Add Your Review for the avr 5700 |
Purchased 4 months ago and use with Energy C-8 for fronts with C-2 for surround with a Klipsch center and sub woofer. I am absolutley blown away by the clarity and sound stage. Vocals seem to float right in front about 3 feet off the floor just as if you were front row at a concert. My comparison / reference recording is Cirque De Soliel's sound track of Allegria. I have heard a new recording despite having owned this cd for a number of years. Highly recommend this receiver !! I was able to get the local dealer to knock off $200 for an out the door price of $2600.

I saw Cirque Du Soleil perform Alegria live in Hong Kong many years ago.
A truly amazing event! The sound track CD is pretty good too .Have you seen their new show, Saltimbanco ?
