About Top Tier AV Gear
Top Tier AV Gear looks closely at flagship projectors, separates, speakers and soundbars: what the published measurements and long-term reviews say, where the money goes, and whether the step up is worth it for a demanding listener or viewer.
Who it is for
Enthusiasts and audiophiles comparing flagship models who care about measurements and long-term use.
What we publish
- Flagship analyses. Reference projectors, amplifiers and speakers, read through their published measurements and long-term reviews.
- Is the step up worth it?. What a flagship adds over the model below it, point by point, with the sources linked.
- Amplifier power calculator. How much power your speakers need, from their sensitivity and your listening distance.
How we work
Top Tier AV Gear is written by a small editorial team. Articles are signed by the team rather than by individual names.
- Specifications come from each manufacturer's published information. When we summarise what other publications found, we name them and link to them.
- We only show a score when we say where it comes from and how it was calculated. We do not publish customer ratings we cannot verify.
- When an article is based on our own use of a product, it says so and explains what we did with it. When it is not, it says that too.
- We use software tools to collect and cross-check published sources.
Money
We do not sell products and we do not handle orders. This site shows ads served by Google. Some manufacturers pay us to create content about their brands; when an article covers one of those brands, a disclosure at the top says so. Payments do not decide the specifications we publish or the scores we give.
