Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I got this system on sale somewhere else. I couldnt find a bunch of reviews about it so I decided to share with everyone my experience.

Pyle Home PD1000A 1000-Watt AM-FM Receiver with Built-in DVD/MP3/USB Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Pyle PD1000A seemed a good idea. Build in the DVD/CD player into the receiver. One would expect Pyle to be innovative given their good reputation in the Pro Audo field. So I ordered one to upgrade my current TEAC Receiver. I could eliminate the DVD/CD player and pick up extra space on the audio rack.Out...

Pyle Home PD3000A 3000-Watt AM-FM Receiver with Built-In DVD/MP3/USB Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Product does as expected. Overall, works great! "Good power on my 150wrms bookshelf speakers!" The negative is that it is not 300wrm x 2 at 8ohms. It is really 150wrms x 2 at 8ohms or 260wrms x 2 at 4ohms and should be labeled as such instead of using false wattage for advertising. This is the reason...

Marantz SR6005 Audio Video Receiver (Black) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I received a Marantz 6005 a few days ago and have been auditioning it since then. I've also auditioned, over the last four weeks, the Yamaha RX-V667, Marantz SR5005, Denon 3310, Pioneer 1120, and Onkyo 808. So how does the 6005 compare to the others?

Yamaha RX-A1000 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As I write this review, I am listening to my favorite music DVD (Eagles, hell freezes over), and I have the volume cranked to about 70% to match the listening volume of the Yamaha HTR 5790 (50% volume) that this RX-A1000 replaced. The 5790 had 110 watt vs 105 watt per channel for the RX-A1000. It was...

SHERWOOD RD-5405 5.1-Channel 70-Watt A/V Receiver with HDMI Switching Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Even for the money this receiver should be off your list. There is NO SUPPORT for DTS Surround sound. At this day and age this is inexcusable. Since virtually all Blu-Ray discs and many DVD movies and concerts come with DTS, why bother. Find something else with DTS support (even the older DTS standard...

Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I finally received my Pioneer 1019 last night. I ended up staying up way too late last night setting this up. I purchased the Pioneer 1019 after a lengthy decision process between the Denon 1910, Onkyo 607 and Yamaha 765. I needed 4 HDMI so the earlier models wouldn't work and I was also limited in footprint...

Yamaha HTR-3063BL 5.1 Channel 500 Watt AV Receiver (Each, Black) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This receiver sounds good, is very reasonably priced, but it's not quite what I was expecting.Reading the description of this unit, and looking at its back panel pictures, left me with the impression it probably can output video to an HDMI TV, regardless of the input source selected ("upsampling"). It...
