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.

God damnit. I got burned hard by a bad HDMI board from Onkyo years ago. It was a giant recall that the old heads in here will remember. But for this price I'm thinking of rolling the dice again. SMH I'll never learn.

Slim to none.

This is the cheapest I've ever seen this receiver.

What could be good speakers for these? Mostly for TV, we have Vizio 5.1 soundbar with subwoofer and 2 satellite speakers, its good but it keeps turning off on its own after say few hours.
If you or someone doesnt want to break the bank, then for starters Monoprice 10565 or the one that has 5.1.2 with atmos speakers would be good. Decent and good quality sound for $100-150.

Same for Jamo 5.1 set that is usually around 150$ range.

Personally I am big fan of Monoprice 10565 which has been running great for 10 years or so. It didnt have Atmos at that time but its an awesome make aka energy classic copy from several years back. You cant go wrong with it.

I would suggest skipping this.
For your needs you are paying for things you don't need.

I suggest looking for a used receiver and speakers.
So many people doing what you did, switched to a soundbar.
They get rid of decent good speakers.
Same holds true for receivers.

You will end up with much better equipment at much cheaper cost.

What Does Ohm Rating Mean in Speakers?
An ohm is a unit of electrical resistance. When used in speakers, it refers to a speaker's resistance to an amplifier's power. This resistance, also known as impedance, affects a speaker's sound quality; thus, when purchasing a speaker, the ohm rating is a crucial factor for consideration.

Generally, there are 2, 4, and 8-ohm speakers. If the resistance is high, the sound will be better, crispier, and cleaner. However, the 4-ohm is the prevalent one. The more resistance or impedance, the less power you need, while the lower the ohm, the more power you need.

Why Does Ohm Matter in a Speaker?
In speakers, ohms are vital because they affect sound quality and loudness (loudness is measured in decibels). To get louder without producing distortion, you need to find speakers with higher impedance ratings than those with lower ratings.

On the other hand, if you want to preserve clarity at high or low frequencies while getting the most volume possible out of your system, go for speakers with lower impedances. This means the lower the impedance, the more the current flows, and the greater the load, which means increased power.Similarly, the higher the impedance, the lower the current flow and load, leading to decreased power.

Ultimately, the ohm rating in a speaker matters because it helps match speakers with the right amp capacity.

What Are the Standard Ohm Ratings, and How Do They Affect Speakers?
The standard ohm rating for most speakers tends to fall between 4 and 8 ohms, though some higher-end speakers can have higher ratings. This rating affects speakers and determines the sound quality.

For example, a 2-ohm speaker will allow more current flow and load, thus using more power than a higher-rated one. As such, you should always match your amplifier to your speaker in terms of ohm ratings.

You want to ensure that your amplifier's power rating equals or exceeds that of your speakers. Keep in mind that the impedance of a speaker determines its power rating, and you need to understand this concept when choosing speakers and amplifiers for your sound system.
The lower the impedance number, the more power can be outputted from an amplifier before overloading it. Therefore, low-impedance (4-8 ohms) speakers need powerful amps with high wattage levels.

High-impedance (8-16 ohms) speakers are easier on their respective amps since they aren't as demanding. However, they have lower sensitivity ratings than low-impedance models (i.e., less loud) (at the same power).

that is a partial answer with some not so correct information. the ohm rating (resistance) is not a single number value. it varies based on frequency and can have very wild swings in impedance. it is not unusual to see swings of 10X in impedance value across the frequency range. see attached measurements.

Had to pull the trigger. BEen running a Denon 1513 from an all in one box for years. Got the Klipsch reference pack from Costco a few years ago. Will be glad to finally have a receiver that I can run everything through instead of having $K stuff go to TV then receiver. Also hoping to consolidate my set up by using this for back porch speakers instead of a hidden stereo receiver.

Just purchased this, 299 is a steal for a receiver with these specs/power. Seems like Onkyo wised up and installed fans/heatsinks on their recent models so I am hoping this thing doesn't crap out in a year or two.

You are 100% and I agree completely. I'll also add that the vast majority of speakers, headphones, amps, preamps all are rated in ohms, and almost exclusively to a whole value, fixed number: i.e. 4, 6, 8, 16, etc.

In my experience these can be fairly challenging concepts to grasp for people and so I prefer to lean on the companies in the audio and audio equipment space and how they define these things in their literature vs trying to explain and teach complex concepts in my own words and failing even more miserably.

My intent was to provide enough information to inform and not overwhelm the person so they may be able to discern for themselves which specific information applies to their question.

I just don't subscribe at all to the approach that is: Go here, buy these, and accept as the best, great/awesome/acceptable etc.

Agreed, this is a concept that many people fail to grasp. There is no standardization of the impedance rating among manufacturers which makes the reported values difficult to interpret.

Request advice- I have Monoprice 5.1.2 speakers. Manual says, max speaker input of 100W.

Will this receiver with 200W per channel output work with speakers I have?

Thank you.
Check on back of speaker if it's 8ohms compatible. Should be listed. 8 ohms independence its 90watts a channel so switch the switch on the back of reciever to 8 ohms instead of 6 and you'll be fine with higher quality sound too

Just read the specs. It's HDMI 2.1a, which supports 120hz, variable refresh rate, etc. It'll work great with either PS5 or Xbox Series X.

Dang this or the new Denon AVR-S970H 7.2 deal for 379? I just bought this Onkyo but it seems like the Denon might be a more reliable product??

This is a great price. I think I paid $400 and it was worth every penny. I have mine set up with 7.1 and it's pretty amazing with movies and gaming (especially ps5).
how long have you had this for? Any overheating issues?
