This is modular system and more flexible system: it will allow you to add/replace/upgrade speakers as you wish, and you can also place those speakers at any location of your choice in your room for better sound. It's also wired (allows for better uncompressed/lossless sound).

This does not have a phono input (some other receivers have it), you will have to get a pre-amplifier to get a line level so that you connect your turntable to this receiver. Also not that this is a multi-channel sound system, so you will be able to listen to your stereo records on all of the 5.1 speakers this system has.
these are all wires and if you took the time to check the product page you woulda known
These are always going to be better than a sound bar in my opinion. This will give you full 5.1 surround sound. A sound bar is only directly facing you.
I would definitely recommend it. I've been enjoying the Onkyo system in my media room quarantine style.

I've heard really good things about this, People say this is considerably better than having a soundbar, definitely a great price for an introductory Home Theater setup.

My dad has had onxyo for years now. When his last system became obsolete (because it didn't have hdmi) he wouldn't get anything but Onkyo. This is a good deal. Normally the tuner alone is around $300
had my old onkyo since 2012 or something something just like this, going very strong and been very happy. only difference is i think i paid like $150 then for a 7.1 setup haha i didnt end up using the 2 satellite anyway so using it as 5.1

Got an Onkyo surround system back in 1998 and receiver is still my primary driver for my living room surround. Agree with previous comments regarding quality and longevity of Onkyo, although build quality could have changed.
