High End Receivers

"Absolutely recommend, also reasonable price for product, relative to competitors (still high investment)....I used the easy setup with the included calibration microphone as the room is quite odd in shape - 18ft ceilings and an open loft at one end. I paired it with Klipsch reference speakers all around (did not realize they are in the same company now) Seems to work well as the surround is very impressive! "

"They are very clear and high quality. Prior to this purchase, I bought the Arcam AVR 11, and tried the Denon AVR-x3800. ...I enjoy movies and music at high volume levels. Even when operating at those high levels, with all channels driven, there was no clipping, breakup or distortion. "

"Too bad SONY does not make any high ends car Stereo anymore! The last reason.....I chose this model over the KENWOOD is the knobless volume control! ...So far, this is the best performing, sounding and easy to use radio that I have ever owned. I traded up from a high end KENWOOD receiver for this particular unit. "

"Works well with LG tv. sound and everything was great. the only issue is not being able to control via app and functionalities are limited. may be for a reason. I think the price is high for they provide....High quality receiver for budget minded audiophile...Also plays hi[res audio however I don't have a substantial collection of those but having this feature is good for future proofing from my end. I have a couple speakers hooked up to this as well and power/sound are really nice. "

". - He's using Sony Core speakers so not the most high end setup, but once the sub was dialed in it sounded great. ...I've used software like this to tune speakers or headphones before. And years ago my high end receivers had a microphone to do this, but it was not nearly as visual/easy to do.  "

"The AVR11’s attention to detail, from its build quality to sound clarity, sets it apart as a high-performance receiver. If you’re looking for a compact yet powerful solution for your entertainment needs, the Arcam AVR11 is an excellent choice!...I got is on sale price but without sale price is high for most people, for me power is plenty i am using two fronts with Parasound halo a23 plus amp. "

"The sound is wonderful, and these are engineered to be a high-quality 2-channel music amplifier as well....Same funtionality as AVR10 apart from the Dirac correction which wasnt a massive thing for me since my setup isnt incredibly high performance. For this price point, pretty much the best bang for your buck."

"If you can handle a mini-DSP UMIK and have a computer to take the measurements and fit Dirac filters for your room, you will have made > $5k of high-end receiver alternatives obsolete. Make sure you have adequate amplification. ...I highly recommend this if you're on the fence of getting a new higher end AVR."

"Pricey but that what you pay for premium. This is a high end audiophile receiver. Not the most user friendly like Marantz/ Denon etc. but if you prioritize sound quality, this thing is a beast!...Like lost high-end recivers the set up needs to be calibrated. "
