Sony has loaded its 2023 AV receiver lineup with HDMI 2.1, 8K, and Dolby Atmos, plus some surprises like wireless speaker and Sonos compatibility.
Sony has seriously upped its AV receiver game for 2023. With the introduction of its STR-AN1000 and four new ES-series models, Sony has added support for Sonos and compatibility with the same wireless speakers and subwoofers that are used to augment Sony’s HT-A Series soundbars. The new models start at $900 for the STR-AN1000 and go as high as $3,300 for the flagship STR-AZ7000ES. They’ll be available later this spring.
The addition of the Works With Sonos capability comes as something of a surprise. It lets you connect a Sonos Port, which can then automatically power on the AVR and switch to the appropriate input simply by using the Sonos app instead of having to manually perform these tasks using the AVR’s remote. We’ve seen AVRs from companies like Pioneer and Onkyo offer Works With Sonos, but that’s because these brands don’t have their own multiroom wireless audio solution.
And speaking of speakers, you now have the choice of going wireless for your subwoofer and your surround speakers, giving you the best of both wired and wireless worlds. The 2023 AVRs are compatible with Sony’s SA-SW3 and SA-SW5 wireless subs and SA-RS3S and SA-RS5 wireless surrounds. You can use up to two of the wireless subs, but they have to be the same model — no mixing/matching.
As with past models, all of the AVRs support hi-res audio via wired and Wi-Fi sources, as well as wireless hi-res audio via Sony’s LDAC Bluetooth codec. DSD is supported and you can use Sony’s DSEE Ultimate to upscale any lossy audio sources you might want to play, like Spotify.
