Review 1 of 156

Price Paid:  $475.00 from Circuit City

Summary:
Excellent unit with ample power and great connectability. It's a very clean looking receiver and sturdy construction, and heavy. Never had any issues whatsoever. I really have come to enjoy the clean powerful sound, and I do use a SUB so no complains about bass issues.

Strengths:
Ease of use, very sturdy, clean powerful sound and overall a great home theater system.

Weaknesses:
Bulky remote, other than that none.

Review 2 of 156

Price Paid:  $420.00 from AUDIO WAREHOUSE EXP.

Summary:
I can't beleave I have not posted a review for mine. I bought mine in 2001, & I USE it 7-days a week!! It is cranked at least several hours 1 day a week {my day off}. It was great for my smaller former living room, but I moved & now have a 680 sq. ft. den W/vaulted ceilings. This had plenty of power before. One thing I have noticed is that the sound does not penatrate the walls like my Sansui. I ran both W/same speakers, wires, CD, same song, & adjusted volume with spl. meter. The Onkyo was audible 10' from the porch. The Sansui reached to the side walk. This was about 14' more? Maybe not scientific enough, I don't know. I still love it.

Strengths:
This is so simple to use. Set up, & remote are great. I USE mine, & I do stress it, it has held up great.

Weaknesses:
I wish it had pre-outs so I could add a monster amp! Bass adjustment is at 100mz? Who came up with this idea. My SANSUI {YES I Still Have My Baby, G7500} adjust at 50mz. 100mz makes little differance.

Similar Products Used:
Sansui, pioneer{old pro-logic crap}, My brother-in law's Onkyo, thats why I bought mine.

Review 3 of 156

Price Paid:  $225.00 from www.onecall.com

Summary:
This receiver is just plain solid! All the reviews I read prior to my purchase said the same basic thing. The unit is one of the best built, for the money. It has a terrific array of features. The power is clean, crisp and plentyful. Basicly, the only bad thing I could find was that most people didn't like the remote. Heck! I love the remote. I am oh so glad that I found this unit and I highly recommend it to anyone on a budget who is looking for a nice audio/video receiver.

Strengths:
Powerful at 100Wx5 Channels DTS and Dolby Digital Solid construction Nice Front Face Interface

Weaknesses:
Could use a few more inputs.

Review 4 of 156

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Expert

Summary:
The info which stand about it is wrong.It has 5x100watt in 6ohm, not 90w.THATS TRUE!! It has a open sound but it doesn`t play loud enough.The bass is tight, maybe a little warm sometimes, but good overall.The midrange is thin and the upper frequence could be harder, not so warm and packed if you know whar I mean. I WILL HAVE TO BUY A NAD C370.....

Strengths:
THE BASS! PRICE! QUALITY! Remote control

Weaknesses:
it doesn`t go loud enough!! inputs( only subwoofer pre-out) NOT good enough for my cerwin vega v12f`s

Review 5 of 156

Price Paid:  $370.00 from Circuit City

Summary:
First time I heard about this receaver was in a show room, I have to confess that I got very impressed far the best in store, but I really wasn''t intending to pay US$480 on it! I purchased it just before it run out of production and paid the fair US$370

Strengths:
In order to give a good idea of the strengts let`s separete in topics: 1-Genaral construction: From this point of view I think it''s an Tank, really heavy duty construction, really big heat sink , aluminium front and the buttons remember my Hp calculator ready for punchs! 2-Power: Plenty of power, if you want to compare specifications reading manuals is better to choose real competitors, ask good dealer that he''ll give you some directions. 3-Sound Quality: Accurate and crispy really pleasant, to tell the truth I''ve never heard any better! 4-Connections: Out connection do they work. 5-Front panel: lean and precise 6-Remote: Fantastic, I don''t even believe that it cames for free!

Weaknesses:
1-For the price the competitors offer a screen menu. 2-Too much sensitive to tension variations in the electical line, I''ve to add a line filter to avoid humming.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
