Sony STR-DA4ES

Everyone bad mouths Sony receivers, but the ES series are very well made.

I love my DA4ES. I especially love the build quality. This thing feels solid and well built

Only one. The remote really sucks

STR-DA4ES

I shopped around relentlessly before choosing the DA4. I am a college student and not a rich one by any means. I needed a high quality product that would satisfy my desire for high quality music as my 1st priority, HT for my 2nd and not cost a fortune....

Build Quality, Sound Quality, Almost endlessly customizable, drives low impedance speakers well, classic good looks, 2 multi channel inputs

All channel driven power is rumored to be a bit slim, remote complicates simple operations

Built like a tank ; Clean design ; Powerful ; All the choices for surround entertainment ; Auto decode is wonderful ; Remote is easy to use

Operations manual is confusing at times
