Onkyo - TX-SR805 Receiver Review

This receiver has numerous options for configuring speaker setup, including supporting bi-amping for truly large di-pole speaker sound.  It supports all current decoding schemes (including Dolby 7.1) and future standards. 

Some feature highlights include:  Full HD bandwidth support, 7 band equalizer, 3 HDMI inputs, 1 HDMI output, automatic speaker calibration and a host of digital inputs.

The unit comes with and excellent owners guide.  I highly recommend reading the manual fully before installation to decide your course of action.  Depending upon your setup configuration, it can get a bit tricky.  Specifically, the automatic speaker calibration can be a challenge.  Make sure ALL of your speakers have a clear "line of sight" to the supplied microphone puck and that your room is free of ambient noise.

With the plentiful inputs, you should have no difficulty connecting all of your equipment. 

Performance is excellent!  Very clear amp with little to no distortion,...even at high decibel levels.

As receivers go, the attractive silver housing and solid aluminum front panel lends itself well to modern or contemporary design.  We found it too beautiful to hide in a cabinet.  :-)
