Sony STR-AZ7000ES Bench Test Results and Feature Overview

In this video, our own Matthew Poes takes an initial look at the Sony STR-AZ7000ES 13.2CH 8K AV receiver. This exciting new receiver from Sony is packed with unique features not found on any other receiver, such as 3D remapping, multiple center channel outputs, and the ability to connect with Bravia devices and TV's. It has 360 reality sound, Sony's unique take on multichannel audio for music. In addition, this receiver is built like a flagship product should be, containing a powerful 150 watt per channel amplifier module across 13 channels. We put this receiver to the test and found it to be a powerhouse with good performance across the board and a compelling feature set. This receiver certainly deserves your consideration if your on the market for a flagship level all-in-one box solution to power a sophisticated home theater or multi-channel music playback system. 0:00 Introduction 0:40 Features & Specs 4:08 Center Speaker Feature 6:48 Integrator Centric Design 8:00 Power Measurements 17:00 Measurements Summary 21:00 Sony 360 Reality Audio 23:00 Competition For the full written review, please visit: https://www.audioholics.com/av-receiv... ► Sony STR-AN1000: https://bit.ly/SonySTRAN1000 ► Sony STR-AZ3000ES: https://bit.ly/SonySTRAZ3000ES ► Sony STR-AZ5000ES: https://bit.ly/SonySTRAZ5000ES ► Sony STR-AZ7000ES: https://bit.ly/SonySTRAZ7000ES Shop Audio Advice: https://bit.ly/3thUFI1 Recommended Headphones: JBL Tour One M2: https://bit.ly/JBLTourOneM2-headphones Focal Bathys: https://bit.ly/FocalBathyswireless Focal Celestee: https://bit.ly/Focalcelestee Mark Levinson 5909: https://bit.ly/MarkLevinson5909 Sony WF-1000XM3: https://bit.ly/SonyIEMs Recommended Subwoofers: SVS SB-1000 Pro: https://audioadvice.io/36Pea3a SVS PB-1000 Pro: https://audioadvice.io/3sreeyk SVS SB-3000: https://bit.ly/SVSSB3000Sub Paradigm Defiance X12: https://bit.ly/ParadigmX12 Perlisten D15s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenD15s Perlisten R212s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR212s Perlisten R210s: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR210s Arendal 1961 1S or 1V: https://bit.ly/Arendal1961sub Arendal 1723 1S Sub: https://bit.ly/Arendal17231Ssub Recommended AV Separates Trinnov Altitude 32: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAltitude32 Trinnov Altitude 16: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAltitude16 Trinnov Amplitude 16: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAmplitude16 Trinnov Amplitude 8: https://bit.ly/TrinnovAmplitude8 Recommended AV Receivers: Onkyo TX-RZ50 ($1,599): https://bit.ly/OnkyoTXZ50 Denon AVR-X3800H 9.2CH AV Receiver: https://bit.ly/DenonX3800h Marantz Cinema 50: https://bit.ly/MarantzCinema50 Yamaha RX-A2A: https://audioadvice.io/3ppWFg9 Denon AVR-X6700H 11.2CH AV Receiver: https://audioadvice.io/3HsdEou Anthem MRX1140: https://bit.ly/AnthemMRX1140 Anthem AVM 90 15.4CH Processor: https://bit.ly/AnthemAVM90 NAD M23: https://bit.ly/NADm23amp Recommended Center Channels: SVS Prime Center: https://bit.ly/SVSPrimecenter Paradigm Premier 500C: https://bit.ly/Paradigm500C Revel C208: https://bit.ly/RevelC208 Recommended Speakers: SVS Prime 5.1 Speaker / Sub System: https://audioadvice.io/3JZJOt5 JBL HDI-3800: https://bit.ly/JBLHDI3800sale Polk R700 Tower Speakers: https://audioadvice.io/3C0TK2B Arendal 1961 Monitor: https://bit.ly/Arendal1961Monitor Monolith Encore T6: https://bit.ly/EncoreT6 Klipsch RP-8000F II Tower Speakers: https://audioadvice.io/3445l4A Arendal 1723S Tower Speakers: https://bit.ly/Arendal1723s Focal Aria K2 936: https://bit.ly/3zVAxi5 Focal Kanta No2: https://bit.ly/Focalkantano2 Sony SSCS5 Speakers:https://audioadvice.io/3td2O0w SVS Prime Elevation Surround: https://audioadvice.io/35aZCdR MartinLogan Motion XT F100: https://bit.ly/MartinLoganF100 MartinLogan Motion XT F200: https://bit.ly/MartinLoganF200 MartinLogan Motion F10: https://bit.ly/MartinLoganF10 MartinLogan Motion XT B100: https://bit.ly/MartinLoganB100 Perlisten S7t Limited Edition: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7tLE Perlisten S7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS7towers Perlisten R7t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR7t Perlisten R5t: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR5t Perlisten S3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenS3ic Perlisten R3ic: https://bit.ly/PerlistenR3ic Audioholics Recommended Cables: 250ft CL2 12AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/2vwS9QH 50ft 10AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/3DeMTT5 Locking Banana Plugs: https://amzn.to/2ZQt15x 9ft 4K HDR HDMI Cables: https://amzn.to/2WiIXeD Disclaimer: Audioholics earns commissions from qualifying purchases with the Affiliate Links used in the description of this video.
