"Like the current Nissan Micra, Onkyo's splendid new entry-level receiver is a fundamentally okay-looking machine buried under countless design embellishments. Don't, whatever you do, let its likeness to a mid-1970s 'music centre' blind your to its ability." Review details: Single Test   → Test results

"We were impressed with the £1000 Marantz SR7001 receiver we tested in our January issue, commenting that it was one of the company's best home cinema efforts for some time, packing a comprehensive specification, solid build and a 'resolute and authoritative' sound. The SR8001 aims to build on that success." Review details: Single Test   → Test results

"As we've hopefully made clear over the last few months, the next generation of video players is about more than just the vision - the sound side of things should be making giant leaps, too. The huge-capacity discs mean there's room for uncompressed sound-tracks with improved encoding, alongside the (hopefully) better video performance. This AV receiver from Panasonic sets some firsts for surround sound receivers in relation to the new technology." Review details: Single Test   → Test results
