Independent testing
How much independent testing exists for each av receiver
Of the 7 av receivers we track, 0 have been physically measured by at least one independent lab. Below is every one, ordered by how much independent hands-on evidence stands behind it — densest first.
A coverage record, not a ranking of which is best.

|---|---|---|---|
| Denon AVR-X3800H | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Denon AVR-X4800H | 0 | 0 | 1 |

| Marantz Cinema 50 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Marantz Cinema 70s | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Sony STR-AN1000 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Each figure is a count of what independent testers actually did — how we count. A low count means little independent evidence has been gathered yet, never that a product is worse. See also the AV Receivers buying guide and the reviewers we cite.
