Adequate features and quality for the price range.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much easier to install and operate than predecessor. No speakers included and connection for woofer is different from previous receiver, so could not use my old one. Consequently, could not review bass response. Good value for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend Great Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a little confusing to set up after hooking it up to all our speakers. It works really well but between the different apps, the volume does fluctuate a lot. This is great though, definite improvement from our last one.
