Budget AV receivers at ridiculously low prices

I've just noticed these amplifiers from unknown brands which are surprisingly cheap:

Most of them do not have HDMI inputs. This one does:

Anyone demoed these? Any chance of a review?

No not seen them or tested but they could be good for running celling / garden speakers on the cheap. Somewhere for background music where SQ isn't important

Please note that the HDMI inputs only serve to connect the signal through the HDMI output. A direct reproduction of an HDMI audio signal via the amplifier is not possible.

If this is correct what is the point of this gear?

Amazon reviews of this brand's amplifiers isn't encouraging:

Hi Guys .I am new here...Great place by the way. I want to buy the ONKYO TX-NR609 amp but I am wondering would it be compatible with the Q7000 speakers?If not what can you recomend me to match for a quality home cinema sound (AV receiver and speakers package) at price no higher than 1300 sterling..?

Thank you very much :cheers:

If you into style type speakers then the Q7000 will be a great match for the Onkyo, and welcome .
