    This thing is a beast.

    This is replacing my Denon x3600. This is a big unit and it definitely packs a punch. The bass is much more meaty but also refined. Everything just sounds better and the proprietary 360 spatial sound has to be experienced.

    I had a Sony receiver for 30+ years

    Pro; Easy setup Makes my speakers sound better than they have ever before. I was able to get this on sale and it was worth every penny without it being on sale. The quality is a up to par with my last Sony, so I expect another 30 years. Startup is quick Cons; Protection mode but I also love it for keeping my system safe Weight - you might need help carrying it, moving it or just looking at it feels heavy. Tall - 10.5 inches tall which might require shelf adjustment. Deep - It deep enough to stick out over a normal stereo shelf.

    Top tier

    I’ve had 2 marantz receivers and 2 demon receivers so far and this Sony receiver is up there with them if not past them. Very great sound quality. It is easy to use and setup. If you have Sony products it works very well and only need one remote to control all products. The only downside I see with this receiver is that it is extremely heavy. If you don’t workout on the regular, you will need assistance moving it around. I give this receiver 2 thumbs up!

    ES @ 10stars (sony for life with audio)

    APP is basic could be better but not necessary (web 10.144.1.200 has full setup including remote = easier to use IP vs remote) ____ (used with a90k and ubpm800) _____1st and last AVR (SONY ES For life) ES AVR alone is 5x better for BT (CURRENT soundsrd sounds better without the need for a subwoofer due to DSEE = not intended design but perfect) ____ also setup as a 2.0.2 with Core speakers/atmos (planning @ sony SA-RS5 & SA-SW5 = FULL 4.1.4 SETUP) = core speakers alone sound crystal clear but will require a subwoofer

    Great receiver!

    So far pretty darn good receiver. Sounds great. Looks great. And it’s only missing pre puts. But if you don’t need it. It’s perfect. Take your time setting up the sound to the room and you should be very happy as well. It was the least expensive for the features and sound quality you can get that also can bi-amp my front speakers and still have atmos height for my fronts as well. Love it.

Questions & Answers

  • Recently got the Sony STR-AN1000. Very happy. Thinking about the 5000ES or 7000Es Candidly, I see nothing in the specs of the costlier models that makes me think there is any real benefit. Not enough wattage difference to make a difference. Am I wrong?

    Hi MiketheD, Thank you for your inquiry. We're glad to learn you are enjoying so far your STR-AN1000. For main differences in specifications with these AV Receiver models, the STR-AZ5000ES and STR-AZ7000ES comes with a 5-year limited manufacturer's warranty, detachable power cord, and an RS232C port port for custom installations/integrations. The STR-AZ5000ES gets you a slight bump up in power to 120 watts per channel with 11 channels built-in. The STR-AZ7000ES also bumps up the power to 120 watts per channel and has 13 powered channels you can configure in a variety of ways. The two additional channels can be front wides or a third pair of height speakers. For your reference, please refer to the Power output and total harmonic distortion of these AV Receiver models below: STR-AZ7000ES With 8 Ω loads, both channels driven, from 20 Hz – 20 000 Hz; rated 140 W per channel minimum RMS power in stereo mode, with no more than 0.09% total harmonic distortion from 250 mW to rated output. STR-AZ5000ES With 8 Ω loads, both channels driven, from 20 Hz – 20 000 Hz; rated 120 W per channel minimum RMS power in stereo mode, with no more than 0.09% total harmonic distortion from 250 mW to rated output. STR-AN1000 With 6 ohm loads, both channels driven, from 20 Hz – 20 000 Hz; rated 100 watts per channel minimum RMS power in stereo mode, with no more than 0.09% total harmonic distortion from 250 milliwatts to rated output. I hope you find this information to be helpful! Regards, Jess
