Review Summary |
The Denon AVR-3808 A/V receiver is absolutely packed with functionality and sounds great, but you'll need to be an A/V geek to unlock all its potential. |
The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured midrange A/V receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality. |
The Samsung HT-BD8200 is a truly solid performer and is worth considering if it fits in with your current equipment stylistically. But it's not the best-specced machine in terms of connectivity. |
With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price. |
