Yamaha's RX-V1700 is a hard-hitting receiver that packs plenty of punch. At this price you could expect more features but there are no compromises to the class-leading sound quality.

The comparison with NAD’s D3020 is a fair one. Both amplifiers are forward-looking designs, and while there are differences in specification - NAD has Bluetooth and not Airplay - both are aiming for the same market. The lack of Bluetooth might not sit...

Far from perfect, but for the asking price it sends a completely new standard

Sony don't fail to impress with this stunning AV receiver, prepare yourself for an intense experience

The RX-A1040 is great in every other respect – features, design, use – so it’s annoying that the one thing it is supposed to excel in, surround sound, is what holds it back from five stars. There’s no need for that jarring, aggressive tone, and we miss...

Stereo amplifier Product of the Year 2011. A big step-up from the older 6003 version, the PM6004 is very tough – if not impossible – to fault at this price

Great for the price posted (although it dropped $50 the month following purchase for me), AV Passthrough works and keeps from having your receiver on at all times so running all your outer components through this device works when compared to other...

The '3310 is very accomplished but it just lacks the wow factor needed to justify a full five-star rating

Is nine the new seven? I’m talking about amp channels. Not long ago, nine-channel receivers were rare and supported relatively exotic surround modes that few people used. But Dolby Atmos bids to change the status quo by adding two to four height...

Somewhat underwhelming: a £3000 AV receiver simply needs to deliver more

The Yamaha RX-V661 is a solid, budget AV receiver with HD switching, but it's a tough sell when competing models with next-generation HDMI 1.3 features are available for just a few dollars more.

Yet more home cinema brilliance from Denon to attract the enthusiasts

Overall a good unit. Built pretty sturdy. However I am having the exact same problem that was described in one of the other reviews in that every few minutes the audio has some sort of distortion/interruption when using the bluetooth. I wish this could...

A steady diet of Heineken was just the spur for me to quickly remove Barb Jungr from the awesomely built transport tray and gently replace it with Sydney's finest, and I was bloody glad I did for it proved to be one of the genuine surprises of this...
