Onkyo HT-S5500 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver/Speaker Package Preview

The HT-S3500 is a true budget offering that provides a 5.1 channel receiver with HDMI 1.4a and 3D and throws in some speakers. The larger HT-S5500 may cost more ($649 vs $399) but you get more.

It's pretty clear that these two HTiB packages target different consumers. The HT-S3500 is a true budget offering that is providing a 5.1 channel receiver with HDMI 1.4a and 3D and throwing in some speakers. The larger HT-S5500 may cost more ($649 vs...

ONKYO HT-S5500

we used an aftermarket speaker wire right out of the box so we cannot attest to the stuff it comes with, but it really does sound amazing. Highly recomended

Wow, just wow.... sound is amazing. only use it on about 12-16 and rattles the house. very well made. a whole lot bigger than we thought it was going to be when we bought it. Truly is an amazing sounding system, cannot say this enough

Sometimes with using the hdmi throughputs, gibberish appears on the screen. For just a second or two. not sure why

Poor Reliability, Poor Performance

Low Cost

There is an issue with Dolby PL II x circuitry. The PL II x mode upconverts sources which have less than 7.1 channels to 7.1 channels. There is a loud popping noise when this circuit changes upconversion modes. Any time I change a TV channel and this...

Awsome system

I have purchased a bunch of sound sound systems through the years, some for much more than this, and this is by far the best HTIB I have owned. Especially since it is $100 cheaper than when I bought it.

The System was very easy to setup and the Audyssey Room Correction was easy to go through and get the best sound out of the system. If you are looking for a great surround sound experience on a budget this is the system for you

the speakers are a little larger than i expected. especially the front center speakers

Great product. Best deal.

Sound quality is great. Nice bass. Can't get a better deal at that price. This is my first time buying Onkyo. Always heard it was a good brand and so far I am very satisfied.

2 years strong

Just thought I would write a review after 2 years using the Onkyo 5500 system. I was leery of the cheap cost when I bought it because there are many systems double the cost for the same features. I must say that the Onkyo system has stood the test of...
