Holiday Special - Home Theater Receivers

Here is a great gift idea for the home theater fanatic in your family. The Home Theater Receiver (also referred to as a Surround Sound or AV Receiver) is the heart of a home theater system. It not only provides power to the speakers, but serves as an integrated control center for all of your components, often times providing both audio and video switching. Today's home theater receivers pack in a lot of features and functionality for the home theater enthusiast. If you think that a home theater receiver might be just the right holiday gift, check out my suggestions for home theater receivers in all price ranges $399 or Less, $400 to $1,299, and $1,300 and Up.
