It's easy to forget that Yamaha effectively invented the home cinema receiver market. When screens were square and multichannel audio was young and frisky, it pioneered with monster AV receivers that became things of legend. Back then, DSP was...

This is connected to an original Arcam Alpha amp and Q Acoustics 3020 speakers. It is head and shoulders above cheaper Bluetooth products I've heard. If you spend a lot more you can hear the difference if listening intently but this is so good for the...

This replaced an old Marantz amplifier. Very pleased with it. Sounds good which is the main objective. Looks well built , certainly big and heavy. Arrived before expected so overall I'm very pleased with this purchase. New speakers next?

It lacks the networking skills and GUI of its older siblings, but Richard Stevenson still finds a lot to love about this £900 AVR

It sounds delectable with high-res audio sources – although prefers unplugged to unleashed – and with DTS:X compatibility to complement Dolby Atmos promised, plus wide HDCP 2.2 HDMI input support, it’s not going to date any time soon. Give it a listen.

Denon’s AVR-2312 is a receiver that knows what it’s doing, and it knows this to a phenomenal extent. It has been priced to cater to the mid-level market and for the price tag, it’s a steal. There’s authority under that black hood that takes charge of...

I was expecting iFi Audio's new micro iDSD Black Label to be a bit different than my iDSD silver model; after all, it's the company's latest version of a standard offering. There are some new parts that are better, the same parts but "better", maybe a...
