Onkyo TX-NR906 AV Receiver

Safe to say, you like this then. Even if it is a tad on the expensive side.

well compared to the equivalent Denon or Yamaha its not actually that bad price wise.
My 705 was the cheapest of the three in the same feature set, in fact the onkyo trumped the Yammy (my previous make) in the video stakes.

How long, on average, would something like this sit in the average AV user's living room I wonder? I guess that's a better measure of economy:performance.

I am considering buying one of these, but have heard the Onkyo's have a tendency to run quite hot? I wondered whether Danny could comment on this and how quietly it runs?

I have observed many folks making comment about higher power recievers running hot. Well the answer must be yes... This Onkyo is 7 channels x 230 watts.. 1630 watts !!! put 16 100 watt light bulbs in a box the same size and see if the box remains cool!!!! If it did run cool then I would want my money back. I paid dearly for real power.. not just some phoney number.. BTW. I do have a onkyo 700 series it is just great.. It lives upto everything it claimed it would..

I have an NR906 and the reason I 'took the plunge' on a complex piece of kit was my experience with Onkyo. It is a seriously reliable and well built product...across the range. Onkyo reminds me of a company that spends all its money developping a product and leaves nothing in the kitty to market its virtues. Not a criticism, opposite infact, it makes it appealing to people who do a bit of research.
