A few days ago we told you about the end of Onkyo, the mythical Japanese electronics brand that said goodbye as it could not cope with its losses. With the fall of Onkyo, we have also said goodbye to one of the brands that we considered the most when buying an AV receiver. If you have a large multimedia system and are looking to organize it with one of these devices, these are the best alternatives you can find currently on the market:
The best AV receivers you can buy in 2022
These are the best AV receivers you can find right now:
Denon AVC-X3700H
There are brands that are dedicated to improving their products year after year, although no one ever asks for it. And this is the case of the Denon AVC-X3700H, which surpasses the previous generation, a product that was awarded at the time and that already seemed unbeatable.
This model has 9 channels, a power of 180 watts per channel and support for Dolby Atmos. Have 7 tickets HDMI and three outputs compatible with HDCP 2.3, allowing a output up to three screens simultaneously. In addition, it has support with eARC and is ready for screens 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz.
Marantz NR1711
Very much in line with the previous one, this low-profile Marantz model is one of the most complete that we will find. can be configured to give Atmos sound 5.1.2 with a stable power of 50 watts on each channel. It also has 6 HDMI inputs, one of them with 2.1 support, that is, 8K/60 and 4K/120 compatible. Also, if you don’t have a very complex speaker setup, you can simulate the experience using Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Virtual.
Sony STR-DN1080
If you don’t need support for HDMI 2.1, this Sony model continues to measure up, despite losing compatibility with 8K screens and the high refresh rate on 4K screens. However, it is a team with 7 channels, support Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 and with a more than excellent quality. Currently it cannot compete with more recent equipment, but it is still an interesting model.
Denon AVR-X4700H
Without a doubt, the best team on the entire list. It has 8 tickets sound, 3 outlets Y eARC support. Its sound management is practically second to none. It is the ideal model if we are building a system from scratch and we want to be up to date for the coming years.
Pioneer Elite VSX-LX504
We close with another model that does not have support for 8K or 4K 120Hz screens, but is still suitable for 5.2.4 or 7.2.2 configurations. Have 7 tickets HDMI and 2 outlets.
Its features include sharpness, quite common in Pioneer. It supports Chromecast and Google Assistant, which makes it ideal if you use this assistant at home.
