 Great Stereo Receiver April 14, 2008

Yes, I would buy this same unit all over again. What is not to like? I also really appreciate the Amazon reviews which allow me to gather real information from other buyers.

I am very disappointed with this product. I ordered this receiver after reading high rated reviews. I am replacing a 25 year old Harmon Kardon amplifier that finally fizzled. The sound quality of this receiver is so poor that it is unbeleivable. I have purchased low price radios at Walmart that sound better.There is no midrange and the bass is weak at best. I also have a worn out 25 year old Sherwood amp that I have compared it to so I know that it is not my speakers. This unit just does not have it. I also purchased the Onkyo 390 Cd player and found it to be less than wowing. This will be my last Onkyo purhase.

I am a long time music lover and amateur electric guitar player. I needed a receiver for a simple home stereo set-up. I received this unit today.
When I started the process of reading review after review and visiting different stores, my primary desire was for a receiver that would accept a turntable. I wanted around 50 watts per channel (stereo) with a bunch of inputs and a good tuner. Clear, quality sound with a wide frequency response was very important. My limit was about $300 US. This unit was the best fit.
This receiver is for my living room and is being used with 27 year old Sansui 3-ways rated for 50 watts (I have had these connected to 35 and 50 watt amps in the past), a Technics turntable and a Sony disc changer. At a little past halfway on the volume knob my speakers are starting to distort. Ample power for my needs.
Very good sound separation and quality to my ears. Would be excellent if the bass response was a little punchier. Don't get me wrong, I am happy with the sound.
The tuner brings in a stronger FM signal than my last receiver did and has plenty of presets.
Many nice features on this receiver like the remote control functions and XM capability.
At $220 I have no complaints and think that this is a great deal.

I read the previous reviews on this receiver. It does generate some heat - I put it at the top of the cabinet - no problems yet. Plan on adding some ventilation fans. The sound is great. The wife was gone so I took the Cerwin Vega's for a ride - loud enough to put a decent wave in the refreshment glass and cause pain to my hearing without any noticable distortion. The front panel is easy to use - no instruction book needed. Great product at the price.
