I got this receiver for christmas, and I must say, it is great!! I got it as an upgrade over a JVC 6020v (100w x 5), and this Onkyo's 75 high current amps blow the JVC away! I was debating whether to get this or the Sony STR-DE697, and with features,...

Incredible SS amplifier that was a predecessor to my long-time listening and use of tube amplifiers. Prior to acquiring the dma90, I was using a pair of 40wpc SET triodes, vertically bi-amped and loved their warmth, seductive midrange, and palpability....

Introduction When I think of enormous power, I think of a Big-Block Chevy, or perhaps the military's M1A1 tank. In audio -- Bryston has given us the 7B-ST monoblock power amplifiers. At a solid 500 watts per side, they have the power to move mountains,...
