    Why????

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 29, 2007

    Pros: Cheap and Simple

    Cons: Muddy sound and Very few tuning options.

    I have run this amplifier extensively alongside other similarly priced stereo amps on Klipsch speakers, and must say am not impressed. The tone of the output varies with volume. In the bottom 25% of the volume spectrum, the bass is a (relative) 2-4dB too strong, muddying the sound quality. Then as the volume approaches "half" it becomes tonally sharp, and in the upper portions of output, very mid-heavy. this inconsistency drives me to be consistently adjusting the limited "bass" and "treble" controls just to achieve a clean sound.

    Only nice feature is that its cheap...

    Pros: Sounds Great

    Cons: Lacks Features

    It gives you a lot of sound control, and sound good. Lack input jacks (only has 2) my old MCS series has about 5.

    sony str-de197 receiver

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 7, 2004 | 1 out of 1 found this Sony STR-DE197 review helpful

    Pros: great radio reception in remote location's

    Cons: not enough fine tunning options

    You get very good radio reception, and enough power to do just about whatever you need for normal household use. lacks fine tunning for heavy music recording, but offers more than enough for all around use for the price.
