AVRs for Home Cinema Flexibility

The essential foundation of every premium home cinema installation is a multi-channel processor, but an Audio Video Receiver (AVR) is still the preferred option for the majority of systems due to the performance available at a lower price. A high-quality AVR offers in-built amplification and incorporates further options for fine-tuning to enhance the user experience – and yet with pre-outs also provides scope for upscaling a client’s entertainment options by adding power amps for primary channels where desired.

At AWE, as well as high-end AV processor and power amplifier options, we offer a range of high-quality AVR options from the worlds leading brands – including AWE exclusive models from Denon and Marantz – to ensure our customers can build the perfect home cinema for every client.
