I've had this receiver nearly 20 years and would not trade it for the world. I've used this receiver to DJ a wedding and at 100 PER channel X 5 plus my 100 watt powered sub. My God this thing just kicks. I have some rather big yamaha towers and 2 Onkyo rear channels along with 100 watt powered sub and a sweet Klipsch center. The Receiver has never missed a beat . I definitely have gotten my money's worth and then some. Time to rock out! |

None that I've encountered in five years. Okay, I had to put in a postive note for this receiver. Though I do not own the AX710, I own it's little brother, the AX610. I believe that all that is different is the remote control. One is universal, one is not. I must say I have not one bad thing to say about this receiver. It's been reliable, powerful, and sounds as good as it ever did. I bought this receiver based on my previous experience with Panasonic/Technics products. I purchased this to replace my first surround receiver, the Technics SA-GX550 that I had purchased four years. (I dropped on its face, so needless to say it was toast). Everything about the 610 (710) was better! The power output is powerful, the bass is phenominal (gotta love that loudness switch, and my receiver has none of that noise the other reviewers were talking about in Dolby Surround mode. And yes, I admit the fact this receiver doesn't have digital decoder is annoying, but I solved that problem by buying a DVD player with decorders built in. After six years of moderate use, this baby keeps on churning out good sounds whether it be in 2 channel or multi channel. I'm not one for the extra sound field settings, but they work well. Yes, the receiver does run warm, but after owning two other Technics receivers, I just assumed that they do run warm. It never is too hot to touch, and the fan kicks on at higher volumes. The unit has never overloaded, even when I was using it at a small party. The remote control is a joke however. It is nice laid out, but is a pain to use. I'd just like to try to find a good workhorse like this TODAY for this price. I hope it never dies. Similar Products Used: Technics SA-GX550, Technics SA-EX140 (sucks), and the Technics SA-190. |

Strength:
plenty of power, good bass, help function
Weakness:
clarity poor in pro-logic mode, remote not the best Before I bought this model I checked out the reviews in Consumer Reports. It was ranked very high. Talk about your bogus reports! There is a lot to be improved on here. First of all it was outdated before I even took it out of the box.(no DD or DTS) The 6 channel discreet imput was worthless. If your going to buy a processor for your DVD you might as well have one that is allready incorporated in your receiver. IN pro-logic mode the sound clarity was just not what I was expecting, even after adjustments and other speakers. The remote was dissapointing as far as turning off an on other units and the receiver itself. FM reception was bad even though reviews said it was the top of the line. Overall I would like the opportunity to have not puchased this receiver. It was not worth my money or my time. Similar Products Used: first pro-logic receiver |
