How are ONKYO receivers? I've read good things but this portion of electronics is beyond my knowledge. I would love some input on these or something similar if it is better.
Receivers are much more complicated these days and in general they're not as well built as they used to be. My brother is still using an old Fisher stereo in his garage that I bought new 30 years ago. Full of dust and who knows what else but he uses it all the time.JeremyR said:Which I will add is quite irritating considering the prior two that I owned that are 10 and 18 years old (Kenwood and Pioneer) that are allegedly inferior that I have given to other people are still kicking flawlessly.

And remember, Onkyo has like 30%-35% of the receiver market so they will have more freported ailiers than the others. I think the best piece of equipment I've had was an Integre 9.8 pre-pro (right up there with a Pioneer Elite 59txi and a little H/K 520). Bought it for a song and quickly sold it for a nice profit but maybe I should have just kept it. Come to think about it, it got a little warm too. But not that bad.
