Onkyo TX-NR3030 11.2-Ch Dolby Atmos Ready Network A/V Receiver

[Steve Pitbull Potenziano]

Here we have the the new Onkyo 11.2 3020 Atmos AVR with a MSPR of $2,399. It is their top of the line AVR. So what are your impressions of this AVR? would you line to get one or is it to steep of a price for you?

I said no because I prefer separates.

The power specs are interesting because they are willing to post them:

160 W (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7%, 2 channels driven, FTC)
Dynamic Power 300 W (3 ohms, Front)
250 W (4 ohms, Front)
150 W (8 ohms, Front)
THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise) 0.08% (20 Hz-20 kHz, Half power)
Damping Factor 60 (Front, 1 kHz, 8 ohms)

When considering amps, I like to see max distortion, where many quote it at full or in this case half power.
The Damping factor at 60 is reduced when driving hard to drive loads and low frequency damping is missing.

This is a powerful AVR amp and Onkyo posts more data than most.

I can say that the Yamaha has a better power rating and is almost 700$ cheaper. But its what you what you want to pay for.

I don't know of any current Yamaha model that has a stronger power supply (transformer/capacitor rating) than this Onkyo. Power ratings can be confusing and/or deceiving as there are many ways to specify them. It is also hard to believe Yamaha can be that much cheaper. In fact, from past experience, if you compare models that are similar in features and "power rating", I would think Onkyo are typically cheaper.

I find the output terminals looking a little cheap but it is hard to say from the photo. Also, without Audyssey, no thanks. Overall, I would still prefer Denon, Marantz and Yamaha's equivalent models.

LOL.

I say "NO" because it's ONKYO.

Dropping Audyssey XT32 was also a huge mistake.
