| 'GOOD LOOKING, NOT SO SERIOUS, BUT NICE LITTLE AV RECEIVER' | | Strengths:
The design is just so compact and cool, but that also means that you won't find any blue led or large LCD display on it. The display is just plain simple. For 50W/8ohms per channel, it is quite adequte to drive five small bookshelf speakers, plus an output for a subwoofer unit. It's got multiple coaxial and optical digital input as well, unlike some compact factor receiver. | | Weaknesses:
May not punch out the best quality sound compared to the much bigger AV amps.
Uses its unique mini plugs for speaker connections, which means you can't use those 'monster' speaker cables, they are just too thick to be stuffed inside the tiny plugs supplied with the receiver. | | Overall:
I am very happy with it in my bedroom. It barely have juice to drive my old pair of Tannoy System 8 speakers. It is so think and tiny that it just disappears within your bookshelf. It's a Sony, but it is made in Maylaysia, the same as with lots of its more expensive brothers in the Sony range. But well, how cares anyway! I got it for 70quids! Can't complain much! |
