I bought my ONKYO about three years ago as an open box clearance from a well known chain store with a massive discount. It was repaired by ONKYO under warranty for the much publicised no sound issue, which recurred about six months ago. As it was now out of warranty they were not interested in further repair or replacement despite a protracted complaint.
I had the HDMI board professionally reflowed which worked, for about six to eight weeks after which it started to to fail again, intermittantly at first but has now failed totally. No sound or speaker matrix display.
I've decided to cut my losses and put it down to experience. I will take it to the range next weekend and use it as target practice but in the meantime I need a replacement and would be interested in any reccomendations.
I've always had Yamaha before and loved them dearly. When pro-logic came out I had the DSPA 2070 replaced by a DSP-A1 when we went digital. I still use the A1 as a stereo amp in the summer house but bought the ONKYO due to the need for HDMI inputs/outputs.
I am looking for 7.x channel or higher and minimum 5 hdmi inputs. Alexa or voice control would be good, DAB would be nice but not essential. Good sound quality is essential.
Speakers are B&W CDM9 NT's on the mains and KEF HTS on the centre and effects channels.
Happy to hear any suggestions.
