This unit will not disappoint those listeners who are after a more purist approach to their sound. This is a no-frills piece that elevates sound quality over features or any sort of gimmickry. It has been discontinued by Sony unfortunately, so they are likely to become more rare and sought after by collectors. Highly recommended.
Great sound and build quality. My only wish is for a pre-out and/or a subwoofer output, though I was aware of this prior to purchasing. The binding posts for the speaker outputs seemed odd at first, but they work well. I like the switchable impedance and the ability to choose auto-standby. It runs fairly cool compared to other Class A amps. Clean styling.
This amp is a hidden jewel from the Sony ES line of products. It’s the first amp that I’ve owned that makes my Magnepan LRSs come alive!!! This is a great underrated product from Sony!!!
If this were released in 2022, it would have been a huge success. The surge in analog sources has driven other manufacturers to build similar analog integrated amps. Great warm sound. Some reviewers have complained that it gets hot - I may not be driving it as hard as them but I have not seen it get any hotter than older class A receivers.
