Review summary	Onkyo's TX-SR605 simply has a better future-proof specification on paper and sounds better in practice than any other rival AV receiver in its class -- an absolute winner Read full review	We've given this excellent machine a score of 9, but it comes with the obvious 'but', which is simply that it's far too expensive. £900 is more than enough to buy a £300 freesat PVR and a £200 Blu-ray player and still have pots of cash left over. Sure, the Blu-ray recording is unique, but is it really that valuable to you? Read full review	We've tested several stand-alone video players, but the Mvisto trounces them all. Its support for a huge range of video codecs is reason enough to lust after the device. Not content to stop there, Mvisto have designed an on-screen navigation system that puts most media centres to shame Read full review	While some home cinema systems are Jacks of all trades, Pioneer's LX01 attempts to master everything from watching and listening to recordings -– but unrivalled features and high-end performance come at an inflated price Read full review
