    This item pushes the envelope of custom sound to a new level. Pair this with a nice subwoofer and you wont regret it. Customizable to your liking and style.

    It's fine for what it is, you get a good 7.2 or 5.1.2 system and sounds good. But it does lack some feature in other premium AV receiver, like a dialog lift.

    Amazing deal for premium sound. Only downside is lack of active cooling but this is remedied by adding a simple fan to the grill up top. Drives all the Sony speakers that that it is rated for

    This is a great AV system, and I was able to setup my dolby atmos 7.2 environment with ease. One downside would be there is no hdmi 2.1 so it lacks some future proofing (4k @ 120hz).
