Why does everyone keep overlooking the Onkyo 805 all the time??? ;(

Amon37 · 12-19-2007, 08:27 PM

What is "reasonable" budget?

gearyt · 12-19-2007, 08:31 PM

Agreed, this is a better choice than the 705. I have the 805 and love it! Plus with free shipping at Amazon.com with the sale price they had it like at $699 or $729 or something like that; and with no sales tax, that is a good deal.

This depends on your budget obviously... I would recommend the 605, I have it and it kicks ass. But if you have the cash, or bigger speakers, it doesn't hurt to jump up and get the extra wattage and HDMI ports.

I think the Onkyo would be a better choice than the HK's. Thier quality has really declined in the past few years. Denon is way out of his price range I am sure of it...

If THX certification is not that important to you and only two HDMI inputs, the 605 (which you can find for $399 or less) would be a good choice.

How are their lower end receivers? I don't know if I would want anything but one of their ES models. Thier lower end receivers have not rated very well...

BTW here is the 605 at Amazon for $379.99...

No problem, you are quite welcome...

I had the 605 and upgraded to the 805 about 3 months in because I got the 805 at CC for $629.99. The only gripes I had with the 605 was that there was a popping noise when the receiver switched over to PCM (which hopefully they have fixed), it only had 2 HDMI inputs (I needed four), and the fact that I couldn't customize the inputs (also I needed the extra inputs). Everything else about the receiver was great! For what it does at the price point it is at it is well worth it.

Nati man · 12-19-2007, 09:14 PM

I just bought the Onkyo 705 and so far I am very happy with it. Just listening to 300 on PCM is incredible!

what do you mean you could not customize the inputs? does the 805 have the popping noise?

MATTYBLU2 · 12-19-2007, 09:48 PM

WELL!!, we have a 3 way tie. i guess the yamaha is out of there!!!!

its a tough choice. at one time i was going to buy the pioneer elite 92 model, but price is dictating which one i get now and the $379 onkyo 605 @ amazon is a pretty sweet deal right now. i wish would have been home when CC had the 805 for $629, i would have snagged it, but it was only up at that price for a real short time. i know i can get a pioneer 92 for about $850 shipped. what is the 705 & 805 going for these days? anyone have any deals they know about? does amazon sell the 705 & 805?
