In Reply to: Best 5.1 A/V Receiver for under $500? posted by Some Guy on March 14, 2003 at 13:27:25:
Panasonic receivers have rated sonically poor across the board: The best for the buck is the Marantz SR-4300 rated***** in recent What hifi I own & consistently enjoy using the SR-5200 which is superb in all respects sans the Ultra EX DTS 96/24 stuff. It also has superior(for the $) internal dac's.
The only others to consider would be the Denon, Rotel & Yamaha & Sony gear....... Also good things said about Outlaw audio.........
Follow Ups:
Thanks for the recommendations. I've never cared much for Panasonic, but I wasn't sure if the company had done anything lately to change that. I'm glad the hesitancy came through.I used to like Sony, but their quality control issues (even on some of the ES stuff) bothers me. Yamaha has always been one of the better of the mass-market Japanese brands, but I know that they've had a reputation for some harsh sounding amps and how their filters work... moreso on some of the digital processing that they've used.
Rotel and Outlaw I've never heard, but I've read about them briefly... it looks interesting. I had a Denon tape deck years ago that was a trooper until one of the channels cut out. It was a gorgeous deck when it worked. I've also read a lot of great stuff about their amps. My stepfather used to swear by them.
