The Bottom Line Boasting a host of impressive features and stellar sound quality, the affordable Pioneer VSX-816 delivers amazing value for an A/V receiver. Boasting a host of impressive features and stellar sound quality, the affordable Pioneer VSX-816 delivers amazing value for an A/V receiver. 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.
