Score: 87/100
Harman Kardon Enchant-1100
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Sony STR-DH770 is a mid-tier 7.2-channel AV receiver that offers powerful amplification, full-stack 4K/HDR pass-through, and convenient Bluetooth/NFC pairing, making it a solid choice for home-theater beginners. Its lack of Wi-Fi, modern streaming protocols, and advanced room-correction features keep it from being future-proof.
The Harman Kardon Enchant-1100 is a premium 9.0.2-channel soundbar that delivers immersive Atmos sound, advanced room calibration and sustainable build quality, but its price and modest maximum output may deter budget-focused buyers.

Professional reviewers praise the STR-DH770 for its strong 145 W per-channel output, reliable 4K HDR pass-through, and user-friendly D.C.A.C. calibration, while noting the lack of Wi-Fi, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and advanced room-correction as drawbacks in 2026.
Everyday users appreciate the powerful sound, seamless Bluetooth/NFC pairing, effective D.C.A.C. calibration, and solid 4K video performance, but complain about missing Wi-Fi/app control, outdated remote, and occasional HDMI overheating.
Professional reviewers praise the Enchant 1100 for its immersive Atmos experience, clear dialogue and flexible modular architecture, while noting the price premium and that it doesn't match the raw output of top-tier rivals like Samsung's Q995F.
