I’m very happy with this receiver. I’m was replacing my Sony Str-DN1070. Nothing wrong with the 1070 just wanted more power and Dolby Atmos. This receiver has way more power than the 1070. I have SVS ultra speakers and they sound great with this receiver. No complaints so far with this receiver.

I have been studying reviews on receivers for over a year before purchasing a new receiver. When Sony got back into the market I waited for the reviews. Andrew Robinson was right. Sony’s 3d sound is crazy. It does what it says. My room is not perfect for speaker placement. After the room calibration and answering a few questions on distance. I’m at the centre of the room. This has all the power to dive my 5.2.2 setup. I have plans to expand and I know it will handle everything I throw at it.

Decided on this review after a month of reading. I have it paired with a 5.1 setup for now and plan on expanding soon.
The AVR exceeded my expectations and I’m glad I picked this model.
I was considering some other vendors, but this had a sale I couldn’t pass up. They shipped the item in record time too. This is my first purchase and definitely won’t be the last.

I’ve had this thing up and running for a couple weeks now and I am not disappointed at all. Got super lucky and caught this on a super sale on the weekend after Thanksgiving.

If you’re and audiophile who also enjoys movies, this is the receiver for you. I’ve own Yamaha Aventage but Sony at this price, tops Yamaha. I can’t put my finger on it, but it produces a lively and powerful sound. Easy to steup, I had little trouble with the setting up the APP but I was able to troubleshoot it. Overall Great Sound Keep it up Sony.
