When attached to good components it can be the center of a very serious stereo system, capable of articulating most any type of music at great or modest volume. Perhaps one the last of the strong stereo only units to be built. I'll use my numbers to compensate for it a little, not that it matters much. Just some fun. Get one if you can.
Sound quality is excellent especially at the price paid.
I purchased it for my bedroom system, I originally was going to do a 5.1 surround system, but my wife said enough is enough. So I settled in on a 2 channel system. These all sounded great in a 5.1 setup, and most were adequate for 2 channel. Unfortunately, whenever I engaged the dsp, it created static in all channels. I compared it to the Denon 3801 and to my surprise it beat the 3801 for 2 channel stereo.
