    Sony Av Receiver has a strong clear sound for movies and music. I got 2. One for inside theater and one for outside theater. Even nicer if you add external amps!! The best!!

    Huge improvement over the Onkyo I had previously, most notably the soundstage. It tricks me into thinking I have more speakers than I do (currently 5.1) it throws audio in a way I hadn't known possible with the cheap Onkyo. Goes well with my PS5 for surround sound while gaming.

    Needed a new receiver for a recently deceased one and couldnt be happier! IMO, it interfaces perfectly with my Sony TV and PS5 — and my Apple TV to boot. Great interface and even provides an input for a vinyl player. Top notch mid-tier receiver.

      Hi Tadaka,

      We are elated to hear that you are considering staying within the Sony family for your home theater upgrade! The STR-AZ3000ES is a fantastic choice, especially since it features our 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates that immersive, multi-dimensional soundstage you’ve been missing. Transitioning to an ES Series receiver will not only provide the power you're looking for but also restore that signature spatial audio experience.

      Thank you for trusting Sony.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    High quality audio and great performance that you would expect from the brand, with automatic settings for most of your needs. Initial setup was more confusing than it needs to be, and the interface on the device itself is limited. It does have a better visual interface when you connect it though a TV, but it's still clunky.
