Maybe they are making them better now. I dunno. It's still hard to look at anything non-ES now, but ES is still kinda expensive, so I look at other manufacturers. Denon was my last receiver. Sony should not sacrifice quality on their lower end models. Features, yes, but not quality.]]>Sep 9th 2009 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/Sep 10th 2009 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/
Care to wait for a review?

Already previewed these have you?

Set it up and compared it to other units in a side by side?]]>Sep 10th 2009 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/
Sure...overpriced junk!

Hope that clarifies things for you.]]>Sep 10th 2009 1:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/
Sony has a great on screen menu that is very "wife" friendly.]]>Sep 10th 2009 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/Sep 10th 2009 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sony-polishes-a-couple-of-its-es-receivers-intros-the-str-da350/
Cost is a different story. Overpriced? Probably. But any savvy shopper will not pay $2000 for the 5500. You can probably pick one up (brand new) under $1500 on eBay from an authorized dealer.]]>Sep 25th 2009 10:51AM
