      Hi Will, That's awesome! Good to know that this is what you're looking for in a stereo receiver. Whether you choose to enjoy the warm sound of vinyl via the phono input, or stream music from your digital music collection, you’ve found a perfect match. Don’t forget the receiver’s A=B function lets you connect two pairs of speakers. You can easily switch between A or B or use them all together at the same time. When you factor in the low-profile design, we’re sure you’ve found the flexibility and performance you’ve been looking for. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Paired with the CS Towers, and Sub. Good overall garage/spare room type system. Wont blow you away for cinema, but handles medium sized rooms with good clarity for the price point.
