Panasonic SA-XR50
$225.00
Released January, 2004
The Pros:Amplification is clean and doesn't have any distortion at any point. Converts all analog signals to digital with no setup needed. Setup is fairly easy and handled with just 2 buttons.
The Cons:All-digital processing can be a bit cold and lacks any analog output. Needs a 20-hour break-in period, seems too bright and has too much of a hard edge out of the box. No phono inputs for a turntable.
The Panasonic SA-XR50 is a 6.1 channel slim design A/V receiver offered by Panasonic. This receiver sits just over 3 inches high letting it fit into spaces too small for many other receivers. It has 6 channels, each with 100 watts for plenty of power.
