Eight Great A/V Receivers for Under $1K
By Arlen Schweiger
We polled members of the AVS Forum for suggestions on buying an A/V receiver for less than $1,000.
Welcome to AVS Forum Recommendsthe holiday shopping season is almost upon us, so we turned to our friends over at the AVS Forum to help out our readers. We're surveying them each week over the next 10 weeks for suggestions in some major electronics categories, so if you're planning on doing some first-time buying or upgrading, you've got a sense of what this group of A/V enthusiasts and DIY theater builders put their trust in.
Since we know not everyone has an unlimited budget, especially this year, we've tried to put a cap on your spending. First up: A/V receivers for under $1,000. We'll be including MSRPs in the slideshow captions, but of course some of you will find much better pricing out there (and if you do, please let our readers know in the comments below).
We're narrowing down the AVS members' choicestheir responses were open-endedto the eight most common receivers they suggested (we'll skip calling them vote-getters officially because they weren't voting on one receiver over any other).
It was pretty clear that Onkyo is considered the reliable, affordable, and quality receiver of choice. The company's models gathered four of the top six spots, with those four receivers combined recommended by nearly 40-percent of those surveyed. Tops among the Onkyo models was the TX-SR606, followed closely by the TX-SR805.
