Summary:
i have had many recievers before the sony 7100es yamaha being my favorite.after setting up the sony and powering it up i have enjoyed this unit to the fullest and have explored every part of this unit to find things that are not right. guess what everything about this unit is perfect. sound is very accurate in all phases. as a past audio engineer i must say the word wow for sony engineers.i do not think i will have upgrade for awhile. i am using definitive technology speakers in my set up and the 7100 drives these speakers to new dimentions. subwoofer output is powerful and so is the center channel output. go out and buy one it will amaze you.

Strengths:
plenty of headroom loudest so far -23 and for this unit that is loud
transparent sound
high quality for a digital amplifier
decoders are very accurate
sharc processors are used again in this unit
low heat generation and no thermal modulation
suppresses sub when turning on power so sub thump
takes you to new heights in sound quality
sonys five year warranty best in the business
equipment consists of 52inch hd tv.10 speakers.2channel pwr amp.behringer 24bit studio pocessor for added affects.alesis limiter for subwoofer output.dvd player.dvd recorder.sat tuner.31 band spectrum display.hts-5000 pwr conditioner.1750 watts of controlled subwoofer power

Weaknesses:
no on screen volume display but that is okay

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
