    I had a Sony amp about 12 years old and thought I would upgrade because of 4 K and 3D tv. Disappointed in soun quality for system. Older one has just as good of sound. I’m thinking about taking it back and getting the 1100 watt receiver. I’m trying to stay with all Sony equipment because I have had good experiences with it.
