Reviews for 7.1 Receivers

 
A 7.1 receiver is an important component of any home theater. A 7.1 receiver supports 7 speakers and a subwoofer. Most new 7.1 receivers support the latest audio standards like Dolby and DTS. Some 7.1 receivers have a built-in DVD player, maybe even a Blu-ray player. You can get a 7.1 receiver for a reasonable price. Some 7.1 receivers cost less than $500 and even include speakers. High end 7.1 receivers cost more but offer better audio, more inputs, and other features not found on low-end 7.1

Reviews for this Yamaha receiver (6 expert reviews (rating 66 / 100) • 131 user reviews): "Rivals may offer more features but for the money few can match the V671’s talents with a Blu-ray track...So if you’re a little more serious about your home cinema sound – and have more cash to spend, of course – you’ll need to look further up Yamaha’s range, where you’ll find the RX-V671, a 7.1-channel network-enabled model with greater power and better features...In terms of looks Yamaha hasn’t done much to distinguish the V671 from its other models past and present, but why tamper with a winning formula...Aside from AV sockets, there’s an Ethernet port, an interface for optional Yamaha devices (the YID-W10 wireless iPod/iPhone system or the YBA-10 Bluetooth audio receiver) plus remote control and trigger ports, extra springclips for zone 2 or ‘presence’ speakers (see page 2) and FM/AM antenna inputs..." see less »

Reviews for this Sony receiver (201 user reviews): "The audio and video performance of the Sony STR-DH520 is more than acceptable, especially given it's price and ability to pass 3D content, decode all current audio codecs, and deliver a full seven channels of amplification...Step into the $400 price range and you will find increased value compared with the STR-DH520...The STR-DH520 has a surprising number of features for such a low cost...A good whack would easily dent the enclosure...I tested a wide variety of sources, including broadcast TV, Blu-ray, PS3 games, and streaming movies, and I found the overall sound quality to be far better than I expected and quite acceptable..." see less »
