Arcam AVR300 AV-receiver Arcam AVR300 is a multichannel receiver with relatively modest switching capabilities (is designed for work with six sources and doesn't have HDMI inputs), but takes the highest place in the company's model range. Arcam always comply with the principle that more intelligent and powerful multichannel... Arcam AVR350 AV-receiver Audio equipment produced under Arcam brand will not get lost on the shelves among respectable Japanese competitors.

Arcam AVR360 AV-receiver Arcam FMJ AVR360 - almost an exact copy of the older models with the index AVR400.

Cute English receiver is a complete switch-amplifier for the modern home theater with any AV-source.... Arcam AVR400 AV-receiver Serious audiophile brands have always been conservative with respect to new-fangled digital stuff.

Cambridge Audio Azur 340R AV-receiver Whether it's the latest Hollywood action blockbuster or the 5.1 mix of Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon', surround sound can be an enjoyable experience.

Cambridge Audio Azur 540R AV-receiver Cambridge audio, along with the traditional components for stereo, produces a full set of electronics for building a home cinema. Today Cambridge Audio Azur 540R is the older receiver in the branded line. I must say that the English company has joined the race for the development of equipment for home... Cambridge Audio Azur 540R v.3 AV-receiver Quite conservative Englishmen from Cambridge started production of cinema equipment not so long ago, and Azur 540R AV-receiver (then the first version) became one of the first-born in this segment. Such a slow replenishment of the model range can be explained primarily by the reluctance to launch a product... Cambridge Audio Azur 651R AV-receiver The approach of manufacturers of mass electronics and small-scale Hi-Fi to making receivers is very different. The formers hurry to implement a maximum of functions, more sound processing programs, network protocols, colors in the graphical menu, inputs and outputs; as for analog part, it is designed... Denon AVR-1500 AV-receiver The AVR-1500 might look like a typical midprice A/V receiver, and in many ways that's exactly what it is, standing, as it does, precisely at the midpoint of Denon's A/V receiver line. But in a couple of very important respects it is more top-drawer than run-of-the-mill. Let's start with the typical... Denon AVR-1600 AV-receiver The Denon AVR-1600 receiver is very traditional both in external design and in the ideology of the organization of management. The DSP mode is selected by a direct call from the front panel, and then the parameters are adjusted from the remote control. Along with modes for music videos (ROCK ARENA and... Denon AVR-1602 AV-receiver The receiver differs minimally from its predecessor. Its main advantage is the presence of a Dolby Pro Logic II decoder. But this alone is worth a lot.

Denon AVR-1603 AV-receiver If it weren't for the plug covering the AV input (there is no S-video connector in it, but there is an optical digital signal connector), the front panel of the device could be considered classic. But the layout of the receiver is classic without any exaggeration: a five-channel amplifier with 5.1 decoders.... Denon AVR-1604 AV-receiver The amplification system of the new Denon AVR-1604 is made according to the proprietary Twin Drive Rectifier scheme, but the declared power consumption is one of the lowest among competitors.

Denon AVR-1612 AV-receiver Denon AVR-1612 receiver is equipped with a five-channel amplifier section, however, to create the 7.1 system, a preliminary output is provided for two more channels (surround back).

Denon AVR-1706 AV-receiver Denon AVR-1706 receiver differs by advanced switch for connection of analog audio/video sources, has not the most budget digital processor, powerful supply system (a huge transformer is well seen through the vented holes) and a seven-channel amplifier with convincing passport characteristics. The presence... Denon AVR-1800 AV-receiver The Denon AVR-1800 has a sense of power and class that is taken for granted with obvious satisfaction.

On the rear panel there are three component video inputs: in addition to the traditional... Denon AVR-2106 AV-receiver I want to call the design of AV-receiver Denon AVR-2106 nostalgic: the faceplate with triangular groove and many of control elements return us to the era of "Matrix" and "Titanic". AVR-2106 is the most inexpensive model and by the specifications stated it shows fight to its opponents. Therefore, it will... Denon AVR-2803 AV-receiver The Denon AVR-2803 AV receiver is easy to adjust both from the remote control and from the front panel. The volume control is very smooth (0.5 dB step). The levels of each channel are set with the same accuracy, and for the best pairing with a subwoofer, three steps of LFE-signal amplification are introduced.... Denon AVR-2807 AV-receiver Denon AVR-2807 receiver will not leave you cold by neither its characteristics nor the number of features. It's enough to give a look at the description and it becomes clear that a movie lover cannot find a better device for such money. Bend your fingers: there are all types of surround decoders, digital... Denon AVR-3600 AV-receiver To judge from Denon's well-equipped and well-performing AVR-3600 A/V receiver, manufacturers are at last beginning to get the hang of incorporating Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoding into their products. While a few early components have exhibited notable (and easily avoidable) flaws, Denon has done nothing... Denon AVR-3801 AV-receiver There used to be a lot of four "prologic" channels... Now that the seven-channel 6.1 format has entered the threshold, it may well turn out that tomorrow even more "loaded" formats will start crowding it out. But only those who have prepared for this in advance will be able to work with them. One of... Denon AVR-4306 AV-receiver Denon AVR-4306 is ideal for those who need a device with comprehensive switching capabilities.

As with most A/V receivers, the five-channel rating is specified at 1 kHz (with 0.7% distortion),... Denon AVR-X1100W AV-receiver You can see with the naked eye that the new device was made based on the model AVR-X1000.

Denon AVR-X2000 AV-receiver After releasing a new range of receivers, the Denon company decided to reset the model names - now there are pretty index numbers with zeros instead of cumbersome bunch of complex numbers.

Harman/Kardon AVR 235 AV-receiver Harman/Kardon AVR-235 is in the middle of the line and can satisfy even the most unwanted by sellers' contingent - demanding but not very solvent movie lovers.

Harman/Kardon AVR 30 AV-receiver The Harman Kardon AVR 30 is a complete audio/video receiver that would be equally compatible with a stereo music system or a home theater installation.
