What HiFi Review:

Cold, not black.. :wink:

Hot but not Onkyo !

Cold not a Sony.

Damn you sir! I've taken the bait oO

Why can't they put front pre-outs on these amps, it would cost pennies, they put phono sockets
on them for things that never get used.

Someone always has to mention that noname brand:-)

Thanks for this

Everybody says Onkyo. I have had 2 , the last TX-NR 626, constant problems, losing sound ect. You gotta spend big to get an decent Onkyo. As for Yamaha's ,had 3 including this one. AND IT IS EXCELLENT. Check out What hifi review.
Its a HOT from me! And not waiting for a ONKYO firmware update to get the DTS:X to work either!

​what's yogurt got to do with a deal about sofas?

I completely agree, had so many issues with my Onkyo Atmos receiver, on my third replacement one now and still got the same issues of it freezing and sound cutting out. My other Yamaha amp is 11 years old and still going strong!

Wow, wharra price!

​they make yoghurt don't they

‌ :grin:‌ :grin:‌ :grin:‌ :grin:‌ :grin:

Thats Onken not Onkyo :stuck_out_tongue:

​everyone commenting knows this. .these are common hukd jokes for receivers. .funny Loughborough guy started these.

Better than the denon 2300 do you think?

Cracking price. I just got this in black for £274 a couple of days ago.....wish I waited now!!

Forgive me for not doing the relevant research, but I've got some old bookshelf speakers running off an old DVD player, using aux in from my PC. Would I see a marked improvement, or would I still be limited by my speakers / PC itself? Is this only a worth purchase for a good 5.1 etc set? I have Celestion Ditton II's I found in a skip :smile:

I have the 381 model. I find the centre channel to sound a bit muffled compared to previous Sony (and Yamaha) amps I've owned before. But hey if What Hi-Fi give it a 5 star review then who am I to argue...

Someone who's not getting a kick back from advertising...

It's subjective but I would say yes, it should sound fuller due to better Q factor on the amp. I'd recommend getting a good subwoofer to run 80Hz downwards though.

This or £100 more for the Denon? One day I will make my mind up lol.

How does this compare to the Denon 4300h or the more expensive Marantz SR7011? Thank you.

​The old Yamaha YST-SW320 is a cracking sub and a lot more reliable than it's bigger brother the SW800 (I speak from experience on both)

Nice find. I have the rx675. Have been looking but not sure it'd be a massive difference. And 1 output? Come on surely a fair few people investing will also have a projector grrr..

I don't need nor want atmos. Should I get this or something cheaper? Do the 381 or 481 sound the same?

Probably the usual RS bait and switch scam where they'll tell you they only have the black in stock.

Hi there,

I saw your comments on this thread and wanted to take the opportunity to clarify.

At the time of writing the majority of stores do have this item in stock with several hundred available to our stores via our central warehouse.

However, if any forum member has had problems obtaining this deal then please drop me a PM and I will arrange to get one for you.

Many Thanks
