Home Theater Receivers

Currently, we have 57 Home Theater Receivers in our database. Below you can find the list with their main specs and links to their review pages.

A home theater receiver decodes surround formats and drives five to fifteen channels from one chassis, with HDMI switching and room correction built in. The power figures are quoted with two channels driven, so they are not directly comparable to a stereo amplifier's continuous rating - with every channel working, expect meaningfully less per channel.

Home Theater Receivers - frequently asked questions

What is a Home Theater Receiver?

A home theater receiver decodes surround formats and drives five to fifteen channels from one chassis, with HDMI switching and room correction built in. The power figures are quoted with two channels driven, so they are not directly comparable to a stereo amplifier's continuous rating - with every channel working, expect meaningfully less per channel.

How much power do these have?

The 57 Home Theater Receivers listed here run from 50 to 150 watts RMS into 8 ohms, with a median of 110 watts. For most rooms and most speakers the median is already more than enough - doubling the watts buys about 3dB, which is a small step in loudness. Sensitivity and impedance decide more than the number on the box.

What do they cost?

Currently $400 to $9,500, with a median of $1,849. Prices are the current asking price we hold, not a sale price, and they change - check the retailer before deciding.

Which features should I check for?

32 have a phono stage for a turntable.
