      Hi Briaug0206, Excellent choice! We’re happy to hear you are enjoying your STR-DH190 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! -Carl Sony_US

    Was looking for an amplifier for an old set of very efficient Dual Monitor Gold Tannoy speakers. So far working well since these speakers are very clean and do not need a lot of sound enhancement.

    Everything about this purchase was excellent! It did however cause me to call upon a little-used practice called "If all else fails, read the instructions" to determine how to turn if off completely. But the manual was fully explanatory (but perhaps a little more technical than for someone like me with 45 years of electronics experience. Although, not all of my knowledge is current). It works exceptionally well for my application of many inputs (selectable) with high-quality outputs to speakers or even to another device's inputs. Great quality, good service from the store. All in all - Excellent!
