## Description

Onkyo best-selling THX integrated system HTiB has been rebooted to take entertainment to the next level. Inside the carton you'll find everything needed for a theater-reference experience at home complete with Dolby Atmos and DTS: x reproduction. Exhaustive bench testing, meanwhile, has guaranteed high power and precise speaker control, while premium D/a conversion unlocks Hi-Res audio using Onkyo controller to select network files.

Review: Great home theatre in a box system - Honestly, it sounds great for a HTB system, and audio is a lot more clear, and bass is a lot more tight than a budget speaker system. By tight, I mean it sounds less like a big "thump" and more like an actual sound from a song or movie. Be prepared for a big subwoofer. 12 inches doesn't sound like a lot on paper, but the sub itself is just a bit smaller than a mini fridge, which was somewhat surprising. (Its about the size of 2-3 printers). Setup was easy, and although my first unit was defective, AVLGear has stellar customer support. Overall, if you find building your own system daunting, this is a pretty great boxed system, and I love it! (The monitor in the picture is a 27 inch monitor, for reference.)
Review: This system will definitely surprise you! - I've had this system for a little over a year now so I thought it was enough time to give it a review. No problems after a year, everything is still working great. I would recommend this system to the average person that want's a great sounding surround sound system at a great price who isn't some audio file. This isn't for someone that pays thousand of dollars for speaker systems but for the average person this is going to blow you away. When I turn this thing up, the walls, doors and windows are all shaking. It's crazy how loud this system gets and it sounds great too! I strongly recommend this system.

### ⭐ DOA and I am supposed to pay?
*by C***. on September 29, 2019*

My receiver did not work out of the box. I tried to make it work but it would only display "NG:LCR". I talked to support and they said I would need to send it in for repair and according to them: "Please note that you will be responsible for the shipping costs to get the unit to the service center however as a courtesy Onkyo will cover the return shipping costs." So after going to the UPS store and buying a big enough box for $25 i saw that it was going to be a minimum of $75 to ship back to them. So I need to pay $100 to fix their mistake?!? I might as well buy a new receiver from a better company and put this one in the trash where it belongs. Onkyo, you should not make your customers pay for your mistakes.
