I agree that a sub out on the Sony would be an awesome addition, but at $148 you can't complain. I use it in a 2.1 setup and as you stated, having the ability to turn toggle the subwoofer on/off with the remote is super convenient. I also find the option to adjust the bass/treble via the remote puts it over the top.

Believe it or not the Tuner in the Sony STR 190 isn't bad at all. I've heard many negative reviews on it but maybe i live in a more receptive area, i'm pulling in plenty of stations crisp and clear. With that being said, i'm using the Tuner section as a stand alone component hooked up to the Yamaha A S301 so i'm getting the best of both worlds. I would have kept the Sony STR 190 as my main unit but running my 4 OHM Wharfedales made me uneasy so i upgraded to the A S301 which can handle the 4 OHM load. But you can't go wrong with either units for the price.

Great deep dive. I own the Yamaha AS 501 and the Sony STR 190 and pretty much agree. With low impedance, challenging speakers, at loud volume, is where the Yamaha will remain more relaxed and cool. Honestly, the Sony with Bluetooth is a steal at less than $200.

Totally a steal! When compared to the Class D offerings, the feature set is so complete on the STR-190: Remote, bluetooth, phono, FM tuner, etc....

I have both and prefer the features and sound of the sony. They are close but i can listen to the sony for hours and hours not the case with the yami the analytical nature gets to be a little much after a short time. Also the Bluetooth on the sony is insanely good for Bluetooth. And every amp company in the world should have sony engineers design their remotes its excellent. I also really like being able to label the inputs individually. The dh190 with a smsl su1 dac is where the sony outclasses the yami and its built in dac. Also the phono stage in the sony is a little better hooked to my fluance its remarkably good for a phono in a 150$ amp. I got my sony open box for 89$
