I still have the legendary Denon AVC-A1HD, and still using it with my 5.1 system with demanding speakers and it rocks! I do not think that any modern current 3000$ receiver would have the power it has and clarity. The only problem is the Hdmi board is outdated etc.. but all the AVC line from Denon is gold!

I think the best value is the Onkyo RZ50 . 1200 and you get almost everything units costing double have

Over the last 6 years i started with Denon x1500 to Marantz sr7012 to the anthem 1140. hands down, no comparison, the 1140 is nothing short of phenomenal.

I have a yamaha A2a and a denon 3800h and marantz cinema 50. The Cinema 50 is my favorite

[craigjohnchronicles]

Under $750 - Denon x1800H.

For those who have the $$$$, only need 5 channels driven - don't sleep on the MRX 540 8K for outstanding receivers under $2, 000. Amazing for smaller rooms with 100wpc all 5 channels driven. The sound quality for movies and music is superb.

[chinathesideyoudontsee]

Hello my denon 1312 has finally out grown my smart TV ( no EARC ) Which would be better out of the Denon x1800h or s770h. Or is there a better brand option around that price ? Thanks in advance if you reply !
P.S I don't have a dedicated home theater room and to be honest don't crave that cinema experience as I don't watch that much TV / Movies

[fisika]

Really helpful review and I love your background 😊

[sethfm]

This is a great breakdown of avr options for those looking for a new receiver.

[denizinan]

Great review; however, based on my experience, I found the Denon AVR x2800H price mentioned in the video to be significantly higher than what I've seen (European price c. Eur 620 for DAB version as of Dec 2023). In terms of performance, I felt this receiver had a more entry-level sound quality, even with room corrections and paid Audyssey app, it sounded way processed and artificial...Totally disappointed with this receiver and replaced it with an Onkyo NR6100 and never looked back.

[RumzDizzle]

How do we feel about Pioneer these days? sSw the 505 for $700. Dirac live included was a plus. Have an entry level Dennon that is long overdue for an upgrade.

[TheSuzukik]

In my opinion the Yamaha A8A is a fantastic amp. 😎 PS I designed my new cinema room using your design software, and it’s amazing, and I want to thank you for that, I placed my screen speakers and seating using the software dimensions and it’s turned out fantastic. 🤩👍

[frangipani-dreams]

The Anthem onboard menu system is awful, and their HDMI switching takes a literal age - don't know if they've fixed this yet, but I have not heard of them doing so. Also, how can you have omitted the Onkyo RZ70??

[comanche]

OKAY, But which ones have HD-FM? It means a lot to some of us who like fm-hd that sounds equal to cd which blows away streaming!
Comanche out!

[richp]

Love your videos AA! Decided on the Arcam due to your earlier advice and very happy with my choice. Music and the 16 channels of processing is amazing for my Auro 13.2 setup and Atmos 7.2.6 (bought third subwoofer RP1400) which I have yet to hook up but nice to know I have option. Otherwise use in stereo listening room.

Your videos and recommendations have been great. You’ll continue to get my business. Cheers

[chrisgargiulo]

This a great comparison video. Thank you for putting this together!

[dazzfromaus]

Now.
Will all of these systems still power the powerful professional Altec Voice of the theatre Cinema speaker's.

[lehsu]

For value, get the WIIM Pro and paired with 2 Fosi ZA3s instead. The days of these receivers are numbered.

[tkay]

Excellent! Great video! Thanks for posting. Can you also do one for "Best Home Theater Speakers?"

[mnrodriguez]

I have a 2.1 system, 2585S2 and the AS608 sub-woofer! Large room. What AVR do you recommend? Thanks! (Excellent video)

[maciejmizgalski]

So which one should be the best choice for CINEMA & STEREO 50/50 paired with Oberon9?
Denon 3800H? Onkyo 7100? Marantz Cinema 50?
Help please :)
