Unprecedented AV Quality
High-end receivers support all the latest audio and video technologies. Those include 4K and 8K video formats and HDR for the ultimate clarity, color depth, and contrast. Even if you don’t have content in those formats, their video upscaling software improves even the quality of standard or HD content.
For audio, these receivers include all the relevant 3D formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Some receivers also offer additional sound mapping, which helps signals move according to your room layout. Finally, the high-performance models we use have more watts per channel to let you enjoy powerful sound without sacrificing quality.
Seamless Control of Your AV
The purpose of your home theater receivers is to bring all your technology together. So, working with receivers with many inputs and outputs is important. Inputs let you connect all your sources, including media servers, Blu-ray players, and cable boxes, while outputs connect to your projector, flatscreen, and speakers. We also look for models with wireless capabilities to access all your video and music streaming services easily.
Additionally, high-performance models are compatible with the leading smart home platforms. By integrating with systems like Control4, you can move beyond the traditional remote. Use dedicated touchpads, smart remotes, or voice commands to start your movie.
A Theater Tailored to You
Unlike entry-level models, high-end AV receivers allow for greater customization to gear your audio and video to your spatial restraints and content preferences. The receivers we work with include room correction technology and advanced audio calibration options. They also have input and output settings for easy identification and configuration for diverse speaker setups. For example, to differentiate between stereo and Dolby Atmos sound.
What makes the home theater receivers we use great also makes them complex in inexperienced hands. That’s why we recommend working with a professional to integrate these into a custom-designed theater that includes all your favorite sources and is optimized for your space’s acoustics.
