I’ve owned every receiver from the B&K to a Harman Kardon to the Sony ES, the 4k Onkyo reciever is definitely top dog build quality could probably use a little bit more but a for the price great deal the only complaint I have is they actually went too simple with the menu I know there used to be complicated but I mean we can’t even change the speakers from small to large or any of that the remote is just all basic it’s kind of for dummies I would like to have a little bit more control really but other than that the sound is absolutely fantastic the switching from sources is fantastic that’s the only thing I just wish we had a little bit more control not all of us are idiots when it comes to receiver but great product
