I suggest more reviews of recent, entry level, multi-channel AVRs (typically 7.2 nowadays, less commonly 5.2) would be useful to people getting started with their home audio / theater hobby. There are a fair number of reviews of other types of entry level gear, such as loudspeakers, but not so much AVRs. Also, I suspect that the entry level is where some of the biggest performance differences between models and manufacturers will be found, maybe "acceptable" to "awful". I realize this depends to a large extent on whether forum members volunteer to send any of these models in for testing. Here are examples from the Amazon "Best Sellers in Audio Component Receivers" list.
