Onkyo NR-5007

[cindyj3739]

Has anyone bought this receiver? I am leaning towards the 5007 for its features and its price. I have heard from one person from AVS forum and he really is happy. Let me know your thoughts. I did check out the upcoming Intregra which I believe is the DTR-80 model and it seems to be identical in specs to the Onkyo.

If I needed one I would likely have bought this one. I bet this thing is going to be the most powerful receiver and feature rich at its price point ($2500). I am not sure if Onkyo AV receivers are as reliable as comparable Denon/Yamaha products and it will likely run quite hot. You may want give it lots of room to breathe, and may be add a little CPU fan to help cool it down for better longevity.

I own the 1007 and love it to death. It does get a little warm, but not too bad. The hottest I have seen it get is 99*, it has a built in thermostat to read the temp.

The Onkyo TX-NR5007 is probably the best BANG for the buck.

Only time will tell about it's longetivity and durability, but I'm prepare to bet on it.

If it only gets to 99 (assuming it is deg F) there must be an internal fan that kicks in early.

I think Onkyo finally got in with the cooling system.
