Onkyo's TX-SR605 is a very talented performer. It’s the first AV Receiver to include HDMI 1.3, and offer decoding of new sound formats such as DTS-HD and Dolby True HD. But it’s also a powerful home cinema amplifier that provides a true 7.1-channel output, compatibility with 1080p and Deep Color (xvYCC) video signals, as well as Faroudja de-interlacing. The built-in Audyssey 2EQ enables swift and easy automatic calibration in any room, but what’s really amazing is the extremely competitive price. The Onkyo is a superb future-proof buy for the true enthusiast and the more cost-conscious consumer alike.

(...) And the results? Fabulous. In the past, Onkyo receivers had a reputation for being just a bit boisterous. But here, the company´s trademark brute force is combined with the finesse of a ballerina and the deadly accuracy of a marksman. (...) In fact, whatever content you send through the Onkyo, it laps it up with calm confidence. Perhaps surprisingly for one so obviously muscle-bound, it even handles music with aplomb, displaying good timing and masses of detail. (...) Clearly, the new TX-SR875 is a tremendous all-round receiver: it immediately establishes itself as a rival to the very best.  (...) For: Supremely powerful yet composed sound; a real future-proof feature list. (...) Verdict: Onkyo is on a roll: this has stunning all-round ability, coupled to bags of tomorrow´s technology.

(...) The uncompressed PCM soundtrack to "Flags of our Fathers" is given the full Onkyo treatment: dynamic scope, wide-open soundstage and stern effects placement. There´s grip and grunt, but also detail and nuance from the quietest or most complex moments. It never sounds less than poised and natural. (...) Right on the money. The TX-SR605 is built to last, sets itself up accurately via the bundled mic, is simple to use via the remote or fascia, and sonically and spec-wise it´s right on the money.   (...) For: Spec, build and ergonomics work; fulminating film soundtrack ability. (...) Verdict: There is no stopping Onkyo just now - the TX-SR605 has a surfeit of talent, especially where movie sound is concerned - a must-hear unit.  

(...) The outstanding dynamic range of the TX-SR875 really gets a movie out of the speakers and into your room. 

(...) Highs: Smooth and powerful HQV processing,THX Ultra2 certification

(...) Conclusion: The TX-SR875 isn´t a jack of all trades but it is a master of one - and that is creating cracking home cinema sound with every genre of movie and every surround sound format you throw at it.

(...) Sound Quality: I have to say this is one of the most obviously characterful loudspeakers i´ve reviewed in a long time, if ever. (...) Sitting over a meter high then, the little ONKYOs sang like a bird, and sounded as free as one, too. (...) Bring that supernatural spaciousness together with the wonderful tone and superlative timing, and the result is an immensely enjoyable loudspeaker. Indeed, it is one of the most exuberant, joyful sounding devices I have ever heared.   Verdict: Outstanding musik makers with a lovely, unique, tone - but not all things to all men. Future classic in the making, and an instant cult loudspeaker.
