Why save the best stuff for home theater? Every model in Onkyo's receiver line, starting with the TX-8511, utilizes high-current, low-impedance amplifier design for superior performance. Humbly priced, but made for music fans who appreciate great sound, this is no ordinary stereo receiver. A look inside reveals Onkyo's attention to detail in every aspect of construction. The transformer: oversized and shielded for maximum power capacity and stability, and minimum hum. The filter capacitor is oversized for clean sound during your music's most demanding dynamic peaks. The cast aluminum heat sink is oversized for efficient heat dissipation, and thus longer life from your receiver. Discrete outputs are designed to run cooler, and to keep your music cleaner, under high-volume, low-impedance conditions. Anti-resonant chassis and aluminum front panel are highly rigid to fight distortion-causing resonance. So how does it sound? In a word: impressive.

Hard To Find Relic Of A Bygone Era

Author's Rating: Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Graphic EQ jacks, nice asthetics and numerous features.

Cons: No banana clip jacks and THD could be down around .05%.

I've owned this model for over three years now and have been pleased with it all along. Very well constructed and as has been said, it has massive internals components. I've had units in the past with lower THD (this one's pegged as .08%), but I've never noticed any sound anomalies with it. Stereo separation is adequate but not awesome. FM and AM tuner performance is quite good in my area. Hook up a quality graphic equalizer through the Video Monitor 2 jack and this makes you remember why you elected to forego the new surround sound receivers. Tight bass through my old Realistic Mach 2 15" woofers and good treble. While there have been nicer units in the past, for the price Onkyo is asking for this unit it's a great bargain. I liked it enough to buy a second TX-8511 for my bedroom.
