Well, there doesn't seem to be one, so thought I'd create one!
When my last Onkyo died, just out of warranty, I decided not to buy another, and bought the award winning Denon X 2500h blind, simply based on the reviews, and whilst initially happy with it on films, when I came to play music on it (especially multi channel music) there was something missing, detail that I heard on the Onkyo simply wasn't there, and no amount of experimenting with the settings would bring that detail back.
So, returned it and got the 686,and after a simple set up and a few tweaks, all the detail and clarity on music was back.
I've yet to play around with the THX settings, will have a go with them at the weekend.
Whilst I don't think the Onkyo is as well built as the Denon (which did have a reassuring quality feel to it) and may lack a few bells and whistles, sound wise it's definitely the one for me, and that's what matters.
Anyone else feeling the love for this receiver?
