The amazing invisible amp. October 31, 2008
Arthur Hampton (Rohnert Park, CA USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this receiver to replace a fine amp, preamp combo that was 25 years old and had served me well (a NAD). So this one has a tuner built in - oh well. I'll almost never play the radio. But this unit is just amazing. It impresses me as being totally transparent. There is no noise, no hum, no nothing to let me know that I'm listening to a cd, unless the signal is on the cd or other audio source. Either stuff has gotten a lot better in the last 25 years, or my hearing has deteriorated. Heh heh - both are true. I've only had it two days, so I know nothing of durability. It's driving a couple of IMF speakers which are quite power hungry - no sweat, they just sing beautifully.
A True Best Buy... September 27, 2008

I've wondered at times about some of the glowing reviews I've read online over the years for various products: Are these real folks or PR plants from manufacturers? (Hey, it happens all the time in the hotel biz.) br / br /So... if you share my suspicions, no, despite what follows, I don't work for Onkyo in any way shape or form--but I have been involved with audio in various capacities for many years. And... the last time I got this excited about a piece of electronics Ronald Reagan was president... br / br /In short, if you're considering replacing an older receiver (or any receiver you're not currently totally in love with) and you aren't looking for surround sound or lots of bells and whistles, this is your amp. It has a rich, lush (very tube like) sound, and it doesn't sweat driving 4 ohm speakers very loudly (trust me, I know.) br / br /But let's stay respectful: If you're looking to fart out bass at 130db, please don't waste your time with this receiver. There are cheaper models on the market you can abuse. Please do. br / br /Power. Clarity. Smoothness and functionality. Especially for well under $200 I doubt this receiver will ever meet its match. br /
No frills, good sound September 13, 2008

This receiver replaced a Sony STR 397 that had a continuous static problem that was never fixed. I gave up on the Sony and bought the Onkyo. I use it to power two Polk tower speakers hooked up to my HDTV and DVD player. br / br /The receiver is basic, no frills. Bass, treble and balance controls are on the front panel. There is no loudness control. There are multiple memory settings for music stations. All the standard connections are in the back including an input for an iPod (docking station extra). The tuner works well and has standard scanning for stations. br / br /The receiver is rated at 50W per channel. It is plenty adequate for the Polks. The sound is clear and unvarnished. It produces a crisper, cleaner sound than the Sony. br / br /For sound reproduction without lots of frills and buttons, this has proved an excellent choice. I am very pleased with the item. br / br /Once again, I have to complement Amazon for having excellent pricing and incredible free shipping that is fast.
