Review 3 of 112
Price Paid:
$450.00
from Canada Summary:
If you insist on having a Home Theatre
set-up,then this reciever is probably just as good as any out there in the same price range.However,if music is more your thing,then don't do it!Untill you get into much bigger bucks,there is nothing in the marketplace that actually sounds good.
My advice is simple.Unless you are willing to spend $2000 or more for proper HT amplification,then don't even try.A good amp/reciever,preferably not Asian,will provide most of the boom and bang that you want from HT,but will give you a whole lot better music.
As for this HT reciever,well,I have very little good to say about it cuz it just sounds plain ordinary.If yer into lots of bells and whistles,then this unit is for you.If you want to impress your friends with the name/look/display/etc,then this will do the trick.
But
for sound quality,it's a no-show.
I have used some pretty good sorces for it(Rotel RCD 971,Cambridge cd,a couple others borrowed for comparison)Some top-notch speakers,good interconnects,cables etc,and this thing just didn't perform. Strengths:
Lots of neet buttons and dials(2 rating is cuz a 12yearold would
like the fancy lights and buttons.... Weaknesses:
Lots of neet buttons and dials..
And a truely horrible remote,which is not something I usually take much stock in,but this one is soooo bad......
