Another excellent AV receiver from Harmon Kardon, easy to use with a wide range of features and a slick design.

By modern standards it may be considered a slightly 'old' unit, lacking the latest in home entertainment technology, but for those looking for a great quality receiver, the AVR 245 is hard to pass up.

Finding any faults with this unit is nearly impossible. If you can afford it, it comes very highly recommended.

The ideal AV receiver for a home theatre enthusiast

A media receiver, amplifier and radio tuner-in-one that's ideal for high-end home theatre installations. Although priced higher than standard media streamers, it clearly offers a whole lot more.

If you have the cash and are looking for something to blow you through the back wall of your living room, this is definitely the receiver to get.

A fantastic effort from Marantz. It has excellent features and reasonable power in a small package.

The Onkyo TX-SR701 represents superb value for money and can't be faulted in terms of features or performance.

The TX-SR805 can provide some of the best audio you're likely to hear outside a theatre — once you've managed to set it up.

A fully featured AV receiver with all the features we could ask for.
