StereoNet - "For the most part, I reckon JBL has successfully refreshed the humble AVR with the MA510. It's good to see something different arrive in the AV receiver market. It grabs the category by the scruff of the neck and gives it a thorough shakedown. The design is cool, usability is good, and overall performance kicks the right amount of ass for the cash."
Trusted Reviews, 4.5/5 Recommended Award - "JBL has stripped the traditional AV receiver of its legacy complexity to offer a simplified 5.1 cinema system that pretty much anyone can use... JBL has dubbed its inaugural AV Receiver range MA (Modern Audio) for a reason. This model in particular offloads a fair number of legacy trappings, making it very easy to install and use... More importantly, this is a great sounding home cinema amplifier. It’s polished and powerful, and can be considered a huge upgrade from common or garden soundbars."
