keep us posted. btw wala ba return policy sa napagbilihan?
DISAPPOINTING to a large extent
Im trying to love the unit that Ive purchased pero wala talaga.
First, using push/pin type speaker terminals, hindi kasya mga gauge #16 to #12 speaker wires ko, so i need to flatten it using pliers at maisuksok lng yung maliit na part.
To give overview and before I gave detailed review at a later time as Im still trying to find the best settings... baka magkaroon ng improvement (sana)
Music Quality Walang dynamics, walang warmth and soul... as in day and night ang difference sa sound ng Marantz, I know the sound of Marantz for 10 years so Im very familiar how it perform for every test music I tried (usually from jheena lodwick, Patricia Barber and that Best of AudioPhile Female voices CDs). The Onkyo sound is just full body and punch and that's it, walang reverberation (which is Marantz Signature). Kung baga sa singing contest, walang emotion at details.
Separation of instruments can be barely heard in Onkyo, halos walang details. Sa Marantz, feel mo yung emotion nung singer, para kang niyayakap.
Parang ganun na yung tunog nya? Hello Onkyo, sana sa entry level lang ganyan ang quality ng sound nyo.
You really need to pump the volume to hear the colors, pero it will be too loud...
And Im missing direct mode (sub off) in Marantz, wala bang ganung option sa Onkyo? Kasi direct mode nila nakaengage pa rin sub.
Movie Sound Quality I thought this was Onkyo's strongest spot, expected to have a full body sound.. okay okay... Pero wala pa ring dynamics. If you are a person who loves bass and shake, then this is yours, but do not expect to be amazed at it lacks details and dynamics, hindi engaging.
I
may keep this for the moment due to convenience at para masanay rin ako sa sound nya, baka may ibubuga pa (or masyado lang akong obsessed sa Marantz sound).
Actually I did not expect much, as they are both entry level receiver; it's so disappointing that the manufacturer added all the features you need but left the sound quality big time.
No more Onkyo products for me
I was right all along since 10 years ago
