I have been a big fan of Denon for a while, they have always had a fantastic reputation, but at a premium price. As of recently, their receivers have really come to the front of the pack, and the 4810 is no exception. I have a lot of experience with the 3808 and have nothing but positive things to say […]

Marantz has been known for their quality for a while, and looks like they are continuing the trend. Here’s a quick review at one of their latest offerings.   Digital Trends The Marantz SR6004 is very competitively featured. We immediately noticed four HDMI 1.3 inputs and two HDMI outputs. Component video and composite inputs are plentiful, but there is just […]

Denon has been around for a long time and have always been known for high quality components. The 4310 continues where their very popular 3-series left off and comes in at a rather hefty $2000 price tag. So no surprise that it comes with every bell and whistle you would ever imagine needing.   Audioholics With a full compliment of […]

This is just a concept, but it’s pretty unique. I’m not sure I’d prefer something like this, but I suppose it would definitely impress visitors. Of course, no pricing or word on availability yet, but thought you’d all enjoy it.   Gizmodo Yes, I’m a touch freak, and I love the Mphony AV receiver. No buttons except for what it […]

I’ve been using an Onkyo receiver for quite a while and have been pleasantly surprised. They’re really tough to beat on a cost for performance ratio especially for someone with my budget.   CNet Onkyo’s new HT-RC180 ($1,049 MSRP) is THX Select2 Plus Certified and that’s always a good sign. A bevy of features including an Ethernet port that enables […]

Yamaha is trying some new things with this neoHD system and setup, and while it does deliver on a couple points, the author at Gizmodo feels it’s still a work in progress. I prefer a more traditional looking receiver, but in the end it’s all about quality and performance. If interested, it’s good to hear that setup is at least […]

Looks like Denon saved their big guns until after the CEDIA show, announcing some new products that are sure to impress as much as put a dent in your wallet.   EngadgetHD The 9.3-channel AVR-4810CI ($2,999) looks to be the successor to Denon’s popular 4308CI — feature packed and definitely on the high end of the spectrum. Six HDMI 1.3a […]

You don’t often see A/V receiver companies pushing the boundaries on design innovations, most are quite content with being the biggest, baddest (and heaviest!) devices in a home theater. Not only is Sherwood breaking the mold here, but they’re maintaining the features which are required for a solid central unit to a theater.   EngadgetHD For starters, the compact set-top-box […]

I had to post this as it caught me totally off guard. My former President of a company I used to work with had all sorts of McIntosh gear in his racks, and they’re quite impressive to look at. It’s interesting to see them take a totally different direction with an all-in-one like this….but at $7,500 it is sure to […]
