I was looking to replace an old Sony 2 channel receiver I've had for 5 years. This is my first Onkyo purchase. It looks strangely similar to the Sony. Sound quality is great for a low cost 100-watt receiver. Plenty of inputs for all my components. Looks good, sounds good. You can’t go wrong with this unit.
