Yamaha - lived in Japan everyone thought they were the better of the mid-level brands. Also, consistently good reviews.

b. Marantz. It used to be Pioneer Elite because of their great class D amplification, but I bought the SC-95 a few years back and the UI and HDMI 4K/HDR/HFR handling has been unacceptable. I've never had problems with Marantz and their sound quality is second to none. I'd sure love to replace that SC-95.....

As someone who has to deal with different receivers all the time, I've had the most success over the years with Denon. I am also happy with Yamaha products, but they aren't my go-to. Marantz and Denon, being sister companies really deliver similar goods with a more premium lean towards Marantz, so I use them when I am going with separates in a system or if I need a compact A/V receiver. I love their compact receivers! I wish more companies had them.

So, yeah, the first three are my big three and I respect their products very equally.

Onkyo. A lot of features and affordable.

 

[Anilkumar]

Marantz, love their new stuff and their vintage stuff. This would definitely be the basis of a great home system

 

[MattAsAHatter]

Denon. Value, convenience, and familiarity. I also had a rock solid mid level Onkyo that made it 10 years. I'm not opposed to finding another favorite!

B) Marantz

 

[Dcleary]

Integra, love the custom installation options and the price was right at the time. Marantz would be at least as good.

 

[Irvrobinson]

Huh?? You mean the 1950s.

 

[ballisonmt]

Yamaha - low noise, clean, solid amplifiers for many years

 

[Bluebile]

Yamaha. Because I think Yamaha is the most reliable brand for the price.

 

[Algaer]

You are probably correct. I thought they went back to the late 40's. I'm getting old I guess, my memory doesn't always serve me well these days.

 

[Jknezovich]

My last purchase was Denon (4500H), based on value.

 

[Paul DS]

Denon - I've had good luck with their products so far!

I see alot of people choosing denon probably on price but the marantz and denon seem so alike to me, but if I had to choose screw price. Lol marantz all day! I had to visit bestbuy and had to go through 5 receivers til i found marantz to be the one for me. So B. I choose B. Price was down 200 dollars but the quality on sound and surround was exactly what I needed. But like all audio heads...now I want more, newer setup and a more powerful receiver. Lol 11.2 channel setup and I dont know why, 7.2 doesnt seem enough anymore. Svs speakers are on my mind, especially that 2500 dollar 16inch subwoofer...(itll be mine soon) hahaha

 

[Oregontekman]

Denon is my brand but Marantz will be my upgrade for Home Theater

 

[Imbob]

Marantz is uncompromised for value

 

[vancobra]

Marantz..
Feed the speakers with the power without external amplifier..

Yamaha for their processing. Followed by Marantz.

Pioneer is good for me. It has 6 hdmi ports with 4k resolution, ARC, 1 USB port (front), 7.1 channels, internet radio, bluetooth, it also has various listening modes, such as DTS Neural:X, Neo:6 Cinema, and a phono connection for your old school record player.
