Sony STR-DB930
| I concurr with most of what the others have written here. The STR-DB930 is very well built and a bargain for the price. The STR-DB830 also deserves consideration. The receiver's amp has low distortion across 5 channels at full audio bandwidth. The RCA connectors on the rear of the unit are gold plated (a nice and unexpected touch). I recommend that you investigate the price/value offered by this receiver if you are considering a home theater purchase.(www.oade.com) supports DTS (see www.dvdexpress.com for a selection of DTS audio-only disks) and Dolby Digital decoding. |

Great receiver, but the two way remote could be better..
| Sony isn't known for their receivers, but the STR-DB series seem to be the exceptions. They are build extremely well (they weight a ton) and have very high quality components. I recently got this receiver to complete my home theator system and couldn't be more pleased. The power is extreme (I've never moved the power past 4, and that was incredibly loud, yet it doesn't go to 11!) but the sound is extremely clear to my Paradigm speakers. It has more inputs that you can shake a stick at, and automatically detects the sound mode when I play DVD movies. Movies are incredible when played from a DVD, and the sound is just like theators. |

It's an ES Receiver with at least $300.00 rebate in it....
| If you want it with multi room capability go with this one, otherwise the DB830 is a better buy. Looks and sounds a lot better than the DE series. I'm not a big fan of SONY(receivers) to be honest, but the sound,features,looks and the way this receiver was constructed is to good to pass up and it's an outstanding receiver for the money! I could'nt ask for more, i don't miss THX cert. at all. i just hope there are lots of DTS DVD's out there. |
