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.

Very Pleased with this Receiver

Pros: Powerful, no audible distortion. Excellent fidelity. Ease of use. Dynamic range. Phono input. "Loudness" control.

Cons: No "Sonic Hologram" like my old Carver. No Midrange control.

The Onkyo replaces a beloved, but over the hill, Carver HR-772 that I bought in 1988. The TX-8511, purchased 11/'05, has superb fidelity and dynamic range, partly due to it's massive power supply and excellent construction. I'm a musician (guitarist) and have a background in electronics so I'm very, very "picky" about specs and actual performance. It's been mated to a pair of new Infinity speakers. The clarity and transparency of the receiver exceeds my old Carver. I find the FM reception very good. It's easy to operate, although I didn't bother with some of the more advanced options (like "naming" stations.)Bottom line: having owned it for almost 5 months I would buy it again.
