Rank Most Popular Titles
1 Onkyo TX-SR606 (black)
The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.
2 Sony STR DA5300ES
With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface, and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.
3 Denon AVR-3808CI
The Denon AVR-3808CI AV receiver is absolutely packed with functionality and sounds great, but you'll need to be an AV geek to unlock all its potential.
4 Sony STR-DG920
5 Philips NP1100/37
The Philips NP1100/37 lacks the bells and whistles of some other network digital audio players, but it should satisfy those looking for basic streaming on a budget.
6 Sony STR-DG820
7 Denon AVR-1909
8 Pioneer Elite VSX-91TXH
The Pioneer Elite VSX-91TXH AV receiver delivers excellent audio quality and a host of cutting-edge features, but competing models offer even better values at this price point.
9 Yamaha RX-V661
The Yamaha RX-V661 is a solid, budget AV receiver with HD switching, but it's a tough sell when competing models with next-generation HDMI 1.3 features are available for just a few dollars more.
10 Onkyo TX-SR705 (black)
11 Denon AVR-888
12 Onkyo TX-SR605 (black)
The Onkyo TX-SR605 raises the bar for AV receivers by delivering an amazing number of next-generation audio and video features at an unbeatably low price.
13 Onkyo HT-S6100
14 Grace ITC-IR1000B Wireless Internet Radio (black)
A few minor flaws notwithstanding, the Grace Wireless Internet Radio is a great Wi-Fi radio at a relatively affordable price.
15 Delphi SkyFi3 (XM)
The Delphi SkyFi3 XM receiver/recorder is a flexible solution for home, car, and on the go for those who don't want to spend big bucks.
16 Pioneer Elite VSX-90TXV
17 Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo-i (midnight/gray)
The Boston Acoustics Horizon Duo-i is a great-sounding AM/FM/iPod clock radio with plenty of customization and connectivity options.
18 Stanton T.90 USB Turntable
Although it's not a one-size-fits-all product, the Stanton T.90 turntable is a great tool for today's modern DJ--seamlessly bridging the worlds of analog and digital audio.
19 Audio-Technica AT-LP2D-USB LP-to-Digital Recording System - turntable
20 Denon AVR-2808CI
21 Denon AVR-2807
The Denon AVR-2807's keen balance of superb sound, gotta-have HDMI features, and an affordable price put it in the sweet spot in the company's line.
22 Onkyo TX-SR805 (silver)
The Onkyo TX-SR805 is an all-around excellent AV receiver with plenty of audiophile appeal, but its less-than-ideal video performance may give HDTV aficionados a reason to hold out for higher-end alternatives.
23 Sony STR-DG720
24 Pioneer Inno (XM)
The Pioneer Inno is compact, gets great reception, and lets you enjoy live satellite audio and your own tracks on the go. Better battery life and more storage would make this XM portable even better.
25 ZeeVee ZvBox Zv-100
While the ZvBox succeeds in delivering any Web- or PC-based videos to your TV, the system's convoluted setup and laggy control scheme make it hard to recommend--especially at this price.
