Sony ES 260 Watt 5.1 Receiver with Phono STR-GX700ES

Sony Elevated Standard Series 5.1 Receiver. In addition to the usual higher fidelity amplification found in Sony’s ES series, the STR-GX700ES also offers a good quality Phono Stage, and switchable impedance for the mains.

This Sony also boasts no less than 8 additional pairs of RCA inputs (4 pairs with output loops), decent AM/FM Stereo Tuner, and a full-range stereo pre-out that can be used for a subwoofer with its own crossover.

While the STR-GX700ES may be of limited use as a surround sound receiver due to its somewhat dated technology in that area, it does offer excellent sound quality and more than adequate power for most applications.

Fantastic choice for driving a primary music system with light duty home theater duty.
