Like the previous reviewer I previously owned a Sony out of the box system and upgraded to the 606 and 5001.2s. The results have been magical, when I first took the plunge into surround sound I was astounded by the leap in sound quality and upgrading to separate amp, dvd player and speakers was a similar gap.

With the generous sub included and proper set up the amp is able to manage both heavy action films (my personal fav on it being The 300) but is also more than suitable for playing my girlfriends chick flicks.

The only place where the Onkyo lacks is in the stereo department. I've just bought an Arcam CD192 which i feel could be greatly improved by bi-amping with a simple 2 channel. This however is overly picking as if you wish for great stereo you buy a stereo amp.

In conclusion this is a great AV amp and a good stereo amp. Well worth the price, WHF weren't wrong giving it 5 stars and best in category.

I was swaying between SH and H as I don't feel you have included that much info but I opted for H as I like to be generous. To recieve higher ratings you should edit and add lots more information! thanks xx
