    Onkyo TX-DS797 vs Denon 3801/3802

    Phil, I don't know for sure but it may be the extra channel. My experience with both the 727 and 797 is that they both get warm but not hot. The 7*7 series all followed same design concept as far as heat treatment and the 800 maybe designed differently. I don't know if they deleted the fan...

    Onkyo TX-DS797 vs Denon 3801/3802

    Dave, I have the 797 for over 3 month now and doesn't have any problems of any kind, dropouts or otherwise. I actually had both the 797 and the 800, side by side, at home at the same time for about two weeks. I prefer the 797's sound and separation. The main reason I kept the 797 though is...

    Which Onkyo? TX DS 797 or TX SR 800?

    I know it took me a little longer but here is my opinion on these two excellent receivers. I had the two receivers at home for about 2 weeks. I ran both of them with the same setup using a variety of music, some movies and the FM/AM radio too. After swapping the two receivers back and forth...

    Onkyo 797 Front Speakers

    Thanks a lot Phil. :) I always felt that Klipsch speakers do sound very good. How about PolK Audio R30's or R50's for the front. I read in some reviews that they provide excellent highs and mid-range detailing. I heard a demonestration of the R30's at CC and they did sound good but wasn't sure...

    Onkyo 797 Front Speakers

    I own an excellent Onkyo TX-DS 797 (a 6.1, 6*100W) which I enjoy very much, no clicking or dropouts so far.. I am looking to get new front L/R speakers for this receiver. I'd like speakers that provide excellent highs and midrange detailing and that doesn't require a lot of power to play...

    Question on back speakers for 6.1/7.1

    Thank you very much Steve. In series seems to be how I should do it. Is parallel a bad idea that will definitely cause damage to the amp/receiver? Or does it work with some receivers but not others. I have an Onkyo 797, a 6.1 receiver. Does anyone have experience connecting two surround back...

    Question on back speakers for 6.1/7.1

    If I connect the two surround back speakers to the speaker L/R output in the back of the surround back amp in a 6.1 receiver/setup would this be parallel or in series? Does it damage the receiver? I understand from the replys above that connecting in series is the safer way, Can anyone explain...

    Which Onkyo? TX DS 797 or TX SR 800?

    Tyler, thanks for the valuable input! I decided to get the TX-SR800 and hook it and compare it with the 797 before I return it. So I picked up one from CC for $849 plus tax which is a great price for this unit. They matched an add from the Internet. So the actual difference came up to about...

    Which Onkyo? TX DS 797 or TX SR 800?

    Any help from current users or future buyers is appreciated. The TX 800's started to show up at CC. Price is set at $999 regular but there is a sale now for $949. Does anyone know what's the price online?

    Which Onkyo? TX DS 797 or TX SR 800?

    They are finally out! The new Onkyo 800 which is supposed to replace the excellent 797. I have a 2-week old 797 and it doesn't drop any codes or click through the speakers!. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I can replace it with the new TX SR800 since I am still under 30 days. The difference...
