| The Bottom Line | This receiver's combination of up-to-the-minute features, potent power reserves, and superlative sound quality is hard to beat. | 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. | If you can overlook its poor analog video conversion, the Onkyo TX-SR607 offers up a ton of HDMI connectivity and excellent sound quality for a midrange AV receiver. | This midpriced Onkyo has the sound quality, the flexible features, and the design excellence reminiscent of a megabuck 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. |
