Sony STR-DG800 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver with HDMI Passthrough (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
Clear big sound at a good price
I've been listening to it in stereo mode with just two bose speaker connected- mostly for music. The sound is clean, and seems to be well powered across frequencies. <br /> <br />XM radio integration is good- with controls on the remote quite easy to navigate XM. XM audio quality doesn't match the FM reception- on this unit at least. <br /> <br />it just fades away and doesn't demand visual attention- black and simple. <br /> <br />the video switching works well. I haven't hooked ot to HDTV yet. <br /> <br />Cant wait to listen to this with bigger floor speakers- will update you when I do!
