    I'm at the age where I like things uncomplicated. This unit fit the bill for me. It is well built and looks good any place you put it. If you're looking for something to blow all the windows in the house this is not the one for you. It has a good range of sound that is crisp and clear.

      Hi Gametag12, That's awesome! We're glad to hear you like the easy Bluetooth pairing and ease of use of the unit. 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

    I was looking for a stereo only receiver for my garage/shop. Using for stereo music in the the shop and with outdoor speakers. Does well pushing my old Klipsch K4's as well as the Kicker outdoor speakers. Bluetooth has good range as I can control it from outside the garage with all doors to garage closed at about 50-60 feet.

    I wanted to wait a year to review this product. This way I would have time to experience the possible failures. Great receiver, I wanted to match my record player with speakers and Sony gave me to only option in this price range.

    I bought a Sharp Roku TV and added it to his to make a streaming media system for my dad that was easy and could do Spotify, Roku, Amazon Music and such for his home audio system. I worried that the impedance was too low, but it had no problem. I functions well at impedance much lower than specified.

    Great receivers or the price. The receiver doesn’t have many inputs for a home theater set up, it does have Bluetooth function and phone input for a turn table. When matched with a set of floor speakers, a complete simple system can be achieved with this receiver.

    Exactly what I was looking for, at a price I can live with. Needed a shop stereo to play music over two small speakers in the clean room, and two large speakers in the outside shop. This has the watts to push the speakers, separate channels for inside and outside, and bluetooth to boot. Only way to make it better is to make it free.

    Thought about getting a hi-fi set up for my living room but opted for this instead. I don't have a crazy speaker set up and this little beauty does the trick. Bluetooth will connect it to anything too, so I can spin some wax, rock a CD, or play whatever from my phone.
