This wasn't easy. Our receivers were the top selling brand in Canada and America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur receivers were already close to perfect when it comes to price performance ratio, and our meticulious construction techniques meant the best reliability in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- We cleaned up the front panel - removing the nightmare of buttons that are the bane of every user. We put them on an app where they belong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe focus on modern features like multy-user Bluetooth for ease of use for music streaming. \u003cspan\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth Multipoint lets you pair two devices and instantly switch between them—perfect for use with your smartphones, tablets and laptops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWifi music streaming is built in, no need to buy a separate streamer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a first-time buyer that wants to go beyond a soundbar and get real surround sound, someone setting up a living room or den, or a buyer who wants Atmos and modern HDMI without a significant investment, these are solid products that do what they promise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWho it is not for: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing honest - Both the RX300A and RX500A are entry-level products. If you are building a serious home theater with quality speakers, dedicated acoustic treatment, and a multi-thousand dollar system investment, neither of these receivers is the right answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier sections may struggle with power-hungry or inefficient speakers. The room correction does not compete with Audyssey MultEQ XT32 or Dirac Live in terms of accuracy. Neither receiver has pre-amp outputs for adding external amplification later. And at 70 watts into 8 ohms, the headroom you need for a large room or demanding speakers is not there. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor that buyer, look at options starting around $1500-$2000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut for an apartment, or an entry level system that Wows, this is
