Sony DSX-GS80 High-Power Digital Media Receiver

Who doesn’t love a two-for-one? Sony’s DSX-GS80 digital media receiver offers the sound boost of a four-channel Class-D amplifier along with the satisfying features of a great Sony car stereo. Boasting 45 watts RMS output per channel, it’ll take your system to a level once reserved for external power amps. Sony even lets you choose between powering four speakers, or four speakers and a sub! You can tweak that output with an impressive array of sound-shaping tools, including a 10-band EQ, time alignment, and comprehensive frequency filters.
