A good, all around performer

 

I used this receiver for music listening; including vinyl records, CD\'s, Cassettes, and FM stereo broadcast. The remote is quick and responsive, once you get used to locating the volume control. You will need a subwoofer to get the best base sound....

Unexpected Gem of a Receiver! Outstanding Value.

 

OK. If you're reading this review, my advice is to BUY this receiver! I was looking at comparable products from the "big names" and they are all at least 50% to 100% more money. When I got this unit (fast delivery by UPS incidentally), I was amazed at...

Great sound quality!

 

My old receiver recently died a very untimely death. RIP. One of the things I really wanted in a new receiver was for it to easily integrate with my iPod. I did a lot of research before deciding on this Onkyo. Now there will be others who can razzle...

One of a kind receiver.

 

This is a 2 channel receiver with Network Streaming. I used it to set up a distributed music system for a Beauty Salon and it works great! It's the only receiver of its kind, that I'm aware of. I didn't need video control of any kind and for this...

TX-8050 is a GREAT value for under$300.00

 

TX-8050 is a great sounding receiver with an added bonus of PURE AUDIO. Pure audio is great for TV. it adds added base to what is generally a very thin sound. Several reviewer mentioned sound at half power was very lound as well as full sound based on...

Just what I needed

Onkyo TX 8050 - Nice & Network-Ready

 

I like listening to the local radio stations broadcast of my favorite football team while watching the TV. Onkyo is world renown for their Tuners. They made the best tuners in the world in the 80\'s. Some say Mcintosh tuners were better. This may be...

The amp could be better

 

I bought this because it connects to the internet. This replaced Kenwood's KRV9080 (1997 0r 1998 model). The sound quality of the Kenwood is much better than this Onkyo. I am using the same speakers, which are PSB Stratus Bronze. The sound has a...

classic rock

 

I previously had a Nikko receiver which was 34 years old, and it was on its last legs. I did alot of research about this receiver and the reviews were great. I finally decided to purchase this unit along with the Onkyo CD player. Both are awesome, and...

Affordable quality stereo receiver

 

This is a good basic receiver. When you buy the link so that you can run it off your router, then you have a really versatile unit. It comes pre-loaded with links to Pandora, Sirius, Slacker and other internet providers. The display is simple and...
