    It’s a nice little receiver. I’d stick with smaller speakers next time as it doesn’t have enough power for my big front speakers. A side from being a little under powered in the front stage, it’s a great receiver.

    This is a nice receiver for most people. It has treble. It has bass, although can be muddy. The problem i had with this receiver is it lacks midrange. The unit plays loud, but you always feel like there is something missing. Returned and bought on Onkyo instead.

    I needed a receiver that would do HDR for the PS5 and 4K tv, but really only needed a 5.2 system for a smaller area. This was very easy to set up and it it works well. It only has a couple of ports, but that's all I need for my setup.

    This Sony STRDH590 5.2-ch. receiver replaces the 7.2ch Sony we had for 5 years. It lost the sub woofer output so I replaced it with this one. It responds to whatever type audio the input sees. The only challenge was plugging it into our TV to set up the receiver with the onscreen menu. The TV doesn't have enough HDMI inputs to leave it plugged in. I wish it had all controls on the front like the 7.2 version. Oh well, progress I suppose...

    I've had this AV receiver for about 6 months now. We didn't need anything too fancy, just something to connect our speakers to and our cable/apple tv/xbox so we could just run 1 cord to TV instead of 3. It was fairly easy to set but after about 2 months it randomly shuts off, which is ridiculously annoying. Sometimes it will go a few days, sometimes it will shut off every 20 minutes. It's in an TV stand (not fully enclosed), so it shouldn't be over heating. Tried resetting it multiple times to no avail and customer support calls were useless. Overall pretty disappointed and will likely choose a different brand when we get another one for the basement.

    I used to have a pioneer receiver and it flaked out on me then recently purchased this Sony receiver and I have to say that it sounds much better than the pioneer. Handles my Sony subwoofer so much better. Best receiver out there for the price, can't go wrong with this one.
