays are more concerned with decoding, casting, wireless-connecting, virtualizing, surround-formatting, multi-room-extending, auto-analyzing, and more. No DTS:X (yet)
Some people get weird about anything with a 13 in it.
Nearly no front-panel controls With an extensive feature package, rock-solid build quality, and awesome sound, the Pioneer Elite VSX-82TXS is a worthy combination of everything we expect in a high-end A/V receiver. Entry-level jobs are cheap, five- or seven-channel affairs that usually top out at 65-or-so real watts per channel and incorporate more basic feature sets. 3.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos/DTS:X setup option with phantom surrounds Onkyo's versatile nine-channel receiver delivers an impressive blend of performance and features at a middle-of-the-pack price. So I prefer to call this an audiophile receiver. No audio outputs other than HDMI. Nine channel amp for flexibility Minus

No HDMI or other video switching Effective Dirac Live room correction Fear of this seemingly innocuous number, otherwise known as Triskaidekaphobia, has brought us buildings with no 13th floor, and even the renaming of the 13th Space Shuttle mission. Minus Minus AT A GLANCE Fully competitive with other flagship AVRs in basic performance, the Yamaha RX-A2070’s proprietary DSP music listening modes are an added attraction that could win over even the most serious listeners. They still make stereo receivers?
THE VERDICT As such, it is arguably the most important component in your system, handling all audio/video switching, amplification, audio and room correction processing, and often much more. complex than most auto room EQ.
