Leviton AEH50-WH Architectural Edition Powered By JBL 5-Channel Surround Sound Home Cinema Speaker System, White









Product Description

When specifications call for both audio performance and installation flexibility, Leviton and JBL have teamed up to create a unique solution: the AEH50 Surround-Sound Home Cinema Speaker System with 100 Watt Powered Subwoofer. Based on the same technologies and features that made JBL the speaker of choice for film recording professionals and movie theater designers, the AEH50 engineers them into an easy-to-live-with form factor that works in any living and listening environment.

The System is a 5-channel surround-sound package that can easily be upgraded to 6- and 7-channel operation for 6.1 or 7.1 surround-sound operation with the optional matched AESS5 Expansion Satellite Speaker. The system uses standard audio wiring topology, with satellites connected directly to the AV receiver's speaker terminals and the subwoofer system connected to the receiver's SUB OUT or LFE OUT jacks. The AEH50 is compatible with the full range of surround, speaker and EQ modes available in today's AV receivers.

4Great sound, but only an 8" sub
By Evan
This setup sounds great. I purchased it to use in my recently finished 3 stall garage. It puts out plenty of sound for the 725sqft area. The only thing that I didn't like is that amazon advertised this setup as coming with a 10" sub, but it is only 8". That being said, the 8" sub puts out enough bass for my use, and it's only turned up half way. For the price you can't beat a setup like this with a quality name like JBL.

By miragecub
Got A Great Deal On This System Thru Amazon. I was looking for A White Surround System and this fit the Bill . I was pleasantly surprised to hear how well these sound hooked up to my YAMAHA RX-V737 RECEIVER All I needed is 100 FT. of speaker wire and I was set to go. Everything sounds good on this system from VINYL to DVD'S to INTERNET RADIO to TV. Does not sound Tinny for such A small speaker, and the subwoofer sounds perfect for movie watching . Will enjoy for many years to come.

5Awesome
By Rev.JP
After a bad experience, settling for a cheaper AV receiver and speakers. I upgraded, and did my homework...I research for about six months talking to sound installers, professional sound guys, and even into commercial stuff. I wanted a premium sound with quality not just quantity...But still wanted quantity. The Bose sound great in the store and descent in my friends house. But having been recommended by the guys who are using and installing they said, for the money you can't go wrong with the JBL. Still a little sceptical I ordered the 5.1 first to make sure I would like it. Dude! I installed ran the wires and none are visible. Most people that come into the room don't notice the little black boxes and the sub is tucked out of the way in a corner. I totally shakes my 2200 sqft home it is awesome. Clear voices, impeccable sound detail with music, and great for movies. You know the first part of the movie every guy loves with the surround sound in the Theater! Yeah that quality. It is Awesome... I ordered two more speakers to complete my 7.1 surround sound...Imagine that. Do your research get what you like, but from one every day joe to another, you can't beat the quality for the price.

Product performs well in it's price range. Easy to assemble/configure. Audio response is very good considering the size. Perfect solution for limited space or for those looking for a small profile yet versatile unit. Would rate this unit a 5 if the audio range were larger.

2Sound is tinny
By The Wolf
Purchased because of the design options and the existing sound on my tv was tinny. It does not come with a remote as it works through your tv with ARC if you have it. I only note that because it isn't listed on the package and seems important. That said, got the whole thing set up and working and the sound that came out wasn't any better than my existing tv sound. It's just tinny. Voice sounds like it is coming from a box and I felt no benefit from the subwoofer. I liked the design and the idea, but the sound just wasn't strong or full enough.

Product Details

  • Amazon Sales Rank: #173987 in Consumer Electronics
  • Brand: Yamaha

Features

  • Digital Sound Projector Technology applies the sophisticated technology to precisely control the orientation of the sound by focusing it through multiple beams. The center channel sound is heard directly, while sounds from other channels are heard after reflecting off walls. The result is true multi-channel surround sound that sounds just like a multi-speaker system - but without the need for all those extra speakers!
  • IntelliBeam Automated System Calibration ensures optimum multi-channel sound reproduction with accurate image location. By monitoring & analyzing the sound with the included microphone, IntelliBeam automatically sets the best beam angles, while optimizing the level & frequency response of each beam. This makes initial setup extremely simple & acoustically perfect. / UniVolume maintains a consistent volume level between different channels, programs, commercials & input sources.
  • Designed for High Quality Sound With a built-in 132W digital amplifier that efficiently drives all channels, an aluminum body that damps vibrations, precision sound tuning & optimum subwoofer matching, this delivers 7.1-channel surround sound with outstanding clarity & linearity. The design is more elegant & less obtrusive than multiple speaker boxes. When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format, the frequency response suffers. Music Enhancer restores the true quality that was lost.
  • Low Profile & Height Adjustable, only 3 1/8" high, you can place it in front of any flat screen TV without blocking the picture. The height-adjustable feet let you achieve optimum positioning. The feet can also be removed, reducing the height of the speaker to only 2". The powerful yet slim subwoofer can be used vertically or horizontally, so you can place it inside or outside a rack. The sound has been tuned to perfectly match.
  • Receiver = A high performance 5.1 channel AV Receiver with HD Audio decoding, 1080p-compatible HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel (4 in/1 out), iPod/iPhone and Bluetooth compatibility, Cinema DSP and SCENE buttons. A USB iPod connecting cable is included.

