    Great Starter Unit

    My Onkyo receiver went out this summer (2022). I was waiting for Black Friday to replace. The Onkyo WAS a higher end unit, so the comparison isn't as fair. Although I did purchase it on Black Friday in 2015 (so it's 7 years older). The other unit was so far advanced compared to this new unit, that I ended up getting the Onkyo fixed and returned this. I suppose when I'm ready to replace again, I'll have to bite the bullet and spend closer to $1K to get an equivalent to what I have.

    My 2011 Marantz amplifier did not support the 4K required by my recently acquired 75" TV. This amp did the trick. I wanted a shorter in height amp and one that supported the 5 speakers I already had in place. I feel I lucked out with this purchase.

    It does it's job, biggest perk for me was it's size so I can fit it into my TV Console. Doesn't sound as good as my secondhand Pioneer SC-81 but for the price I didn't expect it to.
