      Hi inpersonnotonline, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your Sony STRDH190 receiver. We're glad you like the great sound quality, adjustable treble and bass, and A/B speaker switch function of this receiver. We also appreciate your feedback about the size of the speaker connectors. We highly recommend connecting speaker wires that are anywhere between 12 to 16 gauge which are most commonly used for connecting speakers to an amplifier or an Audio/Video (A/V) 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

    The first one I bought had an issue but BestBuy replaced it and that's when I really got to see the benefits of this receiver. It did exactly what I wanted, the Bluetooth functionality is a big plus and I really needed it for the phono capability. The sound is great (sony quality) and the price point cannot be better. I do wish there was a bass output but I ended up making it work the best I could. Overall for the price, brand, and sound I would definitely recommend.

      Hi Zals, We're glad to hear you that the replacement unit is working great for you. Every component in the STR-DH190 has been designed for detail and clarity. We hope you also enjoy the BLUETOOTH for easy connection with mobile devices and the A and B speaker function for flexible installation. Thank you for choosing SONY. -Sam Sony_US

    Very good buy at the price point. So good I bought two. I would've given it five stars but for the way speaker wire is connected to the amp. I don't like baring the tip of the input wire to the amp, and clamping it in. I like plugs.

    This is a simple receiver that works perfectly. My husband wanted to be able to control the music from outside in the yard. The bluetooth capability allows him to pair his iPhone and then control the music outside without having to go into the house. Great little receiver.

    Had this for a couple of weeks. Needed a quick replacement for a vintage amp that was going wonky. This is just the ticket if you need an inexpensive stereo amp with a phono input. Ordered online at about 8 PM, picked it up with curbside service at around 8:50. Was listening to music by 9:30. A flawless transaction.

    Nice sound and good features for the price. For some reason I cannot get true stereo separation, even though I know the polarity is correct. When I turn the balance all the way to the right or left, I still get some sound from the cancelled speaker. But otherwise, it is good for my purposes.

      Hi Maxr, Great! We're very happy to hear you like the amazing sound of your Sony STRDH190. The speaker balance function lets you adjust the balance between left and right speakers but it cannot totally cancel out the audio from either side of the speakers. Hope this helps.

    This is a great receiver for basic use. I bought it for 2 reasons. One is that it is Bluetooth capable so I can stream SiriusXM and other apps. The other reason is that it has the ability to operate 2 sets of speakers. I have one set mounted on the back of my house so I can play music while hosting a backyard cookout or just enjoy while grilling my own dinner. The other set of speakers is mounted in my garage so I can listen when working in my shop area.

    I am glad I bought this receiver. It puts out enough sound to satisfy a middle ager but most likely not the simulation CPR machine a younger person is looking for. I went old school with my hookups—turntable, cd player. Still on the hunt for a cassette player. My one grouse is that I am adjusting the bass and treble with virtually everything I play. A variety of standard equalizer selections would have been a nicer option.