KEF KHT3005BL (SE) 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System (Gloss Black)









Product Description

The KEF KHT3005 (SE) 5.1 home theater speaker system is an extremely high performance, yet room-friendly home theater system, which raises both the design and performance benchmarks in the category of elegant home theater speaker packages. KEF's patented "sit anywhere" Uni-Q driver configuration places the tweeter in the acoustic center of the bass/midrange cone. This creates a single focused audio source that disperses the sound image evenly throughout the room so that everyone enjoys the full richness of music or movie soundtracks. The Uni-Q array in the 3000 series has a completely new design which performs better than ever. Instead of having identical center and satellite speakers like other systems, KEF's created a stunning new dedicated center channel that gives dialogue more weight and clarity delivering cinema-like frontal impact. KEF also added a radical new high performance powered subwoofer. As a system, it certainly puts the 'live' into living room.

5Super Sound
By Scotty
Following a "test listen" I had to have these great-sounding speakers. The KEFs replace an Infinity TSS-1200 system in my home theater. Driven by an Onkyo 805 receiver, the sound is noticeably better. The bass is clear, solid, and avoids the "boomy" sound of many subs. Mids and highs are solid with smooth transients. The speakers handle high volume levels without apparent strain or distortion. Special effects on TrueHD sound tracks rock. Music brings out subtleties that were previously lacking. Sound-wise, the KEFs can't be beat in their price range.These speakers are beautifully constructed. The satellites and center channel are of solid aluminum construction with an immaculate black painted surface. They feel as hefty as they sound. I do wish that the mounting system allowed for easier use of standard speaker stands. On the other hand, KEFs solution is elegant in its simplicity. The accessory stands are solid, easy to use, and unobtrusive. Speaker connection is limited to bare or tinned wire. No provision is made for spades or banana plugs. I have to admit that the resulting connections are also unobtrusive -- almost handsome. The sub is similarly different and handsome. It is much smaller than competing units and garners positive comments from visitors. Connection is limited to one RCA LFE connection and controls to stand-by status and a three-position bass boost selection. Crossover frequency and volume must be set in the receiver menu -- not a problem with the 805, but some receivers don't have that option. This is the most I've ever spent for home theater speakers, but it's a decision I would make again and again. If you're on the fence about these speakers -- jump right in. The sound is GREAT!

3Warranty Issue
By JFR
I will not comment on how good this system is, how well it is packaged, or how perfect the black is matching the gloss of a flat screen. Over reviewers did that nicely.Only reason for this review, is that one of the speaker of the system went bad, and that KEF does not cover it under warranty. The reason given was that even if the system was purchase from Amazon, it was sold by an unauthorized vendor.The bill is not too bad (estimate $100 to replace the Uni-Q driver), but I will recommend future buyer to make sure to order from authorized dealer even on amazon.com (should say "Sold by Amazon" on check out).Also review the warranty terms and condition as they are pretty strict (as the system will only be covered if ordered new from 4 e-tailers or local retailer).Other than that, I am pretty happy about this purchase.

5Kef 3005s
By Jonathan Perry
After using a pair of KEF 304s (30 years old!) with a pair of JBL bookshelf speakers, a Bose center speaker and a Polk Audio sub with a Sony 600w as my home theater setup, I decided to go the matched route. I read the reviews, looked at Sat systems like the Bose and the Mirage Omnisats, but settled on the KEFs (30 years with my last pair!!). What a great decision. I matched them up with a Yamaha RX-V663BL and did a rough setup (they go up on the walls later). What a great sound, and they are only roughly dialed-in. My room is about 13x28 and they just fill it with multi-directional sound. And what clean sound it is (they don't call KEFs reference speakers for nothing). Plenty of bass, clean mids, and nice bright (but not harsh) highs. I have the DTS version of Goldeneye on right now, and it is really swooping around the room plus bouncing me on the couch with its bass effects. I highly recommend this system!

