Seely I bought the Onkyo TX-NR808 to replace my aging 10 years old Lexicon DC-2 preamp and Carver Professional amplifiers. Miller and Kreisel Onkyo is THX 5.1 750 speaker system. I thought that after 10 years that I have an audio update to use, even if Lexicon is still a great device, but I did not feel like $ 6,500 a time to spend. I wanted a receiver that all of the newer DTS and Dolby surround sound formats and had to drive 4 ohm M & K speakers (8 vs 4 ohm setting in the setup menus). It sounds great, I love the video and turn right on the settings screens. I have a Netgear Digital Entertainer Elite 9150 is connected to a single HDMI cable. Being able to use HDMI, really cleans up the wiring, because it can also send audio via the same cable. The same goes for my HD decoder, HDMI, no separate audio cable. I had no problems with Ethernet connectivity, even though I left the update via Internet streaming via computer on the network is also beautiful without problems. Pandora works perfectly. For the price and features can not be beaten. Even Amazon has the lowest price. UPDATE: 02/07/11 Still no problem. Now I have a HTPC connected to running WMC and Boxee. Great product for the money. 49 out of 51 people found this review helpful. Optimum receiver in this price class by KD I've already bought a receiver and returned to 1120k. See my review and revision companion LSi15 1120k (right speaker, even though I bought them both) if you are curious. I've used this amp to drive 4 ohm speakers. Most enthusiasts will tell you to get an external amplifier to drive them. I am usually skeptical of these claims. Myth: You must use external amplifiers to drive 4 ohm speakers. False. I drove them with an Onkyo 808 135 watts 8ohm, I'm not sure 4 ohms Onkyo specifications that are not advertised, there was absolutely no cutting of blistering ear level. There are no bumps LSI15 I heard of the C-5. A tall, gave the Energy C-5 me a headache. But LSI is still extremely soft. Speakers (LSI15) is 89dB efficiency 1 watt, so if I push it to 110 dB, would require only 128 watts to run. 110 dB is much stronger than the most comfortable to live. I guess if you listen to the strongest, which would require external amplification. Most normal people do. Tip: Do not place the receiver in position 4 ohms. Leave at 8 ohms. 4 ohm mode only serves to reduce the production of energy to protect the receiver. My receiver has two fans that I never realized. Onkyo is by inserting the smart fans. Previously, they were hot enough to boil eggs. External reinforcement would improve the sound quality? I have my doubts. I am absolutely convinced of amps to extreme volume only normal volume no amplifier needed to improve the quality (relative to this receiver, the receiver can have fewer problems). But if anyone has an amp and want to prove me wrong, I'm willing to be a believer. Onkyo 808 is a huge animal with a very strong body with two fans. It has every high-end adjustable settings that you can imagine. The one thing I discovered that the noise correction due to my current Netflix ghost. However, be that because of the noise correction algorithm associated with the 120Hz feature on the TV. Switching off the noise-correction fix ghosting for me. The quality is good to change, but maybe a little soft to SD. I have no A to B comparison with Pioneer, so I can not be sure which is better. If Marvell is better, I have not noticed it. I would not recommend buying an audio receiver for video-processing chip. More SD look bad, regardless of the upcast, and a source of high def look best with a native resolution of your TV.
