Score: 78/100
Denon AVR-S670H
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Sony STR-DH590 is an entry-level 5.2-channel AV receiver delivering strong 145 W per-channel power and full-stack 4K 60p HDR including Dolby Vision. Its main drawbacks are the lack of Wi-Fi/Ethernet and limited HDMI inputs, which can restrict network streaming and device connectivity. Ideal for budget-conscious beginners setting up a small-to-medium home theater.
The Denon AVR-S670H is a compact 5.2-channel receiver delivering 8K video, HEOS streaming and Audyssey calibration. Its modest 75 W power and limited channel expansion are trade-offs for the affordable price. Best suited for small-to-medium rooms where future-ready video is a priority.

Professional reviewers praise the STR-DH590 for delivering strong power and full-stack 4K HDR (including Dolby Vision) at a beginner-friendly price, noting its discrete 5-channel amp, easy DCAC calibration, and robust Bluetooth and Hi-Res audio support. However, they also flag the lack of Wi-Fi/Ethernet and limited HDMI inputs as drawbacks for users seeking more networked or multi-device flexibility.
Everyday owners generally like the straightforward Bluetooth streaming, easy 4K setup, and useful FM tuner, but many express disappointment over the limited HDMI ports, absence of a companion app, and missing Wi-Fi/airplay capabilities, describing the interface as dated.
Professional reviewers from Crutchfield, Parts Express and B&H view the AVR-S670H as a solid entry-level option that delivers future-ready 8K video and robust 3D audio decoding, while Audyssey MultEQ and the HEOS ecosystem add real value for small-room installations.
Consumers generally praise the receiver's easy setup, HEOS multi-room streaming and the convenience of the mobile app, while recurring concerns focus on the 75 W power rating and the lack of extra channels for larger Atmos setups.
