I also have the Wharfedale Denton 80th speakers paired with the SONY STRDH 190 and the sound is fantastic!!!

Very comfortable sound! Thank you!

Sounds great me and my wife both like these speakers and we currently have this amp we got for 99 bucks during black Friday we use it with a Fluance RT85 turntable and streaming it is a Great receiver

Sounds good …. We’ll matched and the value

I think we may need a shootout between this Sony, the Yamaha R202, and the Onkyo 8220

I own both the str-dh190 and the R-S202. I would love a shootout here because it takes me too long to switch speaker wires to really compare. R-S202 produces much more low frequency bass but the Sony seems more dynamic.

​@@DougMen1Yes but remembering to switch one amp off before turning on the other to avoid any damage.

Sounds as good as the two Denons and the other Sony. Not bad for $200, and 100W/channel to boot

Maybe I'm not giving this little amp it's proper cred. The Dentons/Peachtree combo is technicaly better maybe, but this pair is just as fun, and would remain more enjoyble to me through a wider array of music and listening preferences. While the Peachtree adds definition, more listening fatique will come knocking with it, I'd bet.

I find this very similar to the Denon DRA800H and it's a great bang for the buck straight forward amp if you can find one.

Here's a sound sample of Andrew Jones' latest speaker for Mobile Fidelity, very much in the Tannoy tradition, a 10" dual-concentric driver for $5k a pair. I think they're definitely too big and bassy for small rooms kzread.info/dash/bejne/dYlqmdSDY5bLito.html

@@DougMen1 I once saw Harbeths described that way and I think it suits them. The M30s are the most most thrummy to me. They add a texture to the mid range, like a resonance which shouldn't be there but sounds "right", especially on the M30s. A car tyre is said to thrum on the the road surface. From Oxford English dictionary : make a continuous rhythmic humming sound.

@@davidcarr2216 So Harbeths thrumbs like an old tire. I knew there was something I don't love about them, when on paper I probably should. It's the thrummping...thrumming

they seem good, but nothing surprises

This amp is still a good sonic value, but to me it's just not as clear, detailed, vivid or nearly as sweet and lifelike in it's midrange as the STRDG500. (RIP) 😬... and some other amps of course
