Editorial Reviews:

In the fast-paced world of home entertainment technology, change has become an understated word. Technologies now change so quickly that the new becomes yesterday's product before you barely become accustomed to it. Perhaps it's time to refocus on what's really important for quality audio: first-rate sound with high power output. Forget about over-hyped processing technologies. If your receiver lacks the fundamental amplifier design from the power supply through to the output stage, everything else is superfluous. The TX-8522 is built with this in mind. Incorporating Onkyo's proprietary Wide Range Amplifier Technology - WRAT with an isolated power transformer and discrete output stage, the TX-8522 is focused on maintaining the purity of music, radio and video sources while bringing meaningful features to your system. The receiver is the heart of your home entertainment system. The TX-8522 makes sure the sound output is tops. Phono input for adding a turntable IR input and output for second room and other component control Video and cassette tape dubbing capability Tape monitor 40 FM/AM random presets with station naming using direct access tuning with 10 key buttons / Radio Data System (RDS) for reception Pure Audio/Direct mode Motor-driven, precision volume control Headphone jack for adding an optional headphone Audio mute, sleep timer (via remote) 3-Mode display dimmer (dim/dark/normal) Battery-free memory backup Non-resonant feet Vibration-resistant top panel Reinforced chassis side panels New slip-free rotary volume knob Solid aluminum front panel Compatible with RI Dock for the iPod Banana plug-compatible speaker posts Full-function RI (Remote interactive) remote control Unit Dimensions (W x H x D) - 17 1/8 x 5 7/8 x 12 11/16 / Weight - 19.8 lbs./9.0 kg

Summary: Good Value For the Money
Comment: Onkyo receiver has plenty of power to drive my Advent floor standing speaker. I play a lot of LP Disk on a Daul Turntable and the premap on the Onkyo add no coloration or noise. For the average person who does not have golden ears this receiver has plenty of power with no noise or coloration added to the sound processed through it. Money well spent. I recomend this receiver.

Summary: I sent it back
Comment: I wanted to replace a 35 year old Marantz 1060 amplifier that had started blowing fuses. I got this thing and set it up and played a record and it sounded like Clapton was singing down inside a big can with a clothespin clamped to his nose. I was stunned. I could get Eric to sing really loud, but he couldn't take off the clothespin or get too far up out of the can. I found a local guy who diagnosed and fixed my Marantz for less than $80. I gave it one star because you can plug it in and turn it on.

Summary: Broke after 2 months, service terrible
Comment: After reading the reviews, I was looking forward to getting my new receiver (old one, Sony, broke down after 20 years of use, I can't complain!). New receiver broke down after less than 6 weeks! The service center was rude and unhelpful (hung up without telling me where to send it). Now I have to pay for shipping, will be without the receiver for at least a month since the service center in Colorado has a 14 day turnaround just on diagnostics, then 2 weeks to fix, then time to ship back. I am not a happy Onkyo customer and will not buy their product again. Hope this saves someone else my same grief. Buy Sony.

Summary: Everything you'd expect except a loudness contour
Comment: Budget audiophiles rejoice. This receiver puts out plenty o clean swat. It is enough to fill my small listening space with plenty of warm vinyl sounds. While it is no way my deceased marantz 2270 it is a heck of a deal. Not too many receivers offer this amp and a phono input at this budget. I have this attached to two koss cm 1030 towers from 1981, an audio source dual 10 band eq, and a fisher 6330 turntable with a shure mx97e cart installed. It is hands down better than my previous kenwood integrated amp. However, one thing bothers me. With all the nice clean onkyo features they left out the loudness contour. Not a big deal to most... but.. with a small listening room in a town home it is needed. Okay now for the good stuff. The receiver is fairly transparent. It pumps out plenty o watts for the buck. It cost me a whopping 152.00 refurbished. The bass and treble controls are at a nice frequency as well. My vinyl sounds very nice through this piece. The features are also well laid out. I warn you, feed this guy some larger speakers because it will more than likely destroy most inferior models.
