Pros & Cons
Pros
Watts per channel is real, and the sound staging that this receiver can do is amazing. They work very well paired with polk atrium speakers. Bluetooth works great, and drives the speakers very well. Only complaint is the speaker connectors accept a mu... Read More
Sony str-dh190 receiver came at an excellent price point and works great. This receiver is an hidden gem that flies under the radar. I am about a week into having it set up so i can't speak to longevity.
Bluetooth connectivity is easy and performs flawlessly. The remote is ok, takes a bit of practice to learn how to use it. Bluetooth connection is very good.
Cons
Front panel * are too close together, too small, and thus difficult to use. The input selector has week detents and the detents do not match the selections, thus changing the setting may require more than one detent change. You can't use the instructi... Read More
It plays at a very low volume on both the 6 ohm and 8 ohm settings. Both knobs on the amp are surprisingly hard to turn. Only the volume and input can be switched from the amp.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to set up good sound, phono and blue tooth as well as a+b speakers a bonus.
Great sound and would have gave it 5 stars if it had a usb port.
All pieces of junk, totally frustrated and disappointed.

Price

Lot of sound for not much money.
Works great for a very reasonable price.
Shipping
The receiver arrived on time and in good working order.

The box had no additional protection to avoid excesive movement of the original box.
It looks like a piece of string that got thrown in the box by mistake.
Although this was listed as lightly used, my equipment came new in the box.
Competitiveness
This unit was purchased to replace a similar sony receiver i bought fifty years ago.
I do have another amp strdh130 in other room, which was purchased more than 8 years ago.
