Therefore, today’s Onkyo TX-SR393 review features the 5.2 channel receiver from the mid-to-low price range. With 8 Ohm speakers, the receiver offers 80 Watts per 2 channels at 0.08% THD with 20-20kHz frequency.

Yamaha RX-V385 Review

Yamaha RX-V385 review

My Yamaha RX-V385 review aims to determine whether it gives Yamaha an edge in the competition in the low-end price segment of the market. It is a 5.1 channel AV receiver that can provide 70 Watts per 2 channels with 8 Ohm speakers at 0.08% THD and offers a standard 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency. Furthermore, because RX-V385 is bi-amping capable, it helps the receiver to provide decent power and quality for movies.

Denon AVR-S570BT Review

Denon AVR-S570BT review

Today’s Denon AVR-S570BT review features an entry-level receiver with 5.2 channels. It also has a surprising amount of power – 70 watts, 20 – 20000 kHz when using 8-ohm speakers, and a THD of 0.08%. The receiver can deliver 70 watts only per 2 channels, so when fully loaded, the amount of power distributed to every single speaker will decrease correspondingly.

Denon AVR-S660H review

The Denon AVR-S660H review is dedicated to a rather interesting entry-level receiver from the S-series. It is a 5.2-channel unit with 75 watts per channel with 8-ohm speakers with 0.08% THD. Note that the power would decrease when using all five channels. Still, the receiver is more powerful than the Marantz NR1510 and many other analogs.

Marantz NR1510 Review

Marantz NR1510 review

There are many reasons to love Marantz products, and their NR series receivers are definitely among them.

Yamaha RX-A2A review

In 2021 Yamaha made a bold attempt to take a part of the market from Denon with their AVR-X2800H. To achieve this goal, they released a new receiver – RX-A2A, which was supposed to compete in this niche. And now I’ll tell you what came out of it.

Denon AVR-X1700H Review

Denon AVR-X1700H review

There is hardly a company that can make a real revolution in the receiver market. Yet, this doesn’t stop Denon from trying. Judging by the AVR-X1700H specifications, I can already state that while it may not be the revolution, it is an interesting product. Especially compared to the competitors sharing the same price range, such as the NR1510 from Marantz and RX-V4A from Yamaha. Well, let’s take a closer look at what it is.
