Sony STR DA3600ES AV Network Receiver7.1 channel Audio/Video Receiver. Stereo Surround Sound,100 watts/ 8 ohms, weight 28 lbs. Originally was $1100, it is in very good condition both remotes are included. The ES is Sony's "elevated standard" series. A copy of the 160 page owner's manual is included.
This one is ambitious for the market. At US$250, it sits well above the US$143 75th percentile of recent comps and far over the US$70 median, so it would need unusually strong completeness or condition to justify the ask.
For a 5.1-channel Sony setup, the appeal is usually straightforward: a convenient all-in-one surround package that can be a solid entry point for a bedroom, den, or second system, especially if it includes the original speakers, sub, and remote. In very_good condition that’s worth paying up for, but at this level I’d want confirmation of every channel working cleanly, no amplifier hum, and all included accessories before calling it a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
