Slightly Old School
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is very good for a receiver at this price point. It's purely analog; no digital inputs or outputs on this thing, but that's what DACs are for. Nice phono stage and an FM tuner. Probably the reason for the less than perfect rating is the lack being able to precisely manually tune to your stations. Instead I have to rely on auto scanning to lock on. It doesn't always do that.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The amplifier is worth far more than what I paid for it. The sound is superb, and at 100 watts per channel there's plenty of power to push my floor-standing speakers.

For the price this is pretty awesome.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price this is pretty awesome. The receiver has everything you could need and connects quick if you use Bluetooth. The quality of sound is surprisingly high, which at first I was skeptical due to the lower price. But crank these speakers up and they do not disappoint.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having a new patio built wanted outdoor speakers and needed a way to power them. This works perfect and having Bluetooth built in is the main reason we got it. And it works perfectly. I've always had Sony equipment and this one fits right in on the quality I expected. Super price getting it as an open box. Really enjoying it!
I would recommend this to a friendGood unit
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using this to power my 2 Polk patio speakers. Has good range and power. Best part is that you can connect outside by connecting to the Bluetooth and it auto turns on. No remote needed! It’s pretty big for a 2 speaker amp, only drawback is it’s size. Otherwise pretty happy with it so far for the price.

Sony Bluetooth Stereo Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned 4 stereo receivers, but this is my first one with Bluetooth capability so you can play music from your smart phone. It’s a great value for 100 watts per channel of power. The remote includes controls for bass and treble adjustments “from your couch.” It includes a phono input for a turntable.

Perfect for outside
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have wired speakers outside around the pool and inherited the last homeowner's receiver. It finally died. This is perfect - inexpensive and can connect to Alexa and all of our phones. Since we are spending a ton of time outside around the pool during social distancing, it is wonderful to have our music back out there.

I would recommend this to a friendGood stereo receiver for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a basic stereo receiver as it has no HDMI inputs/outputs. I needed it to power some built in speakers indoors and another set outdoors. There are 2 sets of speaker outputs which was perfect. It has a Bluetooth input so it’s easy to stream music off my iPhone or for SiriusXM streaming. For the money it’s a good receiver. I recommend it.

Excellent, excellent value!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, what am amazing product. Should be priced in the $500 range for what you get. Sound quality leans toward the lively top end and solid, solid bass. Speaker paring will matter. I paired this with Mirage OM7 speakers and it was magic. This is a warm sounding speaker overall. Vocals amazing. I found this receiver sounds better than anything from Yamaha, Marantz, and Denon. I know, pretty bold statement to make but I stand by it. It could not quite match my older Hk3400 receiver which had a fuller, richer sound, especially in the bottom end. If I didn't do a side by side I wouldn't have missed the HK. I wish Sony would do three things: raise the price to $200-$250 and include a USB flash drive input, add a couple of HDMI inputs, and replace the spring clips with banana plugs for the speakers terminals. Other than that this is the best value receiver today, even at its current price. Period! Well done Sony.
