      Hi selmaria, We're very happy to hear you appreciate the overall quality of your new STRDH190 Stereo receiver with Bluetooth. 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! -Sam Sony_US

    [Employee of bestbuy] Paired it up with some Edifier stero speakers and the sound is phenominal for a pretty minimal setup. Bluetooth and other features are easy to use.

    Nice stereo. replaced an older unit that died. So far works very well. Good sound, love the remote. Only negative is the speaker wire connections is difficult to work with as the receivers wire connection devise only allows speaker wire diameter that is very small, making it difficult to connect speaker wires especially if you have more that 1 speaker per channel. Other wise fine, well worth the price.

      Hi RichardG,

      Great! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality and user-friendly functions of the receiver. If you need speakers for this receiver, you may want to consider the Sony SS-CS3 (Floor standing speaker) or SS-CS5 (Bookshelf speaker). Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Provides a phono output, which I really wanted! Has a lot of bang for your buck. Very easy to set up, and has a surprising amount of power for my KLH bookshelf speakers.

    Wanted a quality, but smaller, stereo receiver to replace my old Kenwood receiver from 40 years ago. I looked for one that had phono input jacks for my turntable, and also included a remote. This Sony 2 ch. stereo receiver did the trick, and have been very happy with it's performance in the 4 weeks that I have owned.
