Reviews

£ 270

This is a fine, musical, simple 5.1 AV receiver, with a smart design, but it lacks power and bottom-end grunt

£ 2700

A great receiver in many ways and, if you can afford one, well worth your consideration

£ 650

Outputs for two subwoofers don't make up for an underwhelming specification at this price

£ 600

Big, exciting sound, but lacking high-def audio decoding

£ 4750

The Pathos Cinema X will astound you with its no-compromise approach to sound reproduction

£ 350

The 540R v3 is capable of lighting a fire under any film or music you care to play
