Its a push. Go with the one substantially cheaper. Dont consider any surround receiver from another manufacturer.

I currently use a Denon AVR 4311CI. It manages 140 W at 8 Ohms or 170 at 6 Ohms on 9 or 11 channels. The sound results precise and musical, the volume level can rise very high without loss of clarity and precision.

The Onkyo TX-NR626 is a great amp for all around use and is half price. Just set up a friend with this amp and they love it. I have the Onkyo TX-NR828 but is more money. I am sure the NR626 will do everything you need. You will not be disappointed.

I have an Onkyo tuner and the yamaha cd player. Love them both. I tend to gravitate towards both these brands when buying stereo components through the years.

Hey Balaji did you get an answer I'm shopping the same recievers and I'm stuck between the two I hear the onkyo runs super hot maybe the 707 is more comparable, anyway I'm leaning towards the denon 1910 Jeff Helmlinger

Thanks for the response. This looks like a much better value than the tx-sr805. I think that I found my new receiver.

Does the Audyssey Dynamic Volume work for keeping commercials from overpowering shows? I am in the same boat as you i'm looking to purchase an av receiver and have it narrowed down to three any help would be great. I use the receiver for music tv and blue ray. I'm trying to decide between the Onkyo 507 the pioneer vsx-819 and the denon avr-589. I see that people seem to prefer the onkyo's whats the deal with that?

I have a Denon AVR-1912. Though it may seem expensive, it is very clean on sound quality and it is very powerful, and jam packed with useful features. I also use it with the Klipsch HD 500 and a pair of old KG 1's by Klipsch (Remember those?) and they sound wonderful. I have also an old 1980's amplifier by Denon that I use on a daily basis , and it still works wonderfully. I have had the AVR-1912 for a while now, and I don't see myself changing the receiver soon. I love Denon products, and they deserve consideration. The AVR-1912 isn't the only option, as other receivers by that company are cheaper, and sound well, but the 1912 is known by many sites as a very good receiver. Short term- Expensive Very Great sounding Long Term- Great Deal (Hopefully) Hope this helps!

It would appear that this model is from the 2012 product line as the earliest review I have found for it was written in February, 2012, posted at wwwaudioholics.com. I have seen no product updates from Onkyo, so I am assuming this is the latest model. I replaced an earlier Onkyo model with this one several months ago and I am very happy with the results. I hope this info helps.

I've read great reviews about Onkyo as a brand for receivers. Although i have a samsung 46" that i'm simply loving right now. the Samsung HT-BD1250 sucked so bad that i'm reluctant to trust Samsung for audio gear. It sure looks good though the new system.The 5300 Onkyo looks more upgrade friendly. But the SR608 is overkill for me so i'm not even going to bother drooling over it.

Thanks for the response. I have a ONKYO SR505 and am connected like you are. With this A/V unit I must use the audio optical cable if I want surround audio to the speakers. I can use the HDTV speakers to get HDMI quality sound which defeats the purpose of having a surround system.

Hey Dennis,Did you tinker with the speaker setting on the BD player? Does it still only sound like 2.0 stereo?let me know, Im going over to my nephews house tomorrow, he has the same Onkyo SR550, and I will check his settings for you.Tom

Help to choose between Onkyo TX-SR608 receiver and Pioneer VSX-1020-K. They both have their pros and cons, and prices are the same.

I have actually listened to both and I'd have to say the the denons I bit more powerfull with the amp turned on. The clarity is great and good quality product. At under 200 it's a steal.

A/V Guru: I was wondering if you could elaborate on the core differences between the Onkyo HT-S3300 and the Denon DHT-391XP. I currently only have an Xbox 360 and a HD cable box, and am looking for a system that can handle those two components as well as (which is the actual reason for getting the system) my music (via computer and Ipod). As this is the main reason for investing in a system, I would prefer to have a quality base setup. Looks like the Onkyo has a few more features on the receiver, and I was wondering if you could let me know why those are there (pretty naive on this whole subject, sorry). I see that the Onkyo has the "green, blue, and red" input cords like those that come from the Xbox, while the Denon does not. And the sony receivers systems in this price range seem to be much sleeker (but input wise more similar to the denon). So does it sound like I actually need all of the extra inputs that the Onkyo offers? And with all this in mind do you have recommendation

Unfortunately the hdmi issues still plague Onkyo and as a result I cannot recommend this processor, it is,also quite outdated at this stage , look at the Marantz AV8801 or the Yamaha CX-A5000 which are both superior units with excellent reliability and warranty.

I too am considering these two recievers and i have for quite a while. Im leaning towards the Pioneer for the simple fact it comes with the ipod cable. Although i think the onkyo has a 2 yr warranty and pioneer doesnt.
