    I’ve had an older Sony receiver ( 30 years plus) I was sad to get ride if it. I bought this one due to have Sony for so long. I love this one and being able to use my phone Bluetooth listing to my own music. Miss having a receiver been the best so far.

    I'm still rather new to a/v stuff but I am a huge fan of the on-screen interface. I've only ever dealt with boxes where you had to look at the small LCD display. This guy will even auto tune your speakers for you with consideration of your room and placement. The passive speaker bar I had been using for over a year sounds SO much better now. I bought this during a sale and it was an open box. By the way, this was an unusually good open-box deal. Maybe BB is being a bit more generous with these.
