Reviews of Onkyo TX-8255

  1. Poor design details

    Everything works fine but there are a few design details which were not well thought out. The worst is the location of the volume and mute controls on the remote: right in the lower right corner so you need two hands to use them. The volume increments were too large for my taste. If the volume wasn't quite high enough, one touch on the remote made the volume too loud. The angle over which the receiver can see the remote is said to be 30 degrees each side (as I recall)...

    Needed to replace an old receiver for a multi-room system. I'd read good review about this reciever and they were well deserved. It puts out good, clear, quality sound. I'm powereing speakers in multiple rooms with no problem. It won't absolutely blow the windows out with power, but I didn't expect or need it to. Over all a great quailty unit for the price.

    I didn't want a high priced receiver for my basement since I don't use it as much as I should. I like to listen to music while I am exercising. The Onkyo suits my needs and was a really great price and I had great help from your specialists in hooking up the system. Read more

    I like ONKYO recievers and this one is only analog, so it is right what I need. As I have some surround and digital ONKYO, it is wonderful for me to return back in time to hear tapes and CD in analog raw sound. That is why I love it very much. Read more

    Works great for me, love the controls and remote, and the price was perfect. If you want a lot of power and high quality sound reproduction, this thing won't disappoint. Read more
