Onkyo TX-NR 509 for $141.95 @ Amazon - Blu-ray Forum

michaeljoo · 12-28-2012, 02:12 PM

I don't know how much lower it can get than this, folks.

5.1 AV receiver, 80W per channel.

Link.

I don't have have direct experience with this model (yet, but I just placed an order for one), but I've had the 803 and currently have the 809 and 3009 and have been happy with those.

I picked one up for a secondary set up that I've been meaning to get a relatively inexpensive AVR for, and at this price it seemed like a steal to me.

I believe this is the lowest price it's been on Amazon. (I'd try to PM this at BB for RZ points or J&R to avoid tax, but neither have this in stock as it is last year's discontinued model that for some reason Amazon still has inventory of).

In related news, the Onkyo TX-NR414 (which I believe is the current version of the 509) is on sale for $232.11. It has 6 HDMI inputs vs. 4 for the 509.

Hmm, for some reason, it removed Amazon as the seller on the main product page and it says that there are "4 new from $289.99.

But, if you click on the "4 new" Amazon stills shows as the first seller for the $141.95 price.

Edit: Rats, nevermind, it looks like the deal is already dead. Not surprised considering the price. Sorry, I should have posted this earlier, I had a CCC alert when I woke up this morning.

Back at $148.82.

Not quite as low as earlier, but pretty close!

All gone, either purchased or relisted at a higher price by Amazon Warehouse. Good deal while it lasted, thanks for pointing it out!

For the most part, this receiver has been a good AVR. In the beginning, however, I would get sparkly effects that would appear when you turn on the onscreen display. I changed the HDMI cord and that has never reappeared. But I do still get rare instances of audio dropouts. Happen a lot before the HDMI cord swap and very rare after.

''Bad'' HDMI cord = Monoprice
Replacemeent HDMI cord = GE

Heard people say ONKYO are known to have HDMI issues. I only paid 250 like 1.5 years ago. Thats cheap compared to some true midrange ones that cost around 500-600. But still...I would probably try a Denon next time.

Just sharing my experience. Otherwise this AVR has been performing like a champ. I am very happy with the sound. Too bad I live in a apartment or else I would really try to test it out.
