Onkyo TX-SR605 7.1 Channels Receiver Review

I've had my new receiver for a week now. My last one died the week before. After doing several review researches for what has the best bang for the buck, I chose this receiver and so far am very happy.

The remote is a little finicky... While I have been able to get it to do the basics for my other components, I can't put them away.

The auto EQ worked very well for me. I feel that the sounds are very crisp and the dialogs are easier to understand/hear. My speakers are old and very in age with the oldest being 24 years old... Sony APMs; my front channel, Center is a Bose center... Sub-Woofer is from Yamaha and my surround are Bose 301s. No rear surrounds (yet).

I felt for the money, this is a very nice receiver. I spent more on my old one about 9 - 10 years ago. So, for less than I spent then, I have a receiver that should keep me happy for a long time to come.

I took my time setting it up... Wasn't hard, but wanted to be sure since it was a new one. I was able to use fewer cables since it was able to convert from different type source to another. My old one could not. If analog... had to go analog to the TV. If S-Vid then S-vid etc. A very nice change and less clutter behind the entertainment center.

If you're in the market, I would recommend this receiver.
