Great Value, Great Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've seen a few reviews on this amp. It did not disappoint. I am impressed with the power and clarity. I have a much more powerful/expensive amp, but it makes my speakers sound bad, but the Sony amp does a great job with my KEF LS50's.

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.

Great for your buck.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Two years running I've had mine. Bought this one for my Dad. It goes with our AudioTechnica LP 120s. (fancy record player). It kicks butts. I listen to a sleepy playlist every night via bluetooth (for the last two years). Also I play classic vinyls at HIGH volumes while folding laundry. It does both VERY WELL.

Fantastic teceivwr
||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!

Good 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.

Good 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.

Ok for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good unit for power, priced right; some features like bluetooth, but would be nice if it had an hdmi port. Speaker connections on rear are too small and somewhat flimsy; one broke on trying to connect banana plug to it. Since it had room for A and B speakers, I just use one now. Manual is a little too difficult for me to understand.

Simply awesome if you don't need it to pull fm.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I shopped around for days comparing. Bluetooth is seemless. When you turn on your phone bluetooth it automatically turns on unit and vice versa. With 100 watt speakers it absolutely cranks. Ability to pull fm channels without static is a 5 out of 10. But I bluetooth everything anyway.
