      Hi Benna919,

      That's great! We're glad that you like the superb features and it tailors outstanding sound quality in your living room. Here are also some recommended Sony speakers that can be paired with the STR-DH590:

      • Sony SSCS3 3-Way Floor-Standing Speaker - These speakers have a powerful bass response and clear, detailed highs that make them ideal for use as front speakers in a home theater setup.
      • Sony SSCS5 3-Way Bookshelf Speaker - These compact speakers deliver big sound for their size, making them a great choice for use as rear speakers in a surround sound system.
      • Sony SSCS8 2-way 3-driver Center Channel Speaker - This speaker delivers an unprecedented and real audio experience, with a soundstage so expansive you can feel the energy and passion of the original performance.
      • Sony SSCSE Dolby Atmos Enabled Speakers - These speakers are designed to deliver immersive, three-dimensional sound, and can be used as height speakers in a Dolby Atmos setup.

      Thanks for leaving us such a great review of your STRDH590. Thanks for choosing Sony!

    good for the price - does the job, had to use it for my ceiling-inbuilt speakers and it makes them work just fine, distributes the sound well between the front and rear speakers. has some nice hall/stadium/jazz settings for different output. Makes a weird and loud click sound when it's turned on but it's okay I guess. would recommend to others who are looking at making a basic set of speakers work

    Decent cheap receiver for home theater

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you want to build a home theater system on a budget, this fits the bill. Just don't expect too much. For example, it comes with a microphone for automatic calibration just like more expensive receivers, but this one incorrectly identified my center channel and fear soakers as "large" even though they obviously can't produce low frequencies. The automatic calibration in general was kind of buggy and finicky, unlike the auto calibration on Yamaha receivers. It lacks any network connectivity, which only really matters for firmware update and streaming internet radio. You probably won't need the former, and the latter is becoming obsolete. Most people interested in listening to music over the internet would probably just install Spotify on their smart TV anyway. I have not tried this with an Audio Return Channel yet, but it works fine both as a bluetooth receiver (for much better sounds quality than you're likely to get from a self-container Bluetooth speaker) and it functions well at 5.1 sound for a basic home theater. If you agree trying to build a component home theater system on a budget, this is a decent centerpiece for your home theater. On the other hand, if you're willing to spend the money on a component home theater system instead of a sound bar, you may want to consider some of the more feature-rich receivers that are around $100 more expensive.

    This does everything I need it to do an has all the power I need it to have but I guess I need to update my speakers because they just are producing a loud enough sound. I have to crank it all the way past 30 before it sounds like a theater but my speakers are ancient history old so maybe that's the case.

    I bought this receiver so that I had something to play my CD's on. yeah yeah yeah. I'm old school. For the price I am more than satisfied with this receiver. I have it hooked up to 4 bookshelf speakers and a powered subwoofer and the sound quality is great. Later I'm going to see if I can connect my Alexa to the receiver :)
