Onkyo TX-NR801 Receiver (Onkyo-TXNR801)

Reviewed by: monaceio

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Pure, high fidelity sound, be able to play mp3 off network

Weaknesses: no dvi or hmdi port like some other high-end a/v receivers

Overall Evaluation: This is definitely the best a/v receiver I have. Moive with Dolby Digitial 5.1 or 5.1 EX automatically convert to THX-EX matrix. Sounds great. Of course You can disable it if you want. DTS Neo6 matrix also perform extremely well. NetTune needs a lot of improvement. I use this receiver to play music channels through digital cable, so I don't really care about the nettune feature. But Onkyo's software still have some rooms to imporve. Other than that, TX-NR801 is a must have Hi-Fi A/V receiver under $1000.
