Denon AVR-3808CI Receiver
“The 3808CI has plenty of power. Audyssey sounds great. I purchased the upgrade package when it came available. I owned this for 3 yrs. before upgrading to a Denon A100 and gave the 3808 to my son. Still in use today.” --Browninggold
Denon AVR-A100 100th Anniversary 9.2, 140W
“I bought this receiver to replace my old analog equipment (Mclintosh separates) to get me up to speed with digital equipment. Stereo Music 2 channel sound was most important to me. The amps in this receiver are excellent and once you get Audyssey set up correctly and use the built- in DAT, Restorer HQ, your speakers will come alive. I still use and love my ADS 980 speakers for my mains. ...” --cindyj3730

“Been playing with this receiver for 8 hours now, very pleased with it. Needed a unit that could handle my 4 ohm Axiom speakers. Much more powerful than my old Denon.” --minorc
Harman Kardon AVR320 Audio/Video Receiver
“I've had this receiver for over 11 years and it's still working perfectly. I purchased it directly from Harman Kardon and have loved using it over the years. Some complain about its lack of power or its inability to handle anything more than 5.1 sound, but I find both arguments invalid. The sound that is produced is rich and has a lot of power behind it. I have never lacked for volume when...” --Spartan 1771

Yamaha RX-V673 Receiver
“I am upgrading from a 10 year old sony str-db870. I am no audiophile but love my music and movies. This receiver does fill that void. For the price, it has a ton of great features that makes me question why I waited so long. I have it setup in a 14x16' family room with a vaulted ceiling and solid oak floors. For speakers, I am using Paradigm Atom, Mini and SE center. The Sub is a 12" powered...” --schambo
Yamaha RX-A2010 Receiver
“I upgraded from the RX-V990 to this AVR. Multizone functionality is very nice. I like being able to use the iPhone app to control the other zones. The lack of AirPlay was not a huge deal. I have an Apple TV to make up for that. The next iteration, the RX-A2020 doesn't have Pandora, Sirius IR, etc etc. So I'm glad I didn't wait for it. YPAO is very useful. I switch between YPAO Flat...” --CaptainVideoJW
Sony STRDH830 Sony 3D 7.1 Channel A/V Receivers
“there is a learning curve I had to go through from my old sony AVR from old Montgomery Wards. some kids may have never heard of them,Wards that is. it was a oldie STR-D615 still strong. the new 830 coupled with my new 55HX850 and in a 17' by 20' room with 7.1 speakers. the learning curve was because there is no 7.1 speaker configuration in the setup menu. but it does have 5/2.1 and 3/4.1 setups...” --eaamon
YAMAHA HTR-7065
“Purchased the HTR-7065 from Costco a couple of weeks ago. I needed to replace a 12 year old functioning Pioneer VSX-D711 AVR with no HDMI so I could install an Optoma ML500 projector. The Pioneer was an entry level 5.1 with a list price of $365 and I probably paid $180. All this is to say take my review with a grain of salt, however, I really am enjoying the sound of this new Yamaha compared...” --AudB
