Onkyo's TX-8555 A/V Stereo Receiver: Focusing on a Superior Audio Amplification Approach for Quality Stereo Sound In the fast-paced world of home entertainment technology, change has become an understated word. Technologies now change so quickly that the new becomes yesterday’s product before you barely become accustomed to it.

I got a little older, well-regarded amplifiers (tube and solid state) that much more expensive when new, so my expectations were not high for this Onkyo. That said, I'm surprised by how good this amp sounds. I run the amp Pure Audio Mode (press twice on the Pure Audio button on the front, the blue LED lights, indicating the Pure Audio mode). If I did not know, I swear this was a high-end amplifier. There is absolutely no background noise. No whistle. No hum. Nothing but dead silence. Make music with quiet passages leap to life. I like this amp to drive speakers or headphones Grado Paradigm Titan, the quality of sound reproduction and dynamic range is absolutely excellent, especially bass. With a CD-quality audio source, I can clearly hear every cymbal to go with all this wood, every bass note, with all the vibrations of the strings of each finger amp costs, I can not imagine looking elsewhere if you need to ask important reference monitors. This amp is more than capable to drive a little to full-scale Floor speakers at a reasonable volume. The amplifier includes an AM / FM tuner that works quite well. FM channels coming in loud and clear with the antenna wire included. AM reception is a little difficult with the antenna included short and his son, then to plan a minimum, to add four to eight feet of wire of the AM antenna to the loop and get away from cords power. But it is really of little importance, if what you are looking for in the first place, is a high quality stereo amplifier. I listened to high-end amplifier many times its cost a lot and some that are pure and clean. The general appearance of the device is professional quality, with just the right weight and controls were positive comments and not feel thin. The volume is particularly nice, with a strong, smooth which react slowly, so fine, the volume control of analog. In short, I think anyone with reasonable expectations will be disappointed. This amplifier delivers performance and quality far beyond its price range. 54 of 56 people found this review helpful. Great value for money! For Colin_Potter_780 say that this Onkyo is an artist with money is an understatement. I have an Onkyo 705 surround sound receiver so they were my first choice for my stereo setup as well, but I auditioned a lot of other teams in the price range, and was close! This is exactly what is known about Onkyo, power clean, clear, good signal to noise ratio, etc. I use it to power a number of Bowers and Wilkins bookshelf speakers with a sensitivity of about 85 dB, and only in 40 volumes, the house is filled with beautiful sound! I would recommend this receiver to anyone looking for the best performance from their stereo without buying separate components (preamp and power amp)! The design is very stable, as with all Onkyo products, and it has a nice weight to it without feeling full of lead, it keeps the clean, simple design with Onkyo components and so many other brands are known to use that I very attractive. My two main complaints are trivial, but still need to be treated. 1) I would have used a backlit remote and the 705 ... 2) You press twice the PURE AUDIO button to select the Pure Audio mode to get ... another, from one-touch, it's not for direct mode .... Like I said, trivial.
