Customer Review

After a long multichannel abstinence I have again indulged in a 5.0 configuration to a pure stereo configuration, the TX-NR636 is the centerpiece. I put a lot of emphasis on a clean stereo sound and was naturally very curious to see if the Onkyo can at least approximately rankommen my Accuphase. And he can! And how! I run the Onkyo with 2x Magnat Quantum 807 (plus center and rears from the same series) and unlock natural for music in pure stereo mode. The Onkyo is at, as everywhere else too, gesoundet, in principle distorts the original sound easy. But this he does with an absolutely heavenly dynamics! Purists, however, can switch to Direct mode, where the input signal is output as faithfully as possible. Also since a good piece does not disappoint and supplied my hungry tower speaker with enough power.

A great feature is also the phase matching bass. In my case, this feature makes a lot of sense, because I have a pretty suboptimal acoustics and enriches this option frequencies that would otherwise get lost quickly in my premises.

In multi-channel operation's are dynamic in their ears, restraint does not know the NR636! Spatiality and presence are outstanding, after a short calibration of speakers the location of sound sources is fascinating precisely.

As for features and connectivity, displays one of Onkyo sometimes directly, where the frog has the curls, actually, he can do everything ... Except for AirPlay for Apple. Can I get over good on my part, because I run media streaming over a NAS server or directly via DLNA streame.

Very strong buy recommendation for music lovers and film buffs! Thank Onkyo!
