Onkyo TX-NR656 7.2 Channel Network A/V Receiver

Wow! Por el precio en el que lo conseguí, y por la calidad, jamás había tenido un sistema de sonido tan bueno. Incluye bluetooh, Air Play y es compatible con la mayoría de servicios de música en streaming, excepto, me parece, Google Music (que se compensa con el Bluetooth). Se nota la calidad del equipo.

I've recently decided to upgrade my system from a older 5.1 pioneer D308 system (which was at it's limit for inputs etc). I have spent a day or so setting up this system as a 5.1 system with the intention to go to either a 5.1.2 or a 7.1 once I get my speakers sorted out. I am currently using Polks as my front speakers and Wharfdales for my rears and the sound is superb. I've tried auditioning music with 'direct' stereo mode and the sounds are crisp but a little lossy at the higher frequencies, however I have also used the stereo mode and my god it's like having the band be right in front of you. The sound-stage is incredibly clear. I have adjusted a couple of the levels and have used the MP3 enhancer which sorts out some lacking tones in the compressed audio. I am very impressed and as I do my own Audio mixing I can now actually hear the nuances of the professionally mixed stuff on my hi-fi vs my studio headphones. I believe the equalisation using the supplied microphone has really sorted out the echoics using pink noise profiling. I have not had a chance to use Atmos yet due to my speaker configuration but DTX and DTS both work well. The menus are clear and easy to navigate. I now use the app on my iPad to control the system and it works well (albeit with some minor issues). I am streaming all my music from my NAS (netgear readyNAS) and this system works well. It basically makes my SlimServer device redundant (which is a good thing since I'm trying to get rid of stuff). The Bluetooth connectivity works flawlessly as does the Airplay. Network radio is something new to me and I really like the fact that I can play any radio station in the world using my internet connection. If I don't have internet I can always use my local FM/AM reception!! Video passes through simply and the whole configuration of video/audio pairing is pretty straight forward. Basically you can assign any audio to pair with any video. All in all, I am very happy with my upgrade. I was not after a bells and whistle system but more for an all round entertainment unit for my living room. This unit has delivered in spades. Recommended for the normal person. I'm sure there are features on the more expensive units but in reality all I want to do is watch movies with surround sound, 4K resolution and listen to Pink Floyd in crisp fidelity (which I and doing right now and really enjoying it!!).

I've bought two of these NR656 Onkyo 7.2 A/V receiver's. The price point on this and the features combined were just unbeatable. Besides being one of very few that offer Phono Input, as well as a host of other RCA and HDMI input/Outputs. This Network receiver is really and truly just that. And the Blue-tooth capability of the 656 is outstanding. If you have a home network, or just want this so you can stream music straight from your PC/Laptop/Tablet/Phone, whatever, this receiver won't let you down one bit. And with the 7.2 Surround system it can really kick out the sound. Whether using this for home theatre or for music, this will get the job done. In my LR setup I'm driving mostly Polk Audio in the front and rear, center and sub. With Klipsch in the Atmos position, backed up by some Infinity. So I'm really pushing 9.2. And at half way you can't stand in the same room. In my pool room, I'm running a similar setup with the exception of having some 15" Cerwin Vega in Front, Polk Audio in Back, Polk center and Infinity Sub. With Polk in the Atmos postion. Again, I'm running this in 9.2 mode. These are great receivers. You can't beat the price. The HDMI passthrough is superb. I've had one of these about 2 years now. This one only a couple months. Compared to my older, much more expensive Onkyo, which weighs about 40 pounds more, with 100 watts more power. I'll take this over the older more expensive model anyday of the week. It lacks nothing in sound quality, in component and HDMI hookups either. The BT connection is superb. I can walk around my house with my laptop and stay connected to which ever stereo I have it connected too. I couldn't recommend a BT receiver more highly than I do this one. If you are looking for a good upgrade, and one that has the ability to hook up a Turntable. This is the one. Look no further.

Le falta un poco de potencia pero por el precio no me quejo (11k con todo y envío + impuestos) después de casi un año de uso no tengo ninguna queja

The sound quality is poor. For example, FM radio sounds as poor as AM radio does on my decades old receiver. Playing Spotify with Bluetooth through my phone on this unit sounds even worse than its FM radio does (and at a MUCH different volume -- beware). Onkyo has always had a very good reputation for high quality and accurate sound reproduction; so I really looked forward to using this receiver. I got it in the mail today, and was utterly disappointed. The sound is so bad no matter how one has the treble and bass set up. I'm using this solely for two-channel audio (with my speakers connected only to the Front Left & Front Right channels). I don't have a monitor connected to it. The set up is cumbersome without a monitor. Connecting it directly to Spotify (instead of via Bluetooth with my phone) without using a monitor is no mean feat; I'm not sure I'll be able to do it. I would not recommend this unit at all--not even if using a monitor. A MUCH cheaper receiver should sound better.
