The Onyko TX-NR414 offers the best AV receiver value for those with a tight budget, although the step-up TX-NR515 model is worth the extra cash if you can afford it.

Unpacked amp, downloaded USB driver and connected amp to my PC via the DAC. Sounded pretty good - changed the USB cable and it sounded even better. Powers my 3 sets of speakers easily. Deep bass and excellent separation on each track even the lowest...

We like this amp. It doesn’t offer the final word in sound or specs, but it does occupy a comfortable spot in the middle ground.

The Samsung STB-E7500 is by far one of the best Freeview PVRs on the market. Features like Wi-Fi, Smart Hub, AllShare Play, 3D conversion, dual-screen viewing and media playback make it more sophisticated than most PVRs, while the gorgeous onscreen...

I must have been snoozing last year as I missed Denon's AVR-3311 completely. That well specified £1,200 receiver forms the base on which the AVR-3312 is built, updated and refined. And it's damn fine news for potential buyers that this year's contender...

The Sony STR-DN850 is among the first 2014 AV receivers we’ve seen and we are suitably impressed.

The Pioneer produces a rip-roaring sound that lacks a little refinement in places

The Denon AVR-S920W is an excellent mid-priced Atmos-ready receiver, with plenty of home cinema muscle and excellent usability.

Every now and again something comes along that is so focused and so madly different from the mainstream that it stands in a category virtually of its own. While the big Japanese brands cram ever more licensed and bespoke home cinema technology into...

There are certainly rivals out there with more power – the very fine Roksan Kandy K2, for example – but none at the moment surpasses the 6a for its precision and agility.

The icing on the cake with this DAC, though, is that you’re getting all this outrageously good sound quality at such a tempting price. DragonFly has us buzzing all over again!

Hegel has made a name for themselves with their standalone integrated amps, amplifiers, and DACs. The H80 takes some of the top integrated amp, pre-amp, and DAC technology and puts it into one box.

I bought this last week, display model, and spent an entire weekend trying to get some sound out of it. After some telephone support from the very helpful guys at Richersounds and Yamaha, I eventually got sound via bluetooth, but audio and video were 3...

The Marantz SR7011 should definitely be on anyone's short list. It's a cracking AV Receiver that delivers fantastic value, with a set of features and a level of performance far in excess of its £1,499 price tag. The SR7011 uses the classic Marantz...

Yes, the comparison between the new Marantz and Denon lines is apt - they share a lot of the same features such as Apple AirPlay, 3D pass-through, 4k upscaling, Audyssey MultEQ XT, and more. But lots of receivers have these features. What distinguishes...
