Description
the TX-SR805 A/V surround receiver has been built to provide comprehensive control over all movies, music, broadcasts and gaming. But that barely begins to describe the TX-SR805's potential. Augmented by its THX Ultra2 certification, this receiver goes even further by bringing you sophisticated room-correction technology, multi-zone capabilities, powerful bi-amping and dual push-pull amplification. The TX-SR805 provides a reference point for a new generation of high-definition A/V receivers.

Strengths: Future Proof; plenty of power & features
Weakness: Gets really hot!
I was wanting to upgrade to a high-end future proof Audio/Video Receiver (AVR). I did a lot of research, and came to the conclusion that theTX-SR805 was the best bang for the buck. Onkyo provides a 2-year warranty, which is better than many other manufacturers. This receiver will decode all the latest and greatest high-def audio formats, and is HDMI 1.3 compatible. The remote control is learning,...
Strengths: Tons of features; supports latest HD formats; great value; solid construction
Weakness: Second zone needs analog inputs; overkill
I bought into all the hype on needing the latest generation AVR to support the new HD audio codecs. I had bought an Onkyo TX-SR804 receiver just over a year ago, and it was already out of date! I needed HDMI 1.3 and the support for the Dolby True-HD and DTS-HD, or so I thought. I sold my 804 at a loss, but managed to pick up the 805 at a good price. My first impressions upon opening the box is...
Strengths: Power, sound, connections, everything
Weakness: Only 1 subwoofer connection
Okay - I bought this received to replace my old Sony and to work with my new Blu-Ray and HD-DVD players. I wanted to take advantage of the new Tru-HD and other HD formats as well as being able to hookup everything through HDMI connections. Well 2 hours later and I switched it on! One caveat - this is a BEAST! Be sure to have a friend to carry the box and lift it out - its big and heavy. Some have...
Strengths: Plays HD audio formats in Blu Ray & HD-DVD (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD); Post-processing of PCM over HDMI (7.1 from a 5.1 input); Powerful amp (THX Ultra2 certification); Burr brown DAC; 3 HDMI inputs
Weakness: Weak up-conversion from Component or S-video to HDMI; Large size; Requires ventilation (like most units with its amp & features)
This receiver will change the way you will watch and hear Blu Ray & HD DVD movies. It can accept high definition audio formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master audio over HDMI (PCM or bitstream) and of course, multi-channel analog. Set up is easy with the on-screen display and Audyssey EQ system. The Audyssey system uses a mic to determine the location and frequency range of every speaker as...
Strengths: 3 HDMI sources. Lots of power
Weakness: Only converts non HDMI sources to 720p over HDMI... HEAVY
So far after doing a bunch of tests between the inputs I can say I am very impressed with the sound Quality. This AVR at 130 watts per channel sounds like it is doing a lot more! Setup was easy as far as speaker configuration, the Audyssey MultEQ XT auto calibration system runs a speaker measurement set up for up to 8 listening positions in your room! so if you want it to take into account your...
Strengths: 1. support newest HDDVD/Blue-Ray decode 2. support newest HDMI 1.3a 3. THX certified
Weakness: 1. huge and heavy 2. need times to figure out how to input wires 3. price is above average
This receiver doesn't let me down! Very stylish design and with all the highest technology build in, I think that this is a worth buy! The only receiver that has THX certified which guaranteed you the best sound quality for home theater. It can decode newest HD-DVD or Blue-Ray's dts HD and Dolby TrueHD which means that you can fully enjoy your newest HD entertainment on your HDTV and hear the...
Strengths: Low Cost for functionality.
Weakness: Doesn't perform as specified.
I purchased a SR-805S from 6ave because it advertised 1080p output and HDMI switching, at a low price. The other reviews I read lead me to believe that it was capable of outputting 1920x1080 @ 60Hz which I thought would be perfect. Yes the unit outputs at 1920x1080 but it scales 1920x1080 HDMI PC inputs so ultimately they look terrible. I called Onkyo, called 6ave, and eleven days out of your 30...
Strengths: plays all new hd audio formats,thx ultra 2plus many different dsp sounds
Weakness: delays when switching between hdmi inputs(about2 seconds)
beside the weakness that i mention its an awesome receiver in every way possible,video upconversion to 1080p excellent and sound mind blowing.Highly recommended by me and home theatre magazine for february issue.lots of bells and whistles for 749.00 receiver
Strengths: Features, reviews, quality
Weakness: None
Very happy with this receiver, actually receiving it is another story. I just plain think Fed Ex stinks. They really aren't willing to work with you, even if it will save them time, and the 800# people make claims that local employees have no intention of abiding by. But I digress, the receiver is awesome. I think I read every review before buying this and it was well worth the time. The options...

The Onkyo TX-SR805 represents the current pinnacle of value at its price point. It sounds good, decodes all the latest HD audio codecs, sports a large power supply, has an impressive feature set, THX Ultra2 certification, and Audyssey MultEQ at a price well below what the competition offers. This high level of value is not just limited to this particular model; Onkyo has spread value and features...

Upgraded from 605 to 805
Strengths: Great sound. WOW
Weakness: Heavy, but not an issue for me.
The Onkyo 805 is a great system. I upgraded from the 605 to the 805, I was lucky enough to have just purchased the 605 35 days before CircuitCity dropped their price from $1099 to $799. If you are on the fence and trying to figure out if it worth the extra money to get the 805 compared to the 605 then depending on the kind of speakers you have I would say "YES". My current system setup is Mirage...
