twox6spds's Full Review: Sony STR-DB1070 6.1 Channels Receiver
I've had a Sony STDB 1070 for about 2 years now. No problems - this is a solid high quality receiver. Doesn't do THX, but DTS is terrific. Although rated at 100 watts x 6 channels, I don't believe it. The one I have puts out much less than 100 wpc. I now use it as a processor, hooked up to 3 Onkyo M282 2 channel x 120 watts amps from the Sony's preouts. Sound is surprisingly excellent for both music and home theater, much, much better than it sounded using the onboard Sony amp. The bass management and set up features are really terrific for a receiver of this price. I really like this unit, more as a processor than a receiver. Use it with outboard amplifier(s) and you will really get the most out of this excellent Sony.
