Onkyo TX-SR805 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) Reviews
The sound is AMAZING. And HDMI pass-thru is great. but I can live with that. A definite recommended buy.
I have my hd dvr and my ps3 hooked up to it and I couldn't be happier. I was planning on getting panasonic or sony for my PS3 to fully benefit from blu-ray, but a friend at work told me about their onkyo, so I checked on amazon and was about to buy, but then it sold out, so I found this bad boy instead, and had to get it, 400 bucks off can't beat that. HEAVY. It does run hot, and blows hot air right into my ps3, which causes loud fans to run.
No problems yet after over 2 months, just need a cooling unit and I'm golden. I was so excited when it arrived, I couldn't wait to set it up.
Sound quality is fantastic, though. As great as the 805 sounded, I refuse to get another ticking time bomb. Rich, open, detailed. As has happened to many other units, it started turning itself off immediately after being turned on. This receiver has an extremely noticeable delay in audio reproduction that has been well documented by the internet community. Heat production is also very high. Is that too much to ask.
Update: My 805 died on me after only one week of light apartment-volume use.
And doesn't break.
But for this much money, can't we expect a receiver that outputs video and audio at the same time.
Amazon won't let me change my star rating, but I'd give it two stars now.
Onkyo seems to have no interest in fixing it.
I had to buy separate fans to cool it.
I had to return it, and will be replacing it with a Denon AVR-988.
It makes the video "lead" audio, so that you hear everything too late, even with the receiver's audio delay settings at "0 ms." Putting the speaker distance at the maximum settings helps a bit, but if you use a CRT display that has no video delay, I can't recommend this receiver as it is nearly unwatchable.
Made my DVD's come alive and CD's had improved sound staging.
So it's an eclectic system - and this receiver has the muscle, brain-power and looks to handle all this really great. Buy it - you'll love it. I have to say - I am wowed by the ease, simplicity and efficiency of this receiver.
My HT system includes Definitive Tech speakers (the BP7004s - I love them), Polk Audio Center, Triad Sub, Samsung 52" LCDTV, Comcast cable DVR, Suny BluRay, and KEF sorrounds. PS: I got the Silver finish - not the black - I like that look more. Oh, and did I mention I have 2 additional music zones.
I bought this Onkyo receiver to replace an older Onkyo (the TX-DS787) receiver - mainly for the HDMI-connectivity and switching. As anyone who's bought independent components to set-up their HT/Home Audio system knows, wiring and configuration can be a serious project. Not so with this one.
Great product for the price. After shopping for several months, this unit is the one we have chosen and saved up for.
Onkyo TX-SR805 is a very good reciver. I'm very happy with it. Good amount of power. Onkyo makes the best home theater recivers.
