I needed a low-profile AVR to fit on my new TV stand and could find only two such models: a Marantz NR1510 and this one. I didn't really need the HEOS system as I already have a Sonos system in my house. But I am liking the wireless internet connection and the HEOS app for streaming music through my hardwired speakers. As for the real reason I purchased it, the sound it produces through my Klipsch Reference Series 5.1 speaker system is everything I had hoped for. And it is so nice to have all the latest ins and outs technology to go with my new TV, including HDMI with ARC, and digital optical and coax. I rated "Is it easy to use?" as a no. For a multi-function AVR to have only one control on it (Volume knob), no display, and a very simple remote, I did not find it intuitive to operate. I expected a virutal display to appear on the TV but you have to use the HEOS app on your smart phone or tablet. And that does not work until you establish an internet connection (wired or wireless). The quick start instructions did not work for me and neither did the emanual's basic instructions. I had to resort to the Troubleshooting guide to find the basic information on wirelessly pairing my new AVR to my router, which should have been specified in those first two places. Now that I have it all figured out and working I love it!Read full review

Super simple to set up. I mostly love that it allows for completely wireless surround speakers when I setup my HEOS 3 speakers as a pair. It isn't the strongest receiver in the world, but perfectly fine for my needs.

Sound is okay, I have a few other high definition audio amplifiers and of which sounds better but I am using this one because of its design. I feel that the sound lacks a bit of warmth compared to my other class a/b highdef amplifier I use it everyday as it in connected to my main tv Pros Stylish, I like the minimalist look 5.1 works fairly good with remote speakers Can use external speakers of heos speakers Sound good Has a remote Cons It needs to be rebooted from time to time has you get some artifacts No power on/off button or reboot option. You have to unplug/replug No dolby atmos Apps is okay could you a bit of a refresh, it also doesn’t reflect the slick design of the amp Price when it came out Cheap remote
Verified purchase: No
Easy to install easy to set up easy to run sounds awesome
Verified purchase: Yes
Once it gets setup which took a while to figure out I love it a definite upgrade from my 22 yr old rca scenum surround amp. Same speakers yet sounds great. One day I’ll get em upgaded too
