Everything you expect from top-flight name-brand modern home theatre's "powerhouse brain centre": actually rated ample power per channel, an array of features and options (taking a lifetime to get acquainted with), stunning build and looks (insides too!), reliable service-free circuitry... I'll save my breath on the list and specs. Plus more.

There are pretty good reasons to table those $5,000 (or so) and prefer the Onkyo. It's not for nothing that the brand pioneered the sweet forward sound character in 70s' items like direct drive turntables, stereo-amps and 3-way speakers. It was the only international partner of best phono cartridge makers. Those lines discontinued, the identity stays in this digital era unit. For that matter, the quality phono stage feels fine amidst the CD/DVD/HDTV busy modules. Even if vynil is last on your mind, the thing won't hurt. It reflects the ideology by which the overall amazing pulsy rhythmic tasty hi-to-lowdown-balanced sound couples with those hi-tech 150 w.p.c. and "longword" 24 bit DACs.

It's the happy coupling you pay for. It's this that the competition lack. And it's this that makes speaker selection piece of cake - anything goes. HDTV and composite video ability of the Onkyo is another boon. Again, the brand makes the most of its warm colour temperature philosophy and comes up with actually bettering whatever comes in and goes out to the screen. The feature contradicts with thesis that direct video feed (bypassing a receiver) is best in home theatres.

To cut long story short, I can't help surrendering to Onkyo. Every stride the [...] make, I see no room to improve. Because I want my home theatre to reveal the material, not just connect to other zones or the Web (these are the last on MY mind). I also task the system with about impossible - to play vynil collection like American cartridges used to. Digital artifacts notwithstanding. Analog direct, 6-channel stereo of DPL modes. This machine serves it all up.

Reservations: They are meagre, but the money warrant everything. I still find the back panel a nightmare to commute, the remote an attention-grabber, the front a beaten-up path. Having spent little time with the machine, I actually can't make out whether it's matrix 6.1 or proper discreet 7.1 DTS-ES which - I know - alone is enough to scare wits out of an over-caucious non-buff. To reasure such, 6.1 come across as no different to 7.1 (or, for that matter, to 10.1 which some Lucasfilm guys custom-build).

Verdict: In use at medium to large dwellings it behaves every bit as good as the flagship model (which the local distributor frets to price even!). It heads the major-league name-brand hi-end class in terms of sound/visual appeal. It's humane on features (equalisation and DSP effects), terrific and consciencious on parts (the beauty transformers and caps!) and advanced on circuitry. Then, it will fly twice as dearer on elitist markets where sky is the limit (consider the contender's lot in Russia as the example).
