Decent but not great.
| Bought this reciever back in 2000 and have been using it daily ever since. I utilize it to listen to everything from vinyl to DTS 5.1...And I mean EVERYTHING. The receiver is very clean and in stereo, the 55 watts overpowers many manufacturers "100 watt" rating. It is a great musical reciever. I also own an Onkyo TX-8211(50w ch stereo only) reciver and the two are identical in clairty. However something about the reciever in Surrond mode, isnt quite "stunning". The sound, albeit good, isnt great and the volume could stand to be a bit louder. I'm not one of those people who likes to turn the volume to the max just to get loudness. Maximum volume is usually at or over the threshold in which the reciever can efficiently operate. The sound also seems somewhat dull and lifeless at times. Onkyo makes great products and I am not denying this one, But there just seems as if there is something "not right" with this reciever. Its about time to upgrade and I'm currently looking into Denon as an alternative. |

Great Tuner
| Solid, simple, sounds good. We live in a fringe area for FM reception -- heard stations perfectly this morning that hadn't heard in years. |
