I bought the Onkyo TX NR709 because of the many inputs, network connection and price. The processor does a fine job of producing good channel separation in the many modes to choose from. So far it is the best receiver, as far as the processor goes, I have even had. The internal channel amplifiers work OK. I hooked up mono block amplifiers to the right, center, and left preouts and the sound is way more clear. The universal remote is somewhat limited in the learning mod.
This is my 2nd Onkyo receiver and you get a lot power for a very reasonable price. The quality is top notch and will give Denon, Pioneer and other top brand receivers a run for their money. The best part of all is you can get this receiver for $200-$400 these days. Every brand is going to have their issues, there will always be people that will give a bad review. Do your research and make your own decisions, don't take other peoples word. They're all good, choose which one is best for you.
The short and sweet is: If you're an audiophile, you'll want one of these. If someone you know is an audiophile, they'll want one of these. If not this model specific (since it IS discontinued) the replacement of it will be sure to make them smile with delight and you'll have enough left over to buy them an awesome centre channel or subwoofer!

The receiver lives up to my expectations. From the top notch video output to the streaming audio and network connection the Onkyo delivers. The one feature I was disappointed on was not being able to play video files over the network. The sound is very good in all formats from Bluray to dlna. The amount of inputs and outputs are great. This piece should be able to hang with me for a few years without me wanting the next great feature.
