We recently switched our go-to value receiver to the Pioneer VSX-820-K. For under $300, it packs in a great deal of features. But it also makes some sacrifices to get the cost down that low. So for those who want to step up to a 7.1 receiver, we decided to check out the Pioneer VSX-1120-K. Right now it’s just over $200 more at a street price of $535.
Aug 6 Ever since we talked about Dolby Pro Logic IIz and Audyssey DSX in Episode 425, we've had a strong desire to experience them for ourselves. And what better excuse is there to buy a new receiver than the new "9.1" surround options? That brought us to the Onkyo TX-SR608 home theater receiver. It's a 7.1 receiver that will do just about everything you want, and a little more.
Jun 18 Podcast, Review Tags: Dolby, Receiver, Surround Sound Every Fall, just before Christmas, we do a receiver buying guide to help our audience decide on what to buy. Last Fall our value receiver was an Onkyo SR607 which sold for $320. After spending time with the Pioneer VSX-820-K ($280) we have a new king! The VSX-820-K is a 5.1 system that has 4 HDMI inputs and does next generation audio.
May 14 Podcast Tags: Audysssey, Dolby, Speakers, Surround Sound We came across an article at Home Theater Magazine about the various 7.1 speaker configurations available today. It got us thinking. Do we take the standard 7.1 configuration: 3 in the front, 2 on the sides, 2 in the back, for granted? If we could put the speakers anywhere we wanted to, where would they go?
Oct 16 Podcast, Review Tags: DLNA, Dolby, Harmony, Media Server, Remote Control We'll admit it, there are other companies that make remote controls. We decided to try one this week. The Prestigo 8008 is a cool remote with a color screen, but how does it stack up to the entry level Harmony 510? Excellent question.
And we had a chance this week to take a look at the CinemaTube from brite-View. It's a network media player that supports full 1080p/60 video and Dolby Digital and DTS audio, so it's right up our alley. After all, who wants to stream video if you can't get it in high def?
