Title: Great receiver, but...
Review: I purchased 2 Onkyo TX-SR805's from Amazon and had to return both of them. The first would shut off every time the I turned the volume about half way up; the second worked great for about 10 days until my wife went to turn it on one day and sparks flew and scared the s... out of her; needless to say, I no longer own an Onkyo. The sound was great, the price was right, the build quality was missing. Both of them also ran hotter than any other electrical device I have short of a space heater. I had a fan on top of the unit to help with cooling and it did lower the temp by about 20 degrees F. I now own a Pioneer Elite, cost more but I am very happy with it and it has worked for 3 weeks now.Amazon's customer service during these problems was 5 stars except for the times I was obviously hooked up overseas and there was a definite language problem; but even so the people I spoke with could not have been nicer - just had to call back during the day to get my issue resolved.
Is the review positive or negative?
