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 VSX-LX103

VS

Pros

    • The TV remote automatically turns the amp on/off and the TV's remote volume control runs the amp's volume up/down.
    • Works with Google Assistant so you can tell the VSX-LX103 to turn up the volume, skip tracks, or stop the music using a device with the Google Assistant built-in, like Google Home.

Cons

    • Bulky in size.
    • Some customers claim that this model is unreliable (it may stop working after a year of using).
