    Does exactly what it is designed to do. Easy hookup although I would have liked more banana plug connections. Price was outstanding.

    Went in to buy a sony receiver and ended up seeing this one on sale for $300. Took it home and set it up and was honestly surprised by how it outperformed my previous sony receiver. You can tell it was pushing more and cleaner power and theres a bit more setting and features to use and work with to fine tune your experience. Personally recommended it to a friend and he also loves it. Would definitely buy again
