Horrible tech support, cheap construction. Sounds terrible. Contacted Onkyo tech support they suggested that I return it to amazon. This thing was dead out of the box. I ordered a new one from Amazon, the left channel worked on and off, until it died. Again, contacted Tech Support, they know nothing. Purchased a Yamaha RX 497 and I love it!

Like many reviewers, I was replacing an old tube receiver, a 30+ year old Realistic. I feared I would never be able to replace that warm, rich tube sound, but this reciever surprised me.
I consider myself a bit of an audiophile, I'm the tyoe who uses 10-12 gauge speaker wire, so I'm picky about my sound. I first set up just speaker A's and then added speaker B's and did not notice a drop in sound quality. I have found that having the voluume set around 35-40 is more than enough for my one bedroom condo. I did try it at 60 and did not notice any distortion in sound. I listen mostly to classical music, and there was no hum during soft passages.
I would have rated it at a five, but there are a few disappointments that have nothing to do with the sound quality. This model seems to cater to the user who is replacing their ancient receivers, so I would have expected some provision for compatibility with older connector tyoes.
One reason I selected this model was that it supported phonographs,

I'm very pleased with this receiver. I'm about as far from a "techy" as I can be, but it didn't take me too long to get it all set up with the new HDTV, CD player, DVD and speakers. I'm still learning about all it can do but at this point I feel it was a good choice for the money. Looks nice, too!

If you plan to buy an Onkyo product don't count on tech support of help. I purchased the TX-8555 and a Polk subwoofer from Amazon, who's service was excellent, and connected them using the single subwoofer port on the receiver. I can't get the sub to work and suspect the receiver has to be set up through the remote control.
The remote control, however, seems to be stuck in zone 2 mode. The manual offers no help and for 3 day I have not been able to reach Tech Support.

Have had the receiver for a few weeks now and just love it. It is a solid piece of machinery, very heavy and will get hot, so you probably don't want to park anything on top of it, or park in on top of anything. Lovely to look at in the front and the back is all business -- more plugs than most of us might ever use. (right now am just using CD and tuner, may add DVD and TV later.) The remote is a nice add-on, and could help keep the fingerprints off the receiver, an added plus. Of course, the reason I really this receiver is the way it sounds; it really makes the music glow. My old speakers have never sounded so good.
