Price match available at Heathcote.
For this price, probably the best value product out there if you're looking for a 7.2ch/2 zone AV receiver.
Google said Yes.
Must be true then 😂
The rear pic on whathifi and avforums are different. check the number of speaker binding posts, in WhatHiFi there are only 7(*2). the one onsale in JB is the 7 post one.
Looks like a good entry to ATMOS/DTS:X world.
Good catch! Seems like the one at whathifi and jbhifi share the binding posts between 6th and 7th height surround speaker outputs with the zone 2 stereo output. Probably best to check at jbhifi to see what variant they habe. Sometimes their photos can be astray.
Does anyone have a recommendation of 5.1 speakers to pair up with this?
I got a q acoustics 3010 home cinema pack to pair with the model below this particular receiver, the 590 I think. I got it on clearance and I've been very happy with especially considering the price.
You can price match at the Sony Store too
Can this run in a zone 2 configuration, if you only need 5.1 and 2 chn stereo outside?
