Questionable
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a little disappointed with this receiver, after my old one decided to pass on after 10 years. I thought I would give Sony a try. For the money it provides positive features but the sound is not what I expected. Will keep but keep an eye out for a newer better model.
