Onkyo 2012 Budget Receiver Line Preview [0.13] by tom,February 22, 2012 22:20

There is very little that we find more interesting than new budget receiver offerings. Onkyo has made a name for themselves over the last few years for offering the highest feature to dollar ratio. So when they announce that they are updating their budget offerings, we can't help but perk up. While Onkyo has placed their WRAT amplifier typology throughout this entry-level line and have tried to incorporate as many streaming and convenience features as they can at all price points, they don't have any room correction for any offering under $500. While we think users of all but the bare bones TX-SR313 will appreciate Silicon Image's InstaPrevue feature, mostly would be more impressed with a room correction system than a better amplifier typology. We'll have to see how the public receives the new Onkyo 2012 line to know for sure.

AV Rant #181: Dog Pillow [0.13] by tom,May 24, 2010 04:35

This week on AV Rant, Tom loses it. Also on tap this week, Onkyo partners with Walmart, the LifeLock dude needs to change his keys, Steven gets a better answer, and moths might just make your next display much better. Hate HDMI? Hello MHL (which, Tom discovered after the podcast, is not the same thing as Mobile HD). Netflix streams HD to PCs. Pandora - a study. We are REALLY sorry and video didn't work this week as you would have seen Tom cry. Yes, cry.

AV Rant #81: Wall-E Damage [0.13] by clint,July 06, 2008 21:27

Another threesome - this time with J and Dina. Jaime's Flaming Onkyo update. Paul wants to know if he should be interested in tube amps or not. Do Tom and J have Audiophilenervousa? Tom's theory of esoteric speaker design. J and Dina went to see Wall-E this weekend and had tons of stuff to share. J is old. Getting free tickets at the theater. Tom's got a new series of editorials coming out soon. Something to look forward to or avoid depending on what you think of Tom. DRM in the future - government controlled? Tom will be on vacation next week so it will probably be Clint and Dina. Thanks for listening and don't forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley.

This week on AV Rant: Ted is mad about a few things. Tom responds. Under $300 Blu-ray players are in stores. J found them. Read the comments below the post for some FANTASTIC information from Rob and others. What is the future for consumer electronics? Jaime gives us the last flaming Onkyo 805 update. Could Tom do a budget display shootout? Maybe… How to properly use your SPL meter. A discussion of Wal-Mart sponsored piracy. iTunes is a black hole of information. Listen in for all this and more.

Fourth in Onkyo's refresh to its line up of receivers is the new TX-NR808 networked model, updating the TX-NR807. The TX-NR808 is a 7.2 channel receiver that features a THX Certified Select 2 Plus amplifier section capable of making 135 watts at 8 ohms over 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Although some functionality from the upper models has been removed, the TX-NR808 still represents a solid mid-range receiver packed with features.

Onkyo CS-V645 DVD/CD Mini System First Look [0.13] by tom,November 09, 2010 07:10

Consisting of a combination of iPod dock, DVD player, and 40 watt per channel receiver, the Onkyo CS-V645 looks to be a standalone solution for space and budget challenged customers. What we like best about the CS-V645 is the price. It will be available in early December with a suggested retail price of $399 just in time for the holiday season. This looks to be very nice starter system for students or people with little space. We could never get behind a system (two channel or no) without a subwoofer output especially one that was designed with video in mind. At less that $400, the CS-V645 has everything you need for a relatively compact system that can later be integrated into a more serious home theater. With 1080p upscaling, iPod integration, and ability to access USB content, the Onkyo CS-V645 should be everything your youngster needs to access their music and video.

Onkyo HT-S5500 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package Preview [0.13] by tom,March 11, 2012 21:15

One thing we've always liked about Onkyo's HTiB offerings is their perchance to include full receivers. No funny proprietary connections, no funky speaker wires that can't be changed or lengthened, just a simple receiver connected to inexpensive speakers that a user can, later on down the line, swap out for something better. This is the perfect solution for the newbie and we often recommend Onkyo HTiBs to our friends that won't listen to reason. Onkyo has some very high end HTiBs and some that are very budget. The new HT-S5500 is a middle of the pack offering (as far as price) with a lot of very attractive features.
