Onkyo Comes to Audiogurus!

Onkyo Comes to Audiogurus!

Audiogurus is proud to bring on board the Onkyo brand of products to their ecommerce store. Onkyo’s latest receiver line represents some of the best values in today’s power-hungry A/V receiver market. Last year Onkyo won Audioholics' 2007 Product of the Year award for the TX-SR805 which was the only receiver in the $1k price range that offered all of the latest in HD audio video and processing. The TX-SR805 took home the win with its Audyssey MultEQ XT, THX Ultra2 certification and a meaty 50lb amp section capable of bringing virtually any home theater to reference levels with ease.

As with all of their products, Audiogurus only recommends and sells brands it believes in and feels that its readers will benefit from having in their AV arsenal. They recognize that consumers have varied tastes and priorities, so our product selection walks a delicate line between having enough variety and not becoming too diverse as to sell products they don't consider to be a good fit for their clients. Onkyo is a solid partner to add to the Audiogurus store.

The sub-$1000 price category of receivers is the hot spot for value and performance and Onkyo fits in comfortably with the likes of Yamaha, Denon and Marantz.  Onkyo really made it back into the game with their x06-series as they seemed to really trail over the past several years as other manufacturers deployed HDMI and other advanced technologies.

This last year, Onkyo went from technology follower to market leader when they unveiled the new 705/805/875 models and our testing confirmed that these receivers are the real deal. It is only now that other brands are releasing models with similar feature sets at the respective price points of these receivers. In a sense, Onkyo is at least partially responsible (in our opinion) for the fact that the HDMI feature trickle-down effect happened so rapidly in today's AV receivers.

In the end, consumers win with a selection of great products from their favorite brands and we are happy to now offer yet another solid manufacturer offering from the Audioholics Store. Stay tuned as we add more Onkyo products to our store line-up.
