Customer Review Best Customer Review : After my 21 year old Sony STR-AV460 receiver lost sound on one channel, I began searching for a replacement. I was already impressed with the Onkyo surround sound system (HT-R320)I bought 2 years ago to go with a big screen television, and after studying reviews in Consumer Reports and the Amazon web site decided to stay with Onkyo. The TX-8211 was easy to set up, since all I had to do was swap over the speaker, phonograph, CD player, and tape deck connections already in place. The sound quality is a major improvement over my old receiver (which had probably suffered some gradual deterioration over the years) - no distortion, and significantly more vlume output. My only disappointment is that the FM sensitivity is the same as the old equipment (and the other Onkyo receiver, for that matter). I had hoped I might get better reception of some of the weaker stations in my area (Boston 'burbs), but I presume a better antenna is needed to address that issue. Bottom line: nice unit, great price, and very quick delivery from the vendor (J & R Music/Computer World). Customer Review 1 : a prudent choice - Kara Elise Kovlacheck-west - san diego, ca United States i bought this because at the time it was the most affordable receiver with a phono input, and i have always heard good things about onkyo. to put it simply (as most other reviews seem to agree): solid, affordable, simple. i've driven 4 different sets of speakers (at different times) on this onkyo, and all sound decent, if uninspired. other than that, i'd say its the honda civic of receivers. i compare it to the vintage 70's receiver i fire up at times (the '69 dodge charger of receivers)- it blows the onkyo out of the water in sound intensity and power, but seems ready to blow the speakers out as well. what does this all mean? i don't know. Customer Review 2 : Onkyo - Scorpiette - New England I've given this 5 stars because I have absolutely nothing negative to say. For the price, this is a great receiver. It fills my condo with full rich sound at quarter volume; I get three Public Radio stations (and lots of others); and it's easy to use. I recommend it.
