Sony STR DA555ES 5.1 Channel 600 Watt Receiver

Basic features but huge power and sound quality, dual sub outputs too

I had one of these when they first came out and it was a mistake to sell it. When I finally found this one I bought it. It doesn't have HDMI but OSLINK and coax digital sound just as good. This unit's amp is better than all but today's top end AVRs like Marantz and NAD. The volume is old school not one of the free spinning new digital 125 db knobs that take forever to get loud or turn down in half db increments. It also has dual subwoofer outs for running2 subs instead of having to use a Y adapter to split the signal like AVRs today. Stereo listening is also great, like a high end integrated stereo amp. AVRs today are not up to task for pure 2 channel stereo operation.Read full review

Held in Reserve

This was purchased as my 3rd AV tuner for my Bose Acoustimass home theater speakers. My original Sony product was their STR- V555ES. I have continued to purchase Sony's ES-series products circa 1999-2000 as the sound is excellent with very little distortion. My 400 CD carousel player is on 4-8 hours / day. I want my current ES series product to continue to work for more years. When that "dies" I'll replace it with this unit. The Optical Ports make a huge difference vs. wired unit-to-unit connections.Read full review

Medium weight receiver very solid.

The Sony 555 ES receiver is an audiophile piece of equipment. I had one of these already upon ordering this one, now I have two just could not resist the bid when I saw it available a back up is always useful. Sony's ES line is made up of fantastic receivers with the sound to match, I have two subs attached one for music the other for movies and bass is jawbreaking, the unit has a bass boost, but no need to use it movies in 5.1 surround are awesome better than theater, I'm good to go for years in the music amplification mode, thanks Ebay...Read full review
