Onkyo TX-NR646 and TX-NR747 Atmos / DTS:X AV Receivers Preview

 

Onkyo's TX-NR646 and TX-NR747 AV receivers are among the FIRST DTS:X receivers on a manufacturers website. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X ready as well as having 4k Ultra HD, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Upgrade time?

Great name, great value!

 

Comparing to different brand items, at similar cost, this thing blows them out of the water! I've tested Dennon, Marantz, and Yamaha within +200$ of this price range, and I really felt this one will get you the best bang for your buck. Tons of HDMI...

Power, Inputs.

Jaw dropping performance and at insane price

 

This replaced a $2500 Arcam receiver that was 11 yrs old and my only regret is the Arcam didn't break sooner.

Sound and Video quality is superb. Power is impressive. Switching is fast.

Zone 2 will only send out an analog source. So I connected a zone 2 speaker to the center channel for dialog to hear tv in the other room.
