wuzzzer Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Picked up a 2004 Sony STR-DA5000ES receiver yesterday. $1,500 in 2004. Paid $40 for it. Always wanted to try out an ES series Sony. Heavy sucker! I'll be using it with my current 4.2 Heresy/RS-7/SVS SB-2000 setup until I sell the RS-7s. Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow after work to set it up and give it a listen. Anyone else have any Sony ES experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Bit of a surprise to me to go for Sony as oppose to Pioneer but, maybe Sony has something nowadays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one popped up about 45 minutes from me on FB marketplace. Listed for $50, I offered $40. Couldn't pass that up to at least give it a try! I love it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their regular line has never been raved about but their ES series has always had me intrigued, especially their 90s to early 2000s ES line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
