Look! Shiny new Sony Recievers
Having resolved to buy the STR-DA1200ES on your firm recommendation (to be combined with Sony DVD Recorder and Q Acoustic 1010s to cater for movies and music) I now find that Sony have released a new batch of recievers - notably the DG910, which appears to be smaller, better (blu-ray capable etc) and £100 cheaper than the 1200!
For some reason none of the DG range is on the Sony website - have you had a chance to look at them?
would be interesting to see how the 1200ES compares to the DG910 - as they are about the same price online at the £300 mark - not sure which one to buy, I look forward to your views.
And to reiterate that because of our odd publishing schedule (13 issues a year, to include the Awards special edition) that November issue is actually on sale 20th September.
That receivers Group Test is already shaping up to be a hot one, with the new Onkyo and Denon models set to be up against the new Sony, too.
We covered the new Sony range here on the site some time back - AFAIK we have an STR-DG910 in for test at the moment, and it's scheduled to appear in the November issue.
