Sony STR-DB1080 AV-receiver
After unpacking it turned out that the receiver has a significant mass and the center of gravity shifted to the rear wall (where the transformer is located). This indirectly indicates the attention paid by the developers to the power source. The front panel is metal. The display has a 4-step Dimmer...

Sony STR-DB798 AV-receiver
The QS lineup is not as prestigious as the ES, but Sony has already managed to teach us that these components are the most advantageous in terms of quality/price. Perhaps for this reason, the designers did not invent anything new for the design of a seven-channel receiver STR-DB798. All tuning functions...

Sony STR-DB900 AV-receiver
The design of Sony devices always attracts a special trust. But let's look not at the appearance or beautiful S-Master Pro digital amplification logo, for which Sony received the award from EISA, but to the facts. So, STR-DB900 is designed to connect only four sources. Moreover, analog audio inputs...

Sony STR-DN610 AV-receiver
While the most of receivers can support 7.1 configuration only with a help of an additional power amplifier, Sony STR-DN610 has seven amplifier channels. Surely, the 7.1 scheme increases the receiver's cost, that's why you can find in the design and functional equipment of STR-DN610 the features of saving....
