Sony Malaysia has stopped selling ES components since the STR-DA5300ES, and Sony USA (one of the last countries to sell them) has officially stopped selling their ES range on Sonystyle since the STR-DA5600ES, so it is only a matter of time before these high grade components disappear from the consumer market for good. I have been using Sony's standard receivers since the STR-DE845 and STR-DE495. Upgraded to the ES series when Sony released the STR-DA5000ES with Component video switching and up-conversion, and I have not looked back since. While some of the 5000 ES series seem to be cramped with too many features, like dual external component power switching, dual subwoofer pre-out, Digital Legato Linear function etc, and enough soundfield algorithms to give you a migrain everytime you...

It has most of the features found on much higher end receiver's and the sound quality is amazing. (I'm no audiophile) I love the HD D.C.S. sound fields they sound totally different than the old D.C.S. sound fields found in sony's cheaper line of receiver's. No I don't have the sound fields on all the time, I usually engage those modes the second time I watch a movie or recorded TV program and sometimes PS3 games. I'm no audiophile but this receiver is just amazing. Crisp high's, great low's. I've got yamaha 3-way tower speakers with 8" woofers and yamaha 3-way bookshelf speakers also with 8" woofers for my sides and rear speakers but a subwoofer does help give that extra low boom. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master audio sounds phenomenal on this receiver compared to my yamaha HTR-6160 and my sony STR-DH800 receiver that this sony replaced, both of which accept a Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD signal. The only negative thought I have about this receiver is the...

I have been using Sony ES receivers for some time and have never been disappointed. The receiver is easy to set up and to use. I have great audio and video quality at a good price. The only thing that is missing from the receiver is Ethernet for streaming media from a PC, but this is available as an accessory, at extra cost, of course. As I have several other devices that allow streaming, this is really not a big loss. The only limitation I have run across so far is the length of the cable on the microphone used to calibrate the speakers; it does not quite reach to my listening position. If this is the only flaw in the product, I'm very happy with this purchase. The manual is typical Sony; a good reference document if you know what you are doing. Newbies to audio / video system set up may struggle a bit. |
