Regardless if you decide to buy this particular unit or not, one KEY specification you should locate prior to purchase with any home "A/V type" Receiver:

Bolded effect added by me for emphasis -

Power output (All channels):

200 W/Ch (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD,1-ch driven)

90 W/Ch (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.08% THD,
2-ch driven, FTC)

Hope this information is insightful / helpful.
Would you mind explaining why these are important?

Avoid buying Onkyo or Pioneer UNLESS you buy it from Costco where you can return it years later if it breaks down (and it will). Both Onkyo and Pioneer are usually great deals for the sound and features they give you, you'll love it... until it breaks out of nowhere. You've been warned. In general, I wouldn't buy any receiver unless it's from Costco.

I had bought this device from Costco last thanks giving and two days back it failed - got stuck by their infamous blue screen issue (Google it) - returned to Costco for a refund and bought another one - though the device is good and this is super deal but think twice before you pull the trigger.

I have the same receiver from Costco and it's been pretty good over all. Here are some reactions of mine:

Power: Is completely adequate and far more than what most people would ever need. I have owned many receivers, including Pioneer Elite models that could sustain well over 100 watts per channel all channels driven at less than 1% THD. This spec simply doesn't matter much for anyone who is using a subwoofer as the majority of power used for music and movies reproduction is in lower bass frequencies. This is why brands like Monoprice and SVS make subwoofers with 500 or more watts of clean continuous power.

Auto EQ: Good for setting distances and relative levels but that's about it. I had to manually adjust the subwoofer level, disable the auto-EQ profile, and hand-tune my own EQ settings using REW and a measurement mic. The Auto EQ setting produced a very boomy subwoofer and hollow male/female vocals.

Other features: I use the Spotify feature sometimes, especially when I'm home alone and I want to listen to my music *LOUD*, but that's about it. CEC synchronized on/off seems to work off and on depending on the firmware update version. CEC is a hot mess so I don't know if it's the TV (Sony) or the receiver. Luckily, eARC seems to work well. The input/output assignments and configs are fairly flexible and about what you'd expect from a modern receiver.

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this receiver considering the price. It's certainly more than enough for most people setting up a home theater system. Spend your money on a good subwoofer - it's going to make a huge difference.

Hows this compare to the Denon AVR-S760H?

I LOVE this unit. I've had it for about a year now. The sound quality and features are awesome! I wish I could have gotten this price. This has plenty of power. I have Klipsch Ref 82's and I can't get close to putting the volume to maximum. No distortion that I can tell.

I had 2 Onkyo receivers in the past and they didn't last long. I am not recommending that brand!

Amazon is currently $349. Will watch to see if it drops further. Prefer to buy from them due to easier returns.

Klipsch speakers are (generally) "horn loaded" which are, more often times than not, very efficient.

The more efficient speakers are the LESS ACTUAL POWER THEY REQUIRE to reach high/er volumes.

So while this unit may have sufficient power for your speakers, in your space, it may be woefully underpowered in many other use cases (bigger rooms, less efficient speaker sets in use), etc.

To clarify I'm not against OR for this specific unit or any specific unit, I'm just trying to provide an informed groundwork for folks from which they are able to make more informed purchasing decisions relevant to home theater, speakers, receivers, amplifiers, etc.

Versus, just buy what has worked for someone else that is on a super sale or clearance or whatever, only to potentially be pretty confused when the result doesn't match the expectation or worse, the actual intended need.

Many of these receivers are marketed with certain specific "specs" because the manufactures tend to understand what current "buyers" say they are looking for when purchasing a new A/V Receiver. Which typically includes something along the lines of "more power = more better and more channels = more better".

So those specific specs are achieved through creative copywriting and marketing while the reality is, the receiver is NOT in fact as powerful as those specs are "suggesting" and the big, bolded specs the manufacturer is so proud of displaying is only for one or two channels of the FIVE or SEVEN or more channels on the receiver.

It's in the small type and that type is small for a reason, because if consumers knew and were educated on what they were actually getting vs what they THOUGHT they were getting, they may make a different purchasing decision.

Hi Folks, is it possible to connect a passive sub woofer to this model? Have an Onkyo passive sub woofer. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/255870741155)
TIA.

It's perfectly fine. Speakers draw power from an amp. Amps don't force feed power to speakers.
It better to have too much power than not enough.
Good to know. Thanks

I've been looking to upgrade my aging TX-SR608 for quite awhile due to is inability to pass through 4K content, but I've never really understood all of the specs on these receivers, despite owning several over the past couple decades. Can anyone tell me if this would be an upgrade or a downgrade given these specs taken from the TX-SR608 manual?
