High End 7.1 Home Theater Receiver

Recommended Posts

I have too much audio gear, this one has to go.  This was going to power my home theater, but it's too nice to let my kids mess it up.

 

This was ONKYO's top of the line receiver. MSRP was $2,099.  It's a beast at 54 lbs and a (TRUE) 140 watts x 7 channels.

This is the less common silver version. VGC, everything works, very powerful, sounds amazing. Includes original manual and remote. $350, picked up in NE Ohio. 

 

Great sound for stereo and theater.

It's loaded with high end features:
• True 140 watts x 7 into 8 ohms
• 4 HDMI in/ 2 HDMI out
• 3 zones
• Speakers can be bi-amped without an external amp.
• Network connection

Wish I didn't already love my pioneer in the theater section. And this is probably too beastly to put in my living room and like you say, filthy kid(s) will ruin errthang

Tpoppa is one stand up guy, don't be afraid to deal with him.

It has 2 HDMI outs, so it will run 2 HDTVs with the same source.

 

It will run 3 audio zones, with up to 3 different sources.

 

I listen to music more than home theater.  This has really good musical performance.  It's in the same league as my Carver and B&K components.  It has plenty of current to drive any speakers you throw at it.

 

You can even reassign channels to bi-amp speakers, if you have speakers that are capable.

This is a monster deal! Love Onkyo gear. This is tempting as I need to replace my living room Onkyo that gave up the ghost after 10 years this past New Year's.

I am also in N Ridgeville.  Sounds like it's meant to be.
