THE best stereo receiver available for under $400.00 today.
| I am an avid music lover who has no interest in home theater. As a result, I bought this receiver and am extremely well-pleased with it. Not only does it provide a very realistic and wide soundstage with most well-recorded, well-masterd CDs...its ability to reveal subtle musical detail is nothing short of remarkable. The Onkyo TX-8522 is a rare brand of receiver in that it boasts enormous and very impressive power-handling capability while being able to reproduce the entire audible spectrum realistically. Very highly recommended. |

Good 2-channel receiver
This receiver replaces an ONKYO TX-V940 bought in 1995 or so.

Deceptive Wattage Rating
| For the person who said that this is a 100 watt amp, it isn't - at least not using normal measuring practices. Power is normally rated for 8 Ohm loads,for which this receiver is rated at 65 watts, not 100 watts. Any receiver roughly doubles its power rating when the Ohm rating is halved. It's deceptive on Onkyo's part tout this as a 100 watt receiver by measuring it with a four ohm load. |
