A receiver is at the heart of any home theater setup, linking all of your speakers, home theater components, and other devices. Receivers, also known as amplifiers, come in a variety of types, including integrated, integrated-amp, surround-sound, and component.

Integrated receivers are the simplest type of receiver, consisting of just one circuit board that plugs into your home theater setup. Integrated receivers are inexpensive, but they lack connectivity and customization options. Integrated-amp receivers are the next step up, offering connectivity and customization options, but at a more affordable price.

Surround-sound receivers are the next step up, offering connectivity and customization options, but at a more affordable price. These receivers usually consist of multiple circuit boards, each of which is dedicated to a specific function, such as surround sound. Component receivers are the most complex type of receiver, offering connectivity and customization options, but at a higher price.

In 2022, Atmos receivers are the latest trend in home theater. These receivers allow you to place speakers all around you, creating a truly immersive surround sound experience.

In the MOOZ Reviews Lab, we test receivers for performance, such as sound quality, connectivity, and ease of use. Our top pick is the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX81, which is ideal for any home theater setup.
