- Onkyo HT-RC160
- Photo gallery:Onkyo HT-RC160Comparing the features of competing AV receivers is already a difficult chore, but many manufacturers, such as Denon and Yamaha, invite more complexity by offering two lines of nearly identical AV receivers: a custom-install-friendly line and a more-consumer-based line. For better or worse, Onkyo has followed suit with...

- Sony STR-DN1000
- Photo gallery:Sony STR-DN1000Last year, Sony's STR-DG920 was our top midrange AV receiver pick.

The STR-DN1000 is the STR-DG920's successor, featuring a new sleek design...

- Klipsch HD Theater 500
- Few speaker manufacturers know as much about true movie theater sound as Klipsch. The Indianapolis-based company starting making speakers for movie theaters decades before the words "home" and "theater" were ever uttered together in the same sentence. But for better or worse, the company's home products had a reputation for...

- Mirage MX 5.1
- Just when we thought satellite/subwoofer systems couldn't get any smaller, along comes the ultracompact Mirage MX 5.1 retailing for $1,200. (Mirage calls it a "Home Theater System," but it's really just a surround speaker package that requires a separate AV receiver/amplifier.) Just how small is it? Each MX satellite speaker...

- Judging from our past encounters with speaker manufacturer Energy, it's no secret that we think the company makes terrific small speakers. We recently raved about the amazingly tiny RC-Micro 5.1 System ($1,000) and mentioned how it actually reminded us of the original Energy Take 5 satellite/subwoofer system we reviewed in...

- Panasonic is hardly the first name we think of when it comes to AV receivers. It's been years since we last saw one, so we weren't sure what to expect from Panasonic's latest entry, the SA-BX500. Depending on your taste, the look is tastefully conservative or just downright boring. The...
