    I have this Sony STR-DB790 amp paired with a set of Bose Acoustimass 10 speakers and it is truly awesome. The bass is room shakingly deep and through the whole range the sound quality is crystal clear. Even using the tuner function the sound is great. Overall a perfect combination.

    I have bought the Sony DB790 with Sony SA-WM500B Sub and Jamo E350 Floor speakers and surround speakers. I am very happy with the results. Bass is very good and the clarity for the Jamo speakers is also very good. Cannot hear any distortion when volume is very loud.

    I bought this Sony STR-DB790 AMP/RECEIVER when I wanted to add surround sound to my setup, it replaced an Arcam Alpha and in 'direct' stereo mode I can't tell the difference - enough said. The internal D/A converter is pretty nice too. In summary I now have a stereo setup that's as good as it was with the Arcam and a DVD that sounds better than the local multiplex.
