Home Theater Receiver Reviews; "Receiver Performance Best Picks":
Writing home theater receiver reviews can be a real hassle. There are so many different home theater receivers available that it is nearly impossible to keep up with all the latest and greatest models available. Sometimes I wish these Japanese manufacturers would adopt a more high end approach. High end audio brands only change designs every three to five years. Some HiFi products stick around much longer than that. Receiver Manufacturers are much different though;Each receiver manufacturer has multiple receivers in their audio and video product line. Then they have unique designations like ES, XA, and others to set their better products apart from the common man products. All of this just adds to the confusion of it all. It wouldn’t be so bad if there were only one or two manufacturers to keep track of -as this would only be about 15 to 30 different home theater receiver products. However, there are 15 to 30 receiver manufacturers and each has an average of 15 to 30 home theater receivers available. If this weren’t bad enough each year the companies will roll out their new and improved product lines. It makes me tired just thinking about it. So what happens then is home theater receiver reviews are conducted of only the most popular product lines. Usually, these reviews are conducted and placed within a price category that each receiver fits into. I would be far more comfortable reading a review and buying a product from an average Joe that bought the unit and wrote what he/she thought of it. Getting a good home theater receiver is an important part of the home theater package. Any of your home theater audio and video equipment will contribute to the sound and video quality that you experience in your home. Don’t cut costs on Home Theater Recievers. Read as many home theater receiver reviews that you can get your hands on about the unit which you are interested in. Your efforts will be well rewarded. How to be an intelligent shopper for a New Receiver: Understand the features that you will need and plan ahead. Feature list: Check the receivers you are considering and match their features. Make sure you get one that has all the bells and whistles that you need. Audio performance: Kinda hard to judge this one without hearing the unit. You will have to take my word for it. Video performance: Same as Audio Performance. Specifications: Be careful with these, home theater receiver manufacturers like to be very optimistic with their specs and ratings.

Customer Testimonials:
"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.
My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA
"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.
Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.
I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.
The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.
I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.
The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.
These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)
"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99
"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45
"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254
"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244
"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...
While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182
"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30
"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.
My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26
"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.
Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142
"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!
I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
