Sony STR-DA5500ES by Dennis on amazon.com Oct 30, 2010
This is a very good Receiver When it comes right down to it, audio quality is the most important feature of a surround sound receiver. The STR-DA5500ES does not disappoint. Quality is far above what I would expect from a receiver at this price point. ...

Very poor quality by mejis on amazon.com Mar 27, 2011
I have purchased numerous Sony ES series receivers over the past years, but Sony has continued to cut back on their build quality over the years, and their receivers are now JUNK. My Sony 5500ES receiver completely failed after just 10 months of use! ...
 
What a disappointment by Gary M. Leiss "GML" on amazon.com May 29, 2010
I purchased this high end receiver with high expectations. Although it is sleek looking it has very poor sound quality and very limited audio adjustments. It seems to be cheeply made and poorly engineered. It is adequate as a video hub, however, very ...

Superb sound quality, this is the best sounding surround sound receiver I have ever heard, especially for music, something they are not normally as good at as stereo amps are.Truly awesome for movies, games and T.V...It could do with a 'pure audio' mode...A pure audio mode that works with digital as well as analogue inputs doesn't make as big a difference, but works with all types of input, digital and analogue.This is the only thing I can moan about with this amp, a tiny quibble really...
