    ONKYO 876 ROCKS. I have owned many brands over the years, some very expensive, some not so expensive.

ONKYO 876 is top dog in my opinion. I disagree completetly with the REON comment. Unless of course you were unlucky enough to get the first run. However, Onkyo corrected the problem... Read more

    A first class product - have had it for 9 months. Sounds great and Reon Video processor does a super job - I have all content upgraded to 1080p to 60" Pioneer Plasma. Interface is pretty easy, but takes some time with the manual to understand things. Does run hot, so needs ventilation. Looks like this is being phased out so you can get them cheap. Always had good luck with Amazon and electronic purchases. Read more or see product
