I have slightly higher priced speakers (as indicated above) but really you can settle for the Sony SS-B3000 pair until you have the cash to upgrade or update your stereo pleasure. I also know that I saved over $350 not pursuing audiophile level equipment. I don't possess the resources to be much of an audiophile. I have my system directly connected to my computer as well and Windows Media Player enables me to play music for many hours at a time.This is a lower level system, so if you are an audiophile of any measure then you probably don't want to start here. This Sony set is good enough for my listening pleasure.So far, in just over a year, the system has performed wonderfully and without flaw (except for the occasional human error).The receiver can be played through a CD player, DVD player, TV, or just about any other type of electronics on that level.
It issues a nice well developed sound for it's class and the volume level keeps a well modulated sound no matter how loud I turn it up.I recommend this receiver for those looking to own a nice stereo music system for less than an overall total of $700. But, what I got for my small trouble was a nice performing system (hooked up with a pair of polkaudio TSi300 speakers) that gives me clean and clear sound. I'm not much of an audiophile. I'm certain that a $500 receiver/amp would perform better. Just not enough for you.
All I needed was a capable stereo receiver to replace my old Pioneer system (purchased in the early 90s) and viola: I am happy.Setup was a snap, though attaching the speaker wire to the proper outlets is a little difficult, though that's more my own fault for placing the receiver in my stereo/TV stand just off the floor. But, if you simply want to begin your music journey with the best system you can by for little money then this is the place to begin.Enjoy your new Sony STRDE197 receiver, and tell 'em ceffalo helped you decide.
Needed a new receiver to power a 600 disk CD jukebox for our salon and spa. Excellent response and sound quality delivery.Delivery of product was also prompt.An excellent value.
Fills the need well. Wanted a reasonably priced receiver, mostly to get speaker-quality sound for sat TV and DVD player. Pretty easy to set up, easy to use with remote, good sound quality.
Comparably priced to large national retailer's but without the hassle of dealing with their lousy in-store service.Typical Sony quality, a well-made receiver, seems to have ample power with no clipping, controls are fairly easy to use and understand. Nothing special but above average power for this price range. The only complaint I have is that the volume control requires a lot of spinning to change the volume level, but the remote works better in that regard.
We hooked all of them up and with the A/B switch can listen outside or indoors or both at the same time. We have two outside speakers and two indoor. The sound is fantastic both in and out. J.M. I don't know what anyone else is talking about with low ratings. No spot for a sub-woofer but the sound is so superior we don't even miss it. is correct. It does have bass boost which makes up for it.At this price and shipped here in 2 days, FANTASTIC.Pat in Kingston, New York
