Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the amazing sound quality, ease of use, and straightforward setup of the STR-AN1000 receiver. Its support for Dolby Atmos, ample power, and multiple connectivity options are also appreciated. However, some users find the remote to be lacking due to its unlighted design. Overall, the receiver is considered a great value for its price.

    Easy to set up. Works as promised. Love using the center channel feature on my 85x95k. Works great with my Martin Logan 4 ohm speakers. This replaced my Sony DN1080

    Searched for the perfect system and found it!!!! I wanted a receiver that would play music on the deck, while someone else could watch TV in the family room. Perfect buy!

    Great value. This replaced a brand new Onkyo that crapped out after 60 days. Sound for voices is good not great, but that’s the only complaint this far.

    This receiver is difficult to set up but compensates with excellent performance. Sound is clean, crystiline highs, good bass response. A very good mid-fi receiver. Recommended!

    Good reciever, easy to hook up to speakers. Set up a little confusing and when you turn on and off the reciever is pretty loud.
