I bought the receiver becasue my Kenwood finally gave up the ghost. This was used so I had my doubts about condition. Once I received it and istalled into my HT set up, I was shocked to hear the difference between this Onkyo and my Kenwood. The wattage was less per channel but the sound is much clearer and crisper. The features took a while to figure out but once completed, the receiver is great. Tons of inputs for any setup.
