Onkyo C-7030 Compact Disc Player

On first opening the box that the Onkyo C-7030 CD player is shipped in you may think they have sent you the wrong package for a second or two. The Onkyo C-7030 is on first inspection not only extremely well built but man is this thing “professional” looking. To my mind the front plate has [...]

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 [...]

Onkyo TX-SR608 Receiver Review

The Onkyo TX-SR608 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver is amongst Onkyos more recent efforts in the entry level AV receiver market, and while this bit of kit may be classed as “Entry Level” features and quality wise it is far from it. The Onkyo TX-SR608 has become a very common site in just about any AV [...]

Onkyo TX-NR808 7.2-Channel Network Home Theater Receiver Review

Occasionally we go out of our way to get our hands on a unit that everyone else has the hots for just to see what all the fuss is about. I had to ring several people (Thanks David ) and do some beg/borrow/stealing to get my hands on this little baby. But boy was it [...]

Onkyo TX-8555 Stereo Receiver Amplifier Review

Onkyo have been making great inroads into the affordable 5.1 and 7.1 multimedia receiver market over the last several years but while they have produced some excellent products in these categories they have not neglected the stereo receiver market.

Onkyo CS-325 CD Receiver System Review

The Onkyo CS-325 CD receiver system was designed to fill the gap between entry level cheap shelf systems and serious quality mini hi fi and separates systems, after using it for a short while we feel it has definitely fulfilled that role well. Appearance wise it is minimalist and solidly built with a simple to [...]

Onkyo DX7555 Audiophile CD Player Review

The Onkyo DX7555 Audiophile Single Disk CD Player doesn’t have any of the usual bells and whistles associated with run of the mill CD players. It doesn’t have a 5 discs carousel. It doesn’t support WMA, SACD or HDCD. It is however a excellent mid to high end device built for approaching Audiophile level sound [...]

Onkyo A9555 Integrated Digital Stereo Amplifier Review

To sum this piece of kit up we have to say “Slightly retro Looks, but 100% 21st century sound”, the Onkyo A9555 has a very precise sound for an amp in its price range. The bass is fast and punchy but not at the expense of the top end which is crystal clear and has [...]
