  • a major improvement from my previous Marantz receiver!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 28, 2005
    Pros: attractive, minimalist design, logical to program,smooth, silky, clear, muscular sound,clear LED display
    Cons: reading of manual absolutely required, awkward FM tuning, pricey, remote control a bit odd

    Summary: Why replace what I had? I was using a 1996-vintage Marantz A/V receiver with NO built-in Dolby/DTS processing (used outboard Sony decoder). The Marantz always has sounded a bit muddy, also mediocre power rating. With the dynamic demands of new content ... read more

    Summary: I have owned a pair of B&K separates (PT-3 II preamp, ST2140 power amp) for several years and wanted to upgrade for a few reasons. First, the PT-3 is a stereo preamp only. Although most of my listening is music, I wanted the ability to use 5-channel ... read more

  • Sony Does It Again...

    Pros: It's pretty and (in theory) replaces many components with one box.
    Cons: Poor sound quality, difficult ergonomics, can't manually tune the radio. WASTE OF MONEY!

    Summary: ...Great marketing, lousy product. I replaced my adcom preamp, Sony Dolby processor, and sunfire amp and adcom d2a with this beautiful paperweight. That was the best thing it did - replace the aforementioned boxes (and remotes) with one (albeit HUGE) ... read more

    Pros: sound, high end functions
    Cons: radio tuning is awkward, however once set and named is easy

    Summary: This is an incredible piece of equipment and the sound is amazing. The high end functions and ease of use combine well. Sound reproduction and clarity is unmatched. Sony puts a lot of work in to the ES products and it
