Onkyo's midrange receiver one of the best for the money

 

The Onkyo TX-NR636 offers a compelling mix of features and performance with "future proofing" that's unparalleled for the money.

The Onkyo TX-NR636 has a laundry list of features including Dolby Atmos support and High-Resolution Audio streaming; HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 means the receiver is potentially more future-proof than its competitors; very good sound quality; a phono input...

On-screen display is minimal and difficult to read; imposing external design.

Onkyo TX-NR636 review

 

Large-scale sound ; Will go loud ; Precise with sound placement ; Well specified

Bass could be punchier and tighter ; Lacks solidity ; Dynamically soft

An impressively specified receiver, but its sound performance leaves us wanting

Outstanding connectivity to Interwebs and automated home

 

I have owned this Onkyo for a month and it is perfect for highly automated homes. It has features I didn't expect:

Lots of HDMI switching, Sirius account login, DLNA, home automation

Android app doesn't work outside local LAN
