    Excellent sound and controls. I would like to have banana plug speaker connections instead of the old tech connections on this model.

    Just decided to upgrade my much older receiver to a 7.2 unit, but wasn't looking to spend a ton of money. This Sony fit the bill nicely. Tons of quality of life upgrades: built in bluetooth, ARC single remote compatibility, quick set up and sound optimization with the set up microphone. The only thing I dislike so far, is specific manual sound configuration on the speakers set up seems a little more convoluted than my previous receiver. Overall, loving it so far though.
