      Hi JamesB, Thanks for sharing your experience so far with your STR-DH590 5.2 ch. AV Receiver. The receiver is only designed to support active or powered subwoofers. If you are looking for one, we recommend the Sony SA-CS9 subwoofer. You’re now able to experience true home theater sound without limitations. Experience the bigger, clearer picture when you upgrade your home cinema setup with the STR-DH590. The 5.2ch AV receiver brings movies to life with 4K HDR pass through, Dolby® Vision and flexible surround sound. Bring all your devices together with BLUETOOTH® connectivity and multiple inputs. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    So glad I purchased this! Why you might ask? The sound is better than the Marantz system I had before it, at a much lower price point. Makes my Polk Audio speakers sound exceptional. My friend who is a graduate of a music school and former US Marine band member comment that he could hear sounds from his Apple music catalog that he never noticed before. Hats off to Sony!

    Our old receiver finally quit working after almost 15 years of daily service. After checking out many receivers we decided on this one and are very glad we did. Very easy to set up with our tv; works great. Sales person unsure if it came with a remote so bought a universal remote just in case. It does come with a remote although in the specs for this receiver the remote is not listed in the package deal but is shown in the picture. This was rather confusing. Returned extra remote with no problems. Best Buy always seems to have what we need when we need it and it was on sale.

    Performed as expected from the specifications. Liking the ease of connecting via Bluetooth and the convenience of the remote control. Of interest is the lack of a balance control to adjust the relative volume of the two speakers I use. What is provided is an automatic system that depends on a (provided) microphone that you place at the preferred listening location. Works great, but sometimes I want to listen from a workstation near one of the speakers and alter the balance. I could bring out the microphone and perform a re-balance, but that's inconvenient for the temporary purpose. Fortunately, the range of the remote is adequate to take it across the room with me to the workstation.
