Just purchased some vintage speakers and the guy threw in his str v55. I didn't even want it, but said oh sure,, because I didn't want to insult him. Hate Sony and won't by anything Sony, ever. Hooked it up to my infinity rs5b's to hear the distorted crappy sound, compared to the pioneer sx 1980.
Well how do you think it compared?
It feels like an empty pizza box.
What a joke.
OK what the heck, Um it sounds good I think.
Let's wind it up a bit!
You must be kidding this thing sounds really good.
Lets make sure we have a good clean input source so I don't break anything and hit 1 pm on the volume. Wow. Surprise surprise.
Very nice. Clean, strong, bass notes hit like a hammer. Very useful receiver for 8 ohm speakers and the infinity's are 4 ohms.
Great test unit for speaker work
Its a sleeper and a keeper. Soon it might be worth 100 bucks.
