 Great Sound, runs hot. September 4, 2008
I Had an Onkyo TX-SR803 that was destroyed by a lightning strike to our house. I upgraded to the TX-SR805. I am very please with the additional power of the 805. The sound quality is great and it brings an HD movie to life. I like the on screen display for the setup menu. This unit is much heaver then the 803 but that is expected with the larger amp for the added power. Only two small complaints are that with the extra power of the 805 produces a lot more heat then the 803. Not really a problem unless you use an enclosed entertainment cabinet. I have since removed the glass front door and installed a fan to the back of the cabinet to move air around this unit. The other small inconvenience is the remote. This may only apply to someone like me who upgraded from a previous model, and is used to using the old remote. The button location for "guide" and "exit" are reversed from the 803s remote to the 805s remote. Why not just keep them in the same place. The additional HDMI input is nice. Now I use only the HDMI inputs and output and it really allows the cable clutter to be kept to a minimum. The 7 sets of speaker wires can still be a pain unless wrapped and tied up neatly. For the price I paid ($690 shipping included), this was a GREAT purchase and I would recomend this to anyone who wants great sound. In a nut shell, This is an outstanding receiver.
 Worth the money!! August 31, 2008
I have only had it for 3 weeks, but it was well worth the money! With my (Blu-Ray) Sony BDP-350 and Optima HD65 projector hooked to Onkyo SKS-HT750B speakers it is unbeleaveable! This receiver can make cheap speakers sound good! Set up is a snap with the included microphone and on screen menu. The new SR806 has component video upconverting and more HDMI ports, but with three in and one out it is plenty for me. The family really enjoys the new home theater, you won't be disapointed.
Best AV gear I have bought in a long time August 30, 2008
This by far is the most bang for the buck AV receiver I have looked at,the sound is amazing along with the video upscaling,and you get the new Dolby True HD and DTS-Master audio formats.I have this hooked up to my Samsung 1080p 46 inch tv along side my PS3.Awesome is the word I can say.I look forward to more Onkyo products in the future.
Money well spent August 27, 2008
This was an upgrade from an older Onkyo 505 series (no HDMI support. I can't say enough good things about it. Setup was simple and straight forward. Took less than 30 minutes. Came with mic so that I could auto-calibrate surround sound. No problems as of this writing. It is connected to Polk Monitor7 series speakers, PS3 and Sony Bravia. Great and vital addition. Highly recommend this product.
Best receiver in price rage by far. August 17, 2008
Prior to purchasing this receiver I was running a HTIB Onkyo receiver from about 4-5 years ago. Although rated at 100w/channel it doesn't come near the perfomance of the 805. First off, setup was super easy with the on screen menues. The Audyssey is also a breeze to run and is also very accurate IMO. Everything is crystal clear even at high volumes with Totem Dreamcathcers and Outlaw lfm-2 sub. I have an old progressive Phillips DVD player running through the 805 via component then to my Samsung ln-t4665 and i think it looks good. I don't have a Blu-ray player yet so I cannot coment on any of the new audo formats or 1080p pass through. As far as my HD DVR player I have it hooked straight to my TV and audio to 805 via optical.
In any case, I dont think you will find a receiver that will come in performance and features for this price.
