Sony STR-DE 197 review
by CheapboxAudiophile

This unit is a far far cry from what you could call audiophile grade equipment. I only bought one because I needed a cheap poweramp for my TL subwoofers. Its use in my system is confined to the sub-50 Hz frequency range.
However I did... Read full review »

Stereo, you know, 2 channels, no DVD player!

Pros Reasonably priced (don't pay more than $120) basic good quality stereo...
Cons Limited to 2 channel sound, and no turntable input. That's about it. Nice unit
Recommended it? Yes

Here is your simple, uncomplicated unit. It operates easily, and quite intuitively.
Want to store a channel in memory, and assign it to a preset number? No problem, just tune to the station, push the memory button, then push the preset number of your choice. Don't have to hold it any certain... Read full review »

Pros Many inputs, 7.1 surround, TrueHD and DTS-MA decoding, and the $300 price tag

Recommended it? Yes

After winning a raffle that allowed me to pick anything from CDW's site at work (under $350), I decided to upgrade the entry-level Sony STR-DG510 receiver I purchased less than a year ago.  I gave the old one to my 'rents, bought some Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 satallites from the parts bin of...

Excellent receiver for the price

Pros Excellent features for the price. 4 HDMI inputs, 1 HDMI output. Great sound
Cons None so far
Recommended it? Yes

I had been using a Sony STRDE845 for the last 8 years. While that receiver served me very well, it was time to upgrade to a unit that had HDMI and could decode HD sound. I found it in the 820. Set up could not have been easier. If you can use the HDMI I highly recommend it. The TV I have it hooked... Read full review »
