will this elite sc-72 be a good replacement for a burnt out onkyo 809

I bought one for Christmas last year and it works great hooked up to my klipsch reference series

I think so, how ever i have not owned a onkyo 809 this system works with great clarity with my Polk system speakers in my 20' x 25 ' room . It will make Theater sound for movies with 12" sub and 2 tower speakers in front an 2 larger book speakers in back. As for music if you are digital in live recording you can hear the clink of glasses in the audience , yes it will give you great pleasure i have no complaints what so ever flawless , except it has so many bells and whistles i an still trying to learn there is a learning curve be prepared for that

We bought this for Christmas, and love it. We sold our Onkyo system 3 years ago. My husband was never happy with it. This system is a great replacement.

I would say it is... its a nice interface. Much better than my old Onkyo 607.

Go with yamaha,the onkyo's run hot. Loys of complaints by other owners with heat issues.

As a center channel for a 7.1 system, with music playing through it, it sounds good. So for an old receiver it should sound fine.

Yes, your Onkyo TX-NR808 will power the A9s without any problems. In larger rooms I've noticed that I have to increase the volume to fill the room but even at a higher volume the A9s sound fantastic. They start to really sound good after a few weeks of use after they're really broken in.

I would say it should be fine as long as the 150 watts is not the peak power, but invest in an external equalizer and use together. If you experience a lot "cut offs" or receiver resets, return it and get something either beefier or a brand that pushes more efficient power like Onkyo.

neither: Get an Onkyo TX-NR808 if you can find one. It's really a much better receiver as well as has more features...

I just got the Emotiva XPA-5 to drive M70 fronts, CS2 center, and M60 surrounds. The difference over my Onkyo TX-NR808 is quite amazing! If you're on a budget the XPA-5 is a good choice. If you have a lot more to spend I'd look at Adcom, Sunfire, and Parasound equipment. I haven't listened to them but from what I've read you won't be let down.I still think the Emotiva XPA-5 is one of the most underrated products on the market. For the money, it's an excellent option. 5 year warranty gives peace of mind.

The Pioneer Elite and Pioneer receivers are rock solid. I have a Pioneer receiver that's 21 or 22 years old and still works great. Though it's now in my office for music only, it still preforms great. I tried switching to an Onkyo 875 about 5 years ago, and did not care for it. Too bright. Pioneer receivers, both Elite and non Elite have a nice warm sound.

There is a recall by Onkyo. Go to their website and see if you qualify: http://www.onkyousa.com/Support/service_info.php

i also can now. it was shipped to my house on saturday. i'm a little disappointed, i kinda wish i got the pioneer 919 for the upscaling factor. i had tabled it cuz it was a little out of my price range but about an hour after i bought the onkyo i noticed the pioneer was only 10 bucks more. oh well...thanks brad.

Sorry to say but it's time to look elsewhere than Onkyo, hdmi failure across the board, still no acknowledgement of the problem, this product is just as prone to failure as the lower end models, myself and Onkyo have parted ways am now running an Sc-79 and couldn't be happier

Steven L, if you read my review of this player, you should know that the other player to which I referred was the Onkyo 7030. I set them up and did an A:B comparison. With most discs, the differences were barely perceptible. On a few, the Yamaha sounded just a tiny bit "muddy" when compared to the Onkyo. My wife was unable to discern any differences. Both are excellent players. But if it helps your decision making process about getting one of these to add to your "stack," be aware that I am returning the Yamaha and getting a 2nd Onkyo.

Based on the specs and the layout of the onkyo receiver it looks completely compatible. The bose speakers are driven by the bass via the receiver so looks like it would work great

Apologies but we don't have any listing for Onkyo SBX-300 so we can't tell you which is the best.

I actually have an onkyo receiver, though not that model. The number on the front - bottom right is: R-805X. Maybe someone at onkyo can tell you if both models can use the same antenna. Hope it helps.
