Stereo & AV Receivers

Audio Receivers & AV Receivers

A quality AV receiver should be the centerpiece of every home theater system. It serves as the control center for audio and video sources, sending the content where it needs to go. Audio signals go to speakers, visual content head to your TV. An audio or stereo receiver serves a similar function but without video passthrough capabilities.

With TVs getting thinner every year, built-in speakers can't compete with the clarity of a set of high-fidelity speakers. A surround sound system offers a level of immersion that's hard to understate. But even a pair of speakers and a stereo receiver provides a dramatic improvement to a TV's onboard audio. Just know that stereo receivers only work for audio, requiring you to connect video devices directly to your TV.

If you're looking for the best entertainment experience, an audio & video receiver is a must. New technologies like Dolby Atmos bring audio into three dimensions by adding a vertical element to surround sound. Similarly, Dolby Vision, HLG, and a slew of other High Dynamic Range video formats provide a new palette of colors. You'll see new details in your favorite movies and shows with the clarity of 4K HDR.
