NOTES
Receivers are sorted after year released and max power output. Power output is grouped LOW, MID, HIGH, MEGA.
Power Output is based on the US specified AMP draw times 120V. European specifications are different and not a good determining factor
for peak power capability.
Red lines indicate major generation or design-shifts. First line represents a design and technology shift, that started with the CI-series.
Second line represents the current IN COMMAND-series with app-control and more technical features and a new naming convention.
Audio format release years are not the same as they exist on the receiver that year, most likely the year after.
2005 Produced the AVC-5805ci, a 44kg, 1550W Amplifier that was competing with the Yamahas mighty Z9.
2009 AVP-A1HD and the 10 ch power amp POA-A1HD is possibly the most powerful home cinema combo ever made.
2010 produced the 4810ci, the last of a decade long reign in the MEGA AVR category. After that, power significantly decreased in favor of
more features and cheaper designs. (Power draw can't be cheated - however, circuit designs can be lighter through thinner and more
durable component materials. But if the PSU can't deliver, sustained peak is impossible.)
If you miss a model, send me a note.
Names may differ, especially for the 5000 series that was named A1 in Europe and elsewhere. Also AVR-1082 is an odd exception.
