 wonderful! wonderful!May 04, 2006
By whoiskermit
I own 2 of these because the first one was so good. Besides being able to play anything well (CD, SACD, DVD), the amplifier section generates a clean, cool 23W into 4 ohms, enough to drive the included speakers to very high levels, the baby speakers are fantastically good, the microfibre woofer-midrange really works. Give the speakers 100 hours or more to break in, because they are light, you may want to weight them down. I listen only to classical music and I switched to these speakers from Epos 11's, for those who know, I cannot say more about the quality. Just listened to Water Lily Acoustics' SACD of Shostakovich 7 from St Petersburg. All I can say is "wow". But Boulez and Cleveland doing Debussy from 1992 on good old PCM sounds almost as good. Who would have thought Onkyo could produce such a great miniature.

A lot of bang for the buckMar 08, 2006

You really can't compare this system to more expensive two speaker systems. For one the price is nearly a quarter of them.
However this system fits a very nice nitch. It offers excellent sound quality for a smaller space. And it will play just about anything that comes on a disc. If you don't need a lot of power or 5.1 surround, but you're looking for a quality system this will fit your needs.

 Worst everAug 18, 2007
By DJP
"DJP"
I got this system in 4/07 - and it worked fine for 3 or 4 weeks. Then, it began turning itself off in the middle of DVD's or even iPod playback, resetting the clock/time and all other settings. At its worst, it would turn off about every 8 to 10 minutes. It spent over 6 weeks in the repair shop under warranty service (about 1/3 of the time that I've owned it), and within 20 minutes of getting it back home, it had the same exact problem. I placed several calls to Onkyo, spent about 20-30 minutes on hold with each call, spoke with people named Don, Ray, and Felicia in their Parts & Service department, and the universal response was to continue to bring it back to the shop, despite the fact that it's a brand new system. In the end, I was told that Onkyo's policy is to repair it approximately 3 times before they will consider an item exchange. Considering that it nearly never worked properly, that it's been in repair for over 1-1/2 months,and that Onkyo thinks this is acceptable, seems unreasonable. The system, if it worked, would be great - but it doesn't, and the "customer service" was among the most uncaring experiences I've had. It seems that Onkyo cares more about its own convenience than the satisfaction of its customers.

Mechanically loud disc playerJan 12, 2008
By gordieorr
I was pretty excited to get this stereo. I've been researching for quite awhile and was very impressed by the reviews of this product and had high expectations, especially with copy from the manufacturer like this: "Imagine turning up the volume and filling your entertainment room with noise-free, impressively powerful, true-to-life sound." So naturally i assumed that i would be getting a stereo that would produce wonderful sound for some of the quiet music i listen to. I like loud, aggressive music and I also love really quiet stuff, too, so i was pretty disappointed when set the Onkyo up and put on a quiet cd (Baird Hersey and Prana, "Eternal Embrace") and in the quiet moments all i could hear was a VERY LOUD disc mechanism spinning the cd. Sort of ruined the whole experience... I hoped that it was just new and needed to settle in but after a few hours of play it has not settled one bit and has even taken to clicking with each spin of the disc. Yuck!
Also, the speakers, as mentioned in some of the other reviews, obviously need to be "worked out" as they are bound very tightly and it made listening a bit tiring.
So, back to the search, 'cause this baby ain't it.

Fantastic Sound and tons of features at a great priceApr 09, 2007
By Joe Prefect
I can't stand to listen to the terrible sound coming from most mini-systems from Sony, JVC and others (even their high end mini-systems). It actually causes me physical pain to listen to them, well almost :). As a result I was going to buy the Denon or Yamaha mini-systems when I ran across this one from Onkyo. The sound is absolutely fantastic for a mini-system (great bass). The sound is comparable to the Denon or Yamaha. But the Onkyo has more features and is much cheaper. I bought one as a gift for a relative. But I like it so much I'm trying to find an excuse to buy another one for me.
