Stereo Receiver Ventilation

The best stereo receiver I’ve ever owned! If you want the best, this is it!

This stereo receiver was one of my better online purchases!

I use it to connect my tape deck to the stereo receiver.

I have a 7.2 surround receiver with all of the common components (Blu Ray, Amp, DIRECTV, Apple TV etc) which are housed in a cabinet (per my wife's request) that only has front Shutters for ventilation. Because of this I needed additional ventilation for my receiver to ensure it stayed cool. I owned an AV fan similar to this from another company and while it performed well it only lasted a couple of years. I think it's likely because the fan stayed on all day every day. When it came time to look for a replacement I searched many different companies. I found the prices all over the board but I had a few requirements, it needed to vent out the top vs the back, and must have the ability to monitor the air temp and adjust fan speed or come on/off automatically. AC Infinity fit the bill 100% and was priced better than the competition. The one item that I wasn't looking for but love is the fact that this unit can expand by adding additional fans hooked up to the back so if I want to add fans to the cabinet itself I can. The unit itself is very well built, and looks great. It has a built in display that shows everything from fan speed, to settings and temperature. It also has a built in alarm that can alert you if there is a problem. For some you may think this is overkill but when you own a $1k receiver you don't want it getting fried due to the lack of air space around it. The fan noise is minimal, and can get louder as te fan goes faster but this is only the case when the receiver gets hot and that's only when it cranking the volume which obviously drowns out the fan noise, but at normal volume/use, I can't even notice the fan noise. I am moving into a new home in two weeks and will be using this in an AV closet where I know I will need to expand this with some small fans so I hope to write some updates soon!

I bought the stereo receiver for the price and Sony name

I'd been looking for a stereo receiver to incorporate with my existing sound system and this Tree Receiver fit the bill.

i bought this stereo Receiver to replace my old receiver that i gave to my son i was looking for something that used just two speakers and maybe i could connect my sub woofer to it this was the one i could afford plus sony makes good products so i bought this on and i really like it
