Good Brand, Good Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my office I needed a clean sounding amplifier without a lot of high power. I don't want to blast the music. This unit fit the bill perfectly. It has excellent sound clarity, low distortion and enough power to power my two Energy speakers for the level of volume I need for mostly classical and jazz music. Sony is a company that produces good quality for all price ranges and audio equipment.

AWESOME
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My last stereo, 20 years old, gave out and I decided (screaming and kicking), to enter the 21st century. I didn't realize how great Bluetooth was until I linked this stereo to my Firestick and powered up my 4 18 inch Technics speakers. They shake the house. The power is AWESOME. Great job Sony.

Exceeds Expectations
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, after about a month of use, this little and inexpensive receiver from Sony is absolutely exceeding my expectations. It produces a lot of sound at a high quality. Yes, it sure is basic, yet it delivers exactly what it's advertised -- and more.

Sony
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. My old Sony from Radio Shack (yes it was that old) finally gave up on me. This new Sony is sleek, powerful, easy to set up with my turntable speakers and such. And the cost was well within my budget. Highly recommend. Tlr4309

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.

Great stereo at a great price.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great cheap stereo for the price. Really good sound decent power and for channel support. Love the Bluetooth but don’t like the fact that when you turn up the device, it turns on the stereo view as well.

Do not hesitate to purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great purchase. A no frills stereo receiver. It does only a few things but does them very well. Bluetooth is excellent. But the whole reason to get this is for the phone input. For the price, it's a no brainer for a beginner setup that is respectable.

Sony Stereo Receiver Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reliable Sony Receiver. Suitable for a first time stereo buyer who doesn't want to spend $$$$$ for high end stereo. Can hook up just about everything from a turntable to tape deck. You can even use it with your TV. The Bluetooth features is pretty cool, I use it with my portable devices for listen to music. Worth the money.

If you can afford a six pack & a pizza, this is a
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For any piece of electronics, like this, at Under $200.00; you’re either buying a circular saw or a Bluetooth speaker. Yes, they had to sell it AT a profit to stay in business But they wanted to prove that technology has something good for anyones budget. This IS only a “Stereo” receiver (not 9 or more channels) and has only 100 watts per channel, with them Both running @ the same time; with a very good FM tuner/radio; plus some on board digital processing and includes a name brand to back it up for two years....I know of no other that comes with this and IS well built, solid features, good looking and affordable as this is...I forgot, this has a phono preamp (for using a Turntable/for vinyl records) Who said it’s an entry level component? I’ve shopped to only to find out that I would pay 2-3 Times the price of this one, to only gain few useful features at $400-500! I thought if this is the case, On the technical and practical side, only your application for this could be of question. For some outrageous reason/issue, it doesn’t works out, there are many other places this will just make you smile, for a very long time. Bust Buy is your Value and cost leader (So Don’t get lost) P.M.L.

A Bit Disappointing
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although this is an adequate stereo amp for the price, the sound signature is woefully inadequate. Even with bass and treble at their highest setting, there is little richness in the sound. Poor bass response isn’t helping the situation. Essentially a very flat sounding amp. If you’re looking for a basic analog amp to enjoy spinning some vinyl and hearing that classic 70’s warmth and expansive sound stage, look elsewhere.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a 2 channel amplifier to listen to my CD collection in my room set up and im glad that I found this model. Enough power for my tower speakers, slick design and easy to use. You will need the remote control for treble and bass adjustment though, so don’t loose it.
