    I was always a pioneer guy my whole life. After my pioneer of 13 years finally died I got a good deal on an onkyo because everyone was raving about them. I went through 3 different onkyos in 3 years. They sounded amazing but the reliability was total crap. This song has been AMAZING! The sound is just as good and the onkyo but it’s buILT SOLID! Defiantly a great buy. Don’t hesitate!

    This is my first av reciever with the exception of some old audio receivers but this is definitely an upgrade. Supports the 7 speaker hook up or the 5 speaker 2 height speaker hook up, I’m currently running atmos on it and it is impressive, it’s a good power sized speaker for sure although there is definitely room for more power to get louder speakers, overall I am happy with this,

    Badly mis-represented. Open Box - described as "like new" it was missing both the calibration mic. and the remote. The box that it came in was beat to pieces and had no fewer than three prior mailing stickers on it. Indicating it had been sent out and refused multiple times. There was even a note on the box stating "missing remote". I will never again purchase an open box item from Best Buy.
