Customer Review: Still performs with superior execution...
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? This is my 2nd Onkyo unit. My last was 12 years ago and the technology is no where near the same standard, but at the time it performed well when I ran a dvd player with a built in 5.1 ch decoder it handled multi-channel assignments well. It performed graciously for me for about 3 years and when I upgraded to a Sony ES receiver I naturally threw that guy in the corner. Eventually I hooked a friend up with it to kick off his stereo for $50.00. I'm glad I gave him such a good deal, he had it for only about a year and it pooped out on him. So maybe I would have had disdain for Onkyo had it happened to me, but it didn't and I was always pleased with the performance of Onkyo.
So when Fry's had a sale back in early '08 for $699.00 on these guys, I ran home and starting doing research online about this well equipped fella. I did read about the overheating issue and concluded that I could give it the breathing room it needed as well a secondary ventilation source. But if the flaws are inherent in the chips or the design, it will blow anyway. But, with my configuration it stays cool with it on top of my Mitsubishi 55 inch 1080i HDTV (a monster of a set by todays standards 300lbs!)with just enough space to accomodate its pretty massive size and weight(61 lbs!#. I have had virtually no heating worries. This seems to be its #1 flaw. I have read some reviews about conversion problems, but this just isn't the case. The surround sound and audio quality is flat out impressive! I'm running a 7.1 with timbre matched Polk towers & sub- with some Paradigm surrounds. Amazing detail,crisp dialogue and sound effects.
I've owned the receiver now for about 15 months and between me constantly watching movies on my new Sony Blu-Ray BD-350 and my wife listening to Sirius & HD radio #both require seperate decoders, not built into unit)it is trucking along fine with no errors. I am running it through a power conditioner and do have a surface mounted fan blowing cool air over it- I highly recommend mounting an external fan to keep its temperature down!
I would say it is a gamble to but this unit, almost like it has a definite life span that looks to be limited. I am enjoying it and using to its potential, and thus far I am very pleased with it. So far I'm either blessed with a flawless unit or I am very lucky up to this point, but the gamble has been worth it so far and it performs like a dream. Hope it will continue to for at least 3 more years when I will definately upgrade to a Merantz, Harmon Kardon or Denon, probably Merantz- that thing has an angelic sound through some reference Paradigm speakers, wow!
Good luck if you choose to but this receiver. Its a gamble, but buy it with a retailer like Amazon and play with house money! :^P
Description of Onkyo TX-SR805 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)
In terms of the evolution of home entertainment, recent years have seen a quantum leap. It's a formidable progression when you think of 1080p high-definition video and broadcasts; studio-quality, lossless surround sound; spectacular gaming with stunning motion and graphics; and the emergence of portable satellite radio programming. Bundling all this potential, the TX-SR805 A/V surround receiver has been built to provide comprehensive control over all movies, music, broadcasts and gaming. But that barely begins to describe the TX-SR805's potential. Augmented by its THX Ultra2 certification, this receiver goes even further by bringing you sophisticated room correction technology, multi-zone capabilities, powerful bi-amping and dual push-pull amplification. The TX-SR805 provides a reference point for a new generation of high-definition A/V receivers.Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
