Each unit is hand-crafted in Canada and Anthem products routinely achieve some of the best bench test results that Audioholics President Gene DellaSala has ever seen.

Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2-CH AV Receiver

MSRP: $2,799.00 Sale Price: $1,999.00 BUY NOW! | Review

This 11.2 channel AVR earns the moniker of beast, not just for its powerful 140W amplification but also for the features included in an AVR at this price range. The RZ line of premium AV receivers have received praise for its terrific value from all corners of the Internet and the TX-RZ70 is Onkyo's best yet. This AVR has six rear 8K/60-Hz HDMI 2.1 inputs and an extra convenience front-facing HDMI port at 4K/60-Hz, all feature Dolby Vision, HDR10+. With Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro 3D and also features FREE Dirac Live microphone room correction and studio grade processing with ESS Sabre DACs, THX® Certification, and eARC functionality. But best of all, Audioholics' recent review cites the TX-RZ70 as achieving the BEST bench test results we’ve seen in its price class. Now the value this AVR brings just got sweeter this Black Friday after knocking $799 off the price.

Arylic H50 Wireless Stereo Amplifier

MSRP: $249 Sale Price: $199.20 BUY NOW! | Review B50

Discount is calculated at checkout. Arylic's 2024 Black Friday sale gives you 20% off everything in the store or 25% off if you spend $500 or more.

We've seen Arylic grow over the years from a DIY wireless electronics parts shop selling hardware to let you build your own devices, similar to Raspberry Pi kits. But Arylic has forged ahead with many of its own powerful mini-components. Enter the H50 Wireless Stereo Amp! The H50 has the amplifier power and capabilities of last year's B50 with several significant upgrades, including an LED screen. Wireless support includes WiFi at 2.4 & 5G, Bluetooth 5.2 w/ Qualcomm QCC3040 chip for aptX HD, supports AirPlay and built-in support for a variety of streaming music services & Internet radio. But it's also a 2-CH amplifier with 50WPC and a high quality DAC featuring the Sabre ESS9023p with digital optical, HDMI inputs with LAN and USB ports. A true Swiss army knife of digital sound with separate Bluetooth and WiFi antennas.

SVS SB-2000 Pro Subwoofer

MSRP: $899.99 Sale Price: $699.99 BUY NOW! | Review

This Black Friday, SVS is shaking-up listening rooms everywhere with its Seismic Black Friday at the SVS Store where you can save on a variety of SVS speaker systems that includes one of the best deals on the SB-2000 Pro.

SVS Prime Pinnacle Floorstanding Loudspeakers

MSRP: $899/ea Sale Price: $749/ea. BUY NOW! | Review

As mentioned, the SVS Store is running its Seismic Black Friday Savings and we must mention the loudspeakers that impressed James so much in his 2019 review, back when they were the SVS flagship tower speakers. Of course, SVS built a new flagship tower in 2024, the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle that also thoroughly impressed James. But the advent of a replacement product means that it's a great time to save big on a pair of SVS's 2019 flagships that never went out of style, and has never cost so little this Black Friday. These are serious 3-way speakers that weigh-in at almost 60-lbs each! These speakers were designed with so much attention to detail every part is built to the highest standards and the three ports along the back are due to each segment of the speakers getting their own separately tuned enclosure. Larson's review notes enveloping soundstage and highly controlled very powerful bass response from its three 6.5" bass drivers. In fact, he said he was at a loss to find any drawbacks to these speakers at all. That's unprecedented today for tower speakers that will run you only $1500 for the pair.

Denon AVR-X3800H 9.4 CH 105W Audio Video Receiver

MSRP: $1,699.00 Sale Price: $1,275.00 BUY NOW! | Preview

This AVR could be Black Friday's sleeper hit of the year. The DENON X-series hit the market in 2020 as the first 8K ready AVRs. Just four years later we can get great deals on these AVRs without wanting for updated technology. The X-Series were designed with compatibility with emerging video technologies like HDR10+, Dolby Vision™ , and 8K. This makes it a great choice for today's audio/video applications such as movies, gaming and, in true Denon fashion, musical accuracy with plenty of punch. That punch is provided by Denon's legendary build quality that provides the X3800H nine discrete power amplifiers for 105-WPC at 2CH driven. With 6 HDMI-inputs and 3-out and 4 independent subwoofer outs, this AVR will fit nicely into today's entertainment systems. The AVR-X3800H is the X-Series' mid-tier AVR that hits the sweet spot in performance and affordability—with about $400 extra affordability this Black Friday!

RSL Speedwoofer 10E

MSRP: $300 Sale Price/Power Buy: $274 BUY NOW! | Review

We've saved what could be Black Friday's most lopsided steal for (almost) last, the RSL Speedwoofer 10E, a great sub at an astonishing $300 MSRP. Add RSL's Black Friday Power Buy discount and free shipping anywhere in continental USA and you've got a crazy deal on a subwoofer from one of America's premium speaker companies. RSL has two different ways to save this Black Friday. Tier Savings: Takes an escalating percent off the price at checkout when you spend over $500. Speedwoofer Power Buy: Click the ‘Start a Power Buy’ button on RSL’s site and follow the steps to receive a Power Buy code. A minimum purchase of (8) 10E’s using that code is required to receive the Power Buy Credit. Be sure to enter the code at checkout. When the minimum requirement has been met, RSL will issue a $20/unit Power Buy credit on each order. If 12 or more units are ordered using that Power Buy code, RSL will bring the price down to $274 each! The Power Buy discount makes the Speedwoofer 10E a practical steal at only $274. Speedwoofer 10E is a 10" sub with 300-Watts of power, capable of reaching 800-Watt peaks. We reviewed the Speedwoofer 10E in August and James was thoroughly impressed with its value-to-performance, scoring a full 5-out-of-5 in value and a 4.5 in performance. This Speedwoofer 10E is a high performance sub that punches well above its driver-size!

Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro True Wireless Earbuds

MSRP: $129.99 Sale Price: $99.99 BUY NOW!

If high-end loudspeakers aren't in your budget this year, we present possibly the best budget true wireless earbuds available, Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro. Incredible levels of noise cancelling only scratches the surface. Soundcore's store has Black Friday discounts on a variety of items, including wireless headphones and earbuds—all priced to move! 

Who is Soundcore? After a significant rebrand in 2022, Soundcore seemed to come out of nowhere as it started making converts across America for its Liberty line of earbuds. Soundcore's parent company Anker is a Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer that has specialized in computing peripherals for years before stepping into audio. The ironically named "Liberty Pro" are Soundcore's premium line of true wireless earbuds that feature LDAC for Bluetooth at high-resolutions. The most significant feature about Soundcore's Liberty Pro lineup is the app you'll use to control your earbuds. Soundcore's app brings autistic-levels of attention to detail in tweaks, EQ modes and settings to customize your sound. The amount of options may almost seem overwhelming at first, but it's love at first sight if you're an audio tweaker who loves to make adjustments. The app will even walk you through a sound-check to create an EQ profile customized to your hearing. And did I mention noise cancelling? These don't just feature ANC, they have several levels of ANC that increase intensity to block specific ranges of frequencies. What's more is the ANC levels/transparency modes are controlled wirelessly through the case while you're wearing the earbuds. Soundcore also offers solid software support with regular updates and appear to be reactive to bugs or problems users encounter. The software engineers seemed to think of conveniences we didn't even know we needed! I predict that some of Soundcore's innovations will be imitated by more upscale audio brands in the near future. But for now, Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro brings all those innovations for a price anyone can afford this Black Friday.
