Dont shit on crosley. It helps people get into a great hobby at a fucking great price point. It’s like shitting on guitarists for having a squire strat instead of an american standard strat.
Why is the "high end" brand Sony?
About 1998: I tried to ask a Sony receiver to deliver about 80% published RMS. After about two minutes it went into a protection mode, never to recover, bricked.
About 2005: A used Sony 5.1 HT setup's receiver failed. The speakers said 4 Ohm on them. An HK 4 ohm stable receiver begs to differ. Speakers went to Craigslist.
I've been avoiding Sony for nearly 20 years. Are they doing something right for playback devices such as a CD player?
My friends high end sony system with square speakers (yeah I'm old) kept poping the speaker coils out of their sockets at 70% power. His 600$ sony dvd player would not play burned DVDs. My Phillips amp would power my realistic home made speakers up to 100% and they could still take a lot more (200W RMS amp and 275W designed speakers) and my weird named 65$ DVD would even play DIVX movies on burned DVDs. Fuck Sony.
