Onkyo TX-NR809 Receiver
Looking on the net over the last few months if there has been one bit of kit I’ve been lusting after its most definitely the Onkyo TX-NR809 (or to give it its somewhat unwieldy full title the Onkyo TX-NR809 7.2 Channel THX Certified Network Receiver).

Onkyo TX-8255 Stereo Receiver
The Onkyo TX-8255 Stereo Receiver is a bit of an odd little beast, Im not really sure what section of the market its aimed at. At the bottom end are those who dont really see the need for or the reason to have any kind of separates system and they are perfectly happy with radio [...]
