Here are some quick tips when buying Receiver:
- The higher SNR (signal to noise ratio), the better the sound quality.
- More watts equal louder sound but 100 watts per channel should be enough for most home systems.
- More speakers can provide a more dramatic surround sound effect but 5.1 or 6.1 system usually provides plenty of sound.
