Sony STR-DH590 review

Sony STR-DH590 is a rather restrained model, designed to power up to 5 compact speakers. This receiver can deliver up to 145 W/channel which is undoubtedly a plus versus the opponent in this Denon AVR-S540BT vs Sony STR-DH590 comparison, which has a power of only 70 W/channel. Such huge power allows STR-DH590 to be used for medium and large living rooms. However, Sony has equipped its receiver with a Sony DCAC automatic calibration system with a microphone to optimize playback in any room.
