Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver (Redux) (1 Viewer)

[Boaty McBoatface]

My Ideal Atmos Home Theater would one that was not overly ornate with a good size to let my family and friends have a good weekend evening at the movies. My gear would be top notch Onkyo Receiver, (A brand I've been facinated with since I was 13 years old messing around with them in the electronics department of hudsons), going over kill with mono amps on each channel, and maybe Paradigm or Klipsch speakers. My gear would have to be visible off to the left side of the room almost near the front cause I like looking at my equipment. My lobby would be overly elaborate with a little bit of a 50's Diner theme that doubled as a sanctuary for Hollywood movie props.

 

[Dave Moritz]

I like your choices of Paradigm and Klipsch speakers but you should also check out Bowers & Wilkins speakers as well. And along with the Onkyo check out the Marantz as well. My current two on my short list so far are the Onkyo and Marantz.


Sounds like you have some good ideas for your home theater.

Onkyo has begun selling some apparently high quality Atmos enabled gear. I've used their equipment many times in the past and was always impressed, so I would build everything around their core system. I currently run an aging system based around a Pioneer Elite 31 receiver and Mirage speakers.

 

[ChromeJob]

I would definitely run more speaker wire and start listening to movies more... Active listening!

 

[KyleA]

This would be exactly the upgrade we need in our theater room... what's there now is a disservice!

 

[Mark Lawless]

For my dream system I would have and trying to keep it somewhat reasonable in price. I would want to use the TX-NR1030 to drive some of the Tekton Pendragon speakers for the stereo pair. Painted in high gloss metallic gray. Accompanied by 2 Pendragon theater subs, along with their center channel. For the surrounds I would go for Definitive Tech UIW RLS III wall reference line speakers. They also make some good ceiling speakers that I think would also be a good fit. For the screen I would want the Elite Screens skt 120UH-E10 UHD screen, matched with the new Sony UHD projector VPL-VW600ES. And not to neglect the room acoustics I would use Auralex ProPanels acoustic absorption Panels. I think this would make for an amazing experience.

My ideal Atmos home theater setup would be installed by Tom Holman while I eat pizza off a TV tray. Then Ben Burtt comes in to hand me my remote and ask me if I need a beverage, all while the ghost of Ray Dolby swirls around the room, setting ethereal base traps.

 

[Chad R]

Ideally, I wish I had a basement I could set up into a nice home theater. But I live in Florida, where there are no basements, so I'll make something work.

After long 12 years, I started Upgrading my home theater set-up. From Pioneer's slimmest dvd player to Xtreamer NMT player, 21" CRT TV to a Panasonic projector, B&W DM 303 bookshelf speakers to B&W 600 series 3 Floorstanding speakers, 2 seater sofa to 7 professional theaters seats, 5.1 set up to 11.2 and lastly, from DENON AVR 1802 to ONKYO TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver.



NOW THAT'S AN UPGRADE THAT DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT.

 

[Jason Hennigan]

My ideal HT setup would include one of these new Onkyo TX-NR-1030 9.2 channel receivers, some new speakers (I've been wanting to get a look at the newer PSB in-wall models for overhead speakers), a new Oppo Blu-Ray player (probably all-region) and a curved Samsung 4k TV.


Winning the Onkyo would make all the other upgrades much easier to do.

Dolby Atmos is going to change the game for home theatre and Onkyo is always known for braving the new frontier with incredible products. The TX-NR1030 receiver will be a monster and will help me truly redo my home theatre with the dolby atmos setup (with ceiling speakers). The base of a great system is the heart and the receiver will beat the dolby atmos drum for a long time.

 

[JKR1963]

I would love to set up a 7.2.4 Atmos system and this Onkyo TX-NR1030 would be a great way to do it. I rarely win anything and this Onkyo would be very nice to win.........I can just put it where my TX-NR3009 used to reside (I hope!).

 

[RobertSiegel]

I would love to set up an Atmos system. I watch a film or two every night, mostly on blu-ray, and now with Atmos encoded blu-rays, it would be fantastic to add ceiling speakers!

 

[sevj]

My ideal set up would be a Sonus Faber setup, but being more price realistic I would be happy with a simple Deffinitive Technology, or Martin Logan set up, some nice on walls. It would be ideal enough for me!
I don't have any sort of hook up just yet, but plan to once I move out of my parents place and this receiver would be a great start.
Thanks for the sweet giveaway!

 

[JeremyR]

Hmm.. my ideal would start with this receiver to replace my beloved Onkyo TX-SR805. I would probably keep the Paradigm bookshelf speakers I have in a 7.1 surround setup, but I think I'd get some new Paradigm Monitor 9 or Monitor 11 series speakers to use as my mains and a Monitor Center 3.

 

[erkess66]

My ideal sytem or (dream system) would be besides the Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 receiver, I would use the Definitive Technology BP -8060ST 5.1 speaker system, a set of Definitive Technology BP -8060ST Bipolar Tower, 2 Velodyne Wi-Q 12" subs, an OPPO BDP-103D blue ray player, a Sony VPL-VW350ES projector and finally the Stewart StudioTek 130 film screen

 

[slim4511]

My ideal Atmos set up would be Kef Q series fronts and satellites, Velodyne sub, B&W heights, Oppo BD player,

and Samsung JS8500 TV. All of these would only be only be secondary to receiving an outstanding receiver like the Onkyo TX-NR 1030. I have been using an Onkyo 705 for the last eight years and it has served me well but am in need of an upgrade such as this.

 

[Chuck Anstey]

I would finally have a use for all of the speakers I have collected over the years. The ideal setup would be smaller quality speakers arranged inconspicuously with 2 SVS subwoofers to fill in the low end.

 

[HybridHB]

The second floor of my house is one big room thats empty. The plan is to turn it into a theater room and this receiver would be the perfect starting point! Ive been dreaming about this project since moving into this house. Plus my onkyo 805 is starting to act up but it has done its time.

 

[Ron Courteau]

I would love the Onkyo w/ the Dolby Atmos. My wife hasn't heard an awesome system! I was able to convince her to get an HDMI compatible Receiver! But it isn't right for my ESS, & Vanderstein speakers! I so want to be able to hear & feel the music again! Thanks, this'll b my second Onkyo receiver!
