5.0 out of 5 stars properly tested, August 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Onkyo TX-SR800 THX Select 7.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver (Electronics)

This is an awesome Reciever. The person who rated this with only two stars has no idea how to test a reciever of this caliber. I used a 7.1 channel Cambridge Soundworks speaker system to test this monster(T500's), also compaired it against a real reciever(Harmon/Kardon 525) and it did more than advertise. The seven seperate powered channels alone speak for themselves(which no other company makes).

This is Onkyo's best product for the price and it doesn't disapoint! THX only gives certification to the best built recievers which usually cost serveral thousands of dollars. I have this one and love it. In order to maximize the benefit of this system you have to hook up a decent speaker system. I used Bose direct/reflect system and makes for a 'theater like' experience. This unit is worth every cent!!

2.0 out of 5 stars blah, July 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Onkyo TX-SR800 THX Select 7.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver (Electronics)

Did a side-by-side comparison at home with my old Yamaha DSP-A1 (which is Dolby Pro-Logic only) and I honestly didn't hear any improvement over the Yamaha after about a week of watching THX certified DVDs on a Sony Elite player with very good Paradigm speakers (7 speaker configuration for Onkyo, 5 for Yamaha). Actually I preferred the Yamaha which had a warmer and richer sound. The Onkyo is going back to Circuit City this week.
