| The Bottom Line | The Sony STR-DN1030 is the only midrange AV receiver with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it one of best receiver values this year. | The Denon AVR-1913 has a solid set of features and excellent sound quality, but competing AV receivers offer better value. | Basic specs | ||
