![]() The receiver is very heavy (good sign of a good receiver). It seems pretty bare but everything else including speakers and speaker cables should come with the speaker packages or bought separately. ![]() The items included the AV receiver itself with power cable, FM and AM antenna and cable, remote control (RC-764M) with batteries and the Audyssey microphone. Packed with foam inserts to prevent it from moving and manuals, cables and other paperworks were placed in cavities where there was space to put them. The box it was shipped in was fairly standard. The remainder of the article is all about the Onkyo TX-SR508 Contents ![]() There was also the packaged sets which included HT-S3305 and HT-S3306 but decided against the option due to availability and the passive bass included.Īlas I settled for the SR508 as you could tell from the title of this post. I was looking at Onkyo TX-SR578 and TS-SR608 but ruled out the 608 due to it’s higher price. There were out of date receivers and display units which were on sale for full price.

They have a AV room which was refurbished few months back and it’s the best set up I have seen! The room had all the receivers, speakers and TV / projector hooked up to one system. I was fortunate to a Currys Mega Store even though it’s not advertised as one. ![]() A lot of them do offer the Blu Ray / DVD cinema package but they are never on par with separates or separates combined in a package deal. It’s shocking how many electronic high street stores that do not carry audio gear. Overall the experience of researching AV receivers was fairly easy but actually finding them to purchase was whole new can of worms. This is a good time to note that I am not and audiophile but I do appreciate a good setup. Being my first home system it was going to be on a budget. I wanted a separated surround sound set up because it modularises the “home cinema system” rather than going with a Blu Ray / DVD cinema system where the speakers are tied to the player which has a built in receiver. ![]()
