Pros & Cons

Sony STRDH590 5.2 Channel Surround

VS

Pros

    • Low weight (18.25 pounds), which allows moving the device easily.
    • Small size (19.1 x 13.6 x 6.9 inches). Thanks to this peculiarity the receiver fits in almost all shelves.
    • The Bluetooth works without problems and it was easy to connect it.
    • 30 preset FM stations, which perform different music styles.

Cons

    • It can’t work with an Apple AirPlay (sad news for Apple fans).
    • On-screen GUI menu is incomplete, so the setting was uneasy.

Pioneer Elite A-20

VS

Pros

    • The output sound is rich, crisp and deep – it is not distorted and you get no hum or distortion at high volume.
    • It does not become hot due to well-designed heat sinks.
    • The remote controller is super ergonomic and it allows you to do anything you want.

Cons

    • Some units are not reliable – some of them may fail after 2-4 months of exploitation.
