Best AV Receivers Reviewed and Ranked by Bestcovery.com

May 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Bestcovery.com, a website that uses experts to review and rank the best products and services, is proud to announce the release of its updated 2010 AV Receiver product awards. Bestcovery’s experts, made up of professionals and product enthusiasts, are some of the most knowledgeable and trusted individuals in their respective fields.

To help meet the needs of a variety of consumers with differing budgets, Bestcovery has recommended the best AV receivers in three specific segments: Best AV Receiver Overall, Best AV Receiver Under $500, and Best High-end AV Receiver. "When shopping for an AV receiver, there are a number of factors to take into account such as sound quality, video processing performance, the number of HDMI inputs, and of course, price," said Bestcovery’s AV Receiver Expert. "Consumers are seeking the best possible performance for their money and only want to pay for the features they need, so it’s important that readers are able to find a recommendation that fits within their criteria."

Best AV Receiver Overall

The Pioneer VSX-1020-K Receiver takes top honors as the Best AV Receiver Overall. While there are pricier and more feature-packed receivers on the market, the award for “Best Overall” is given to the Pioneer because of all that it offers for the price. This receiver performs extremely well for the money, is 3D-ready with 6 HDMI 1.4 inputs, and works seamlessly with your iPhone or iPod when using the included cable. This receiver is not only “future-proof”, but also offers a ton of bang-for-the-buck and is available for a very reasonable price.

Best AV Receiver under $500

The winner of the Best AV Receiver under $500 shows up not only as the head of this list, but also ranks number two for Best AV Receiver Overall. The Onkyo TX-SR608 Receiver is THX Select2 Plus certified and offers features and performance not typically found in this price range. With excellent audio and video performance, 6 3D-ready HDMI 1.4 inputs, and the latest processing technologies, it has no problem serving as the heart of home theater systems across the spectrum. Buyers on a budget can rest assured that they won’t be sacrificing performance or features with this top pick.

Best High-end AV Receiver

As the true audiophile knows, there is no price too high when it comes to achieving the best audio and video quality. But you don’t need to mortgage your house for a high-end receiver that offers top-notch performance and cutting edge features. The Denon AVR-4810CI takes the cake as the Best High-end Receiver for its stellar performance and relatively reasonable price tag considering all the features it offers.  With 9.3 channels, a plethora of inputs and outputs for connecting all of your source equipment, and built-in Wi-Fi for streaming audio and music from a PC, this colossal 44 pound receiver has few rivals.
