Score: 73/100Rankings
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.
The Yamaha RX-V385 is an entry-level 5.1-channel AV receiver offering solid 100 W amplification and full 4K HDR video support. Its limitations include modest power and the absence of advanced object-based audio formats like Dolby Atmos. Ideal for budget-conscious home-theater beginners who value simplicity and Bluetooth streaming.

Professional reviewers describe the RX-V385 as a solid, affordable entry-level receiver that offers discrete amplification and full 4K video support, but they highlight its modest power output and the absence of premium features like Dolby Atmos, positioning it below Yamaha's mid-range lineup.
Everyday users consistently commend the receiver for its strong value proposition, reliable 5.1 surround performance, and easy Bluetooth streaming, while noting that it is best suited for casual home-theater use rather than high-end audiophile applications.
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.
