Although this receiver was purchased used, it is still an outstanding piece of equipment. I purchased this, and a set of six, Sony surround speakers, from two different sources on eBay, and the two large boxes just happened to arrive on the same day! This system is well balanced, and compact in size. I decided to purchase the Sony model STR-DE595 receiver/amplifier because I already had a Sony receiver, model #STR-D615, that I've had for at least 15 years. I was very happy with it, but it was not a bonified surround-sound receiver/amp. I was running it through 3 pairs of miss-matched, 2 way, and 3 way speakers of the old-school-huge variety; the main pair being a set of "BIC Venturi(s)" I bought new in 1973, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. I'm very satisfied with the performance of all Sony products, and I'll likely stay with Sony 15 or 20 years down the road, when I think it's time to upgrade once again. I noticed that Sony has quite a varied selection of surround sound receiver/amplifiers, and my choice was more or less random, as several Sony models have basically the same features. I'm happy with my choice.Read full review
This Sony receiver was purchased to power up my outdoor Bose speakers. It is an older unit but works just fine. I also have it hooked up to the sound output on my cable box in family room and use it to power up indoor speakers while watching TV or dvd's. It definitely meets my expectations and I'm glad I purchased it on eBay.

I loved the price and the name. The product came as advertised, which is a powerful stereo receiver capable of producing great music that I desire. The settings and manipulations of the channels works great for any speaker setup you might run. I am running 4 primary speakers (left and right) 2 surround speakers, and a subwoofer. All the speakers and pushed and the sound is awesome. The receiver itself is attractive and sleek. The knobs and buttons don't have slack in them which makes it feel like a well oiled and powerful machine. I am very happy with the receiver in any situation. It performs well with an Ipod and with television/movies.
My existing receiver got a Protected message on it, so rather than trying to fix it for the price of this one I purchased it. Works fine with good quality as did my last one. It was received undamaged and was sent quickly by the seller.

Compact, stable, and good sound a effect for movies. If you like music is better a traditional amp. But video music, and movies the sound and image is a good quality.
