Full-on gung-ho sound with massive bass ; DSX/DPLIIz ; SD upscaling

The bass is a little too massive ; Slightly flimsy build ; No USB

One of the best receivers for the money, the TX-NR807 makes amplifiers costing a lot more wince with the sheer power on offer here

Stamps immense weight and authority on movie soundtracks ; very good steering of surround effects

Can be unruly and uncompromising ; lacks the subtlety and low-level dynamics of class-leaders

A powerful amp that takes no prisoners in the sound department. A good amp, that with greater subtlety could be a great amp

Great sound, DSX and DPLIIz height and width surround channels, 1080p video upscaling

Bass can be a bit full-on, no front-mounted HDMI, no USB input

The remote control is a good one - intuitively laid out and labelled, and easy to find your way around. The top section of buttons lights up in the dark too, which is nice, though we're not quite sure why this couldn't be extended to the number buttons

Setup was hassle free. I plugged in the microphone and ran the Audyssey MultEQ auto-setup routine. It went without a hitch, accurately identifying my speaker setup with main five speakers augmented by two smaller height speakers. I took three listening...

Excellent sound quality, with good imagery balance and powerfull bass, Dolby PLIIz and DTS HD Master Audio as standard, 6 HDMI inputs (assignable) ability to upconvert video to 1080p via Hdmi output, NET radio, (updateable via PC), can also stream...

The NET set up can be a tad tricky, although in my case it was to do with the router settings and by disabling the Digital TV in the settings this overcame the problem. Your neighbours might not like the Reference level, as this receiver pack's a punch...

Pre-outs, Rated at 135w per 2ch, Audyssey, multiple listening modes, Ethernet port, plenty of analogue and HDMI connectivity, 7.2 availability, even more features

HDMI board failures

Great picture and great sound when it is working

Lasted one year before problems showed up. I sent it back for warranty and 3 months later it reverted back to no sound again. I am shipping it back for the second time. This thing has caused me 6 months of pain and it is still ongoing

Very powerful unit, multiple listening modes, firmware upgradable via Internet, easy to use, feature rich, lots of adjustability, detailed owners manual, plenty of connectivity options

At this price range, no need to cry over spilled milk, you're getting more than you bargained for
