Summary:
I have a TX-SV515PROII(1994 model) that I've used the last seven years. The sound is incredible...so I figured I'd get the Integra and upgrade...HA!!!!!! whatta joke...Onkyo has gone, apparently, down the tubes...this receiver sounds like crap....no bass, very harsh(muddy)...not the Onkyo sound I know...I tell ya, if all home theatre receivers sound like this, I'm sticking with my '94 Onkyo(rated at 80 watts..and much louder than the Integra at 105)....even if it is only Pro Logic...A salesman at Tweeter told me Onkyo quit making good receivers after '95....he's right...I would recommend you find an Onkyo receiver from this time period(ebay) if you want REAL sound for your music...otherwise, you'll be ripped off

Strengths:
looks good....nice remote....about it

Weaknesses:
no bass...very harsh sounding....muddy and not very detailed...for a supposedly top notch 105 watt receiver, this thing fails miserably...horrible sound

Summary:


THX-SOUND, THX-SOUND, THX-SOUND, THX-SOUND, need I say more!
This reciever powers my cerwin vega speakers effortly, providing
enough juice to shake the house. If your looking for room
rattling
movie theater sound, look no further. My kids get a kick out of
how realistic the Dinosours sound whenever we fire up Jurastic
Park the movie on DVD, especialy the T-Rex! I would never buy a
reciever without the THX certification after hearing this bad boy.
This reciever has worked and performed flawlessly for me.
I have
to give it "Two Thumbs Up" for performance, and value.

Strengths:
Integra products warranty, 3-years bumper to bumper

Weaknesses:
