i am looking at the sony es (elevated standards) line of receivers. typically i wouldn't consider the sony line, however i basically have $600 which must be spent on a sony product.
it seems that sony (as well as some other popular brands) have a reduced reputation in the audio field. some of this is to be expected given sony's saturation of the consumer (cheaper-is-better-quality-isnt-important) market.
so, my question for the forum is can sony still make a quality product? is the "es" line as good as some people say or is it "crap" like others say? i am looking for honest *unbiased* opinions and comments.
