Onkyo TX SR805 7.1 channel Receiver

I bought the receiver because it had a great price, it could handle my 4 ohm speakers, and it was multi zone capable. The "pure audio" feature produces music with clarity and depth. One "con", I would like the display to stay on.

I purchased this receiver because it has all the new formats of sound to play with so far everything has been great and sounds great. I have purchased new speakers and they sound great with it. It is easy to assign things to the hdmi inputs and has on screen display to make it even easier. The only two things that I have to complain about are one if you have read the reviews on this item you will read that the audyssey sound setup is very erratic. Which is true it does not program your speakers right, so make sure that once you use it to set up your system go back in and adjust your speakers to the levels you want. The only other thing to complain about is that it doesn't have switching built in on it. But since the next cheapest receiver that does have it built in is $400 more I think I will be ok. Other than those minor things this is probably one of the best receivers out there for the money I highly recomend this system.

This receiver is a beast! I've had it for about 2 weeks now and I love it! The only drawback is its sheer size and the heat that it generates. Because of both of those, I had to remove the glass shelf above it on my component rack. Most shelving is rated for 50 lbs, but this unit is 52 lbs. That's not really going to make a difference but, due to its size, there wasn't enough clearance between the top of the unit and the self above it to dissipate the heat generated.

That being said, I can't find a single thing thing to complain about. I loved the speaker calibration. It has a plug-in microphone and you just set the microphone where you want the sweet spot and the receiver does the rest. It detects how many speakers you have and adjusts volumes based on speaker size and distance to the microphone. My surround has never sounded so good!

The remote is rather large, but it did do a good job learning from my other remotes, with the exception of my HD-DVD player.....won't control that one. It's a dead technology already and I'll eventually take the plunge and replace it with a Blu-Ray so I'm not too concerned.

Over-all, this is a great buy. The drawbacks are minor and the good features more than make up for them. My comlaints tend to be nit-picky, but that's only because I can't find much to complain about. I couldn't touch a THX certified receiver for anywhere near what I paid for this one. The THD and signal-to-noise ratio specs are excellent. I highly recommend it!!

This was very great also. Good condition, no problemas at all. The seeler was very helpful and fast to deliver the item.

Thanks

this amp. with klipsh speakers is the best I've had. when turned up the highs are absolutley clear. no squeal or break up. I'm near deaf so I have to turn up to hear. I also use blu ray dvd this picture is as clear as I've seen. I've had dynaco, macintosh, carver all with klipsh speakers and they do not come close to this receiver. for the money this can't be beat.

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. love the 805. however, the downsizing to 720p is a little bit, but otherwise, awesome unit.

This little receiver is the gateway to top quality surround sound!! It packs quite a punch with all the bells and whistles anyone could want. There are other receivers out there that provide slightly better sound and/or feature qualities, but at a much (much) higher cost!! This receiver provides the best BANG for the BUCK!! If you are interested in a QUALITY surround system without getting too high-end, look NO further!!

I have been a service technician for a major electronics store for over fifteen years and am HIGHLY involved with surround sound. I have had low-end equipment and high-end, custom equipment. This little engine's ride is WORTH the ticket price!!
