Buying an Onkyo TX NR807 A/V 135 Watts Per Channel

[Indian Hills Theater]

My old Kenwood is sick. I'm shocked they don't do home audio anymore. My Onkyo should be in Saturday. I got it for $789.75. Thoughts?

Let me know how you like the streaming internet radio feature. Actually I'd like to know how it works (on screen display?), sound quality, customization (setup on pc prior or on the fly with the receiver), etc. Just about everything there is to know about it actually.



PS

Thanks in advance!

enjoy $789 is a bit too much.

You will be very happy with the 807, I think. It should be a very good receiver. I know I like my 805 a lot. You got it for a good price too. Amazon has it right now for $799, and they're usually one of the cheapest places to buy from.

Kenwood and JVC merged a little while back. So, if you buy a JVC system, you're buying a Kenwood system............... Just an FYI.

For it's features it's quite a deal.

For a similar performance Denon he would have paid 2-3 times the price.

Check out the RC180, it's essentially an 807, but without the triggers and the HDMI input on the front.

Edit: Nevermind, just re-read the OP and saw you were expecting it Saturday. I though you were considering getting it. Enjoy.

We had some bad news financially yesterday. We already knew I got no raise this year or next. Now we find out my wife got no Christmas bonus or raise next year. So we went down to getting a SR607.

Got it hooked up last night. I won't have much time until NEXT week to see how it does.

why do you or any of us think that is bad news, you just bought a HT Receiver and you and your wife have jobs. Lets not forget that there are millions of Americans out of work and lots of them are homless on the street.

I didn't get a raise either but I'm thankful I have a job and my family is provided for. Keep your perspective and don't lose sight of what you have, please.

Now, having said that, i'm sure you will be happy with the 607, my friend just got one about 2 months ago and he is very, very happy with it. It has lots of HDMI's too; more than my 805!

[HiDefRev]

Very well said, Solarrdadd. Though all of us ( including ME ) are infected with the dreaded "upgraditis" virus, in times like these we can just sit back and enjoy the systems we have put together so far. I am certainly enjoying all of the ball games and Christmas programs this month on my Home Theater System and am thankful for what I have. By the way, GREAT PURCHASE, Indian Hills Theater !! I know you will enjoy the 607 as much as I love my 667 !!! * *

Wow, I felt as I've been ripped off. I just bought this darn thing at my local Frys for $999.99

[nismo604]

while not as powerful as my 805, those new features such as PIIz and Dynamic EQ are features I wish my 805 could have.

[DonRSD]

the only thing i wish my 806 had is ;volume normilization'
so when commercials come on the volume doesnt spike

the 876 had this feature

I guess I shouldn't tell you that Newegg sells the TX-NR1007 for $999.99 with free shipping almost every weekend then, huh?

you pay the premium at Fry's for there service if something goes wrong you take it back and they will take care of it. you buy from new egg you have to pay $60+ to ship it back.

[Lopan]

It's official, I had returned my Onkyo NR807 for credit back $999. I then used it to buy some really kick ass Polk Audio speakers with 2 free sub woofers. My heart is set on the Pioneer Elite SC-25.
