Q: QuestionRecently 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?

• A:Answer 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.
