The Bottom Line Despite skimpy connectivity and a low power rating, Harman Kardon's new entry-level receiver is a sonic thoroughbred. The Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K delivers an excellent feature set and outstanding sound quality for its price, making it our top midrange AV receiver pick so far. This higher-end receiver packs the latest futuristic features and great sound into a stylish package. Fresh style, plenty of features, and surprisingly powerful sound distinguish HK's midline receiver. The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured midrange AV receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality.
