Onyko TX-NR809


I have a B&K AVR307 that is not working, so I happened to be at the local electronics place and they had a floor model Onyko TX-NR809 on sale for $449.

I really asn't even looking for an AVR but for the price I grabbed it and I have 30 days to return it.

Has all the power my B&K has and since i'm not an expert in this stuff I was wondering if it was a good deal and if I should stick with it or keep looking for something better.

"Has all the power my B&K has"

The Onkyo TX-SR805 of a few years ago did but this model falls short on power. What it lost in true power it gained in modern features, which is pretty common this day and time.

With that said, $449.00 for a good performing upper mid level receiver is a great price. It won't have the "warmth" of the B&K but with Audyssey onboard room correction, you can achieve a very satisfying sound quality for HT and music.