4Read this for insights into the product and Bose customer service
By K. McAllister
I am a Vine reviewer, and often receive products before their release to the public. This Bose Solo TV Sound System is one of these products.I received this sound system with no knowledge of what it really is. No expectations, except that it a Bose product, so I had an expectation that it'd be quality.Upon receipt, the unit did not work properly. I contacted Bose directly and they were AMAZING. They immediately sent me out a new one, and explained that the product is still in beta-testing. (They were surprised that I received the product so early before its release.) I sent back the old one, and they told me that it had old software on it (pre-release). No worries on it being in the official-product. The second one had the same problem (since they sent out the second before they got the first back, they didn't realize that the stock was of old software). No problem--Bose sent out another. The rep that I worked with (they assign you one person to talk to--a real, live person who emails you back immediately if you have a question) was GREAT. He checked on me to be sure it was working properly, and answered all questions I had promptly.So, for customer service, Bose ROCKS! I would have no problem doing business with them in the future, knowing that they care this much about making things right.(This is as opposed to a review I did for LG, where they couldn't care less when their product had failures--they were going to charge me to even check it out...even when I told them that I am a Vine reviewer and their customer service would be on my review...some companies couldn't care less.)So, to the details of my system:I have an LG 3D HDTV (http://www.amazon.com/LG-55LM7600-55-Inch-LED-LCD-Glasses/dp/B006ZH0M9Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1345651587&sr=8-4&keywords=lg+55+inch+hdtv) and run a Sony Blue Ray Player (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BDP-S590-Blue-ray-Player-Built/dp/B0081SJP7W/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1345651686&sr=1-7&keywords=3d+blu+ray+player+sony). I use low-loss optical audio cables (http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Digital-Optical-Audio-Toslink/dp/B001TH7GSW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345651814&sr=8-1&keywords=optical+audio+cable+amazon).The set up was simple. Plug it into the wall outlet, plug it into the tv (use the optical audio!)...well, lah. It's ready. If your tv needs a manual change to the external audio, be sure you know where that is. My tv had an automatic switch to any external audio outlet. I had to do nothing to switch it.I have run this speaker through all sorts of testing. News programs, Movies, Music stations, using all sorts of sound bands.Here's what I found:Speech: (This is my favorite part of the speaker, and deserves lots of attention.) I have a hearing problem in that I have trouble understanding speech coming from television speakers. My television has an option that amps up the voice, which I thought helped a lot...until I plugged in this Bose speaker. Suddenly, the voices were crisp and clear! It was clearer than "life", in my opinion. I believe that this is the best feature of this speaker...When I compared it to the sound from the tv (with the voice-feature turned on) it was night and day. (And here I thought that it was so good with the voice feature from the tv...not so much, now.)Comedy (with canned-laughter): As I said earlier, the speech is clear, and the balance is such that the canned-laughter is not overpowering. Great quality, especially when you compare it to the tv's internal speaker.Movies (with lots of bass--bombs, car chases, etc): The speech is great (have I mentioned that before? haha) but the lower end seems to be lacking a bit. Not in comparison with the tv. The tv didn't get it, either...but compared to the separate receiver and subwoofer, it does lack in the bass range. I didn't notice this as much as the people watching with me...yeah, it was the guys--they like that bomb-stuff :)Music: Same issue as the movies. Music channels, like XM or Sirius, have a great lack in bass. The music crispness and treble are great--but the bass is lacking. Obviously, you don't want to make your tv the primary outsource for your music enjoyment, but this deserves to be noted. Again, comparing it side-by-side with the tv, the sound is spectacular (but both lack the bass of the receiver).Pros: Voice, clarity, real-life feel to all sounds. Simplicity of set up and use. Simple remote control (has only 3 buttons--Power, Volume Up, Volume Down). Looks nice on the table...but this is also a "con".Cons: Lack of ability to change settings on bass/treble. Big box on the table instead of a wall mount.So--the bottom line is this: If you are using this speaker as it is intended, which is to replace your tv's internal speaker, then it's AMAZING. If you think it will be a replacement for all of your outlets, including music listening, you might be disappointed.

5Perfect for people who want improved TV sound without installing a complex system
By Penumbra
Although I have a nice Sony Bravia TV, the sound can be a little...disappointing. This is especially noticeable when we watch BluRay versions of movies like "A Bridge Too Far" or "The Battle of Britan" - the TV begins to vibrate and buzz when the planes fly over. However, not being an overall audiophile, I had no desire to install a surround sound system with five speakers. I was looking into getting a sound bar when I discovered the Bose Solo TV Sound System.The Bose Solo is a single box, roughly the size of a standard DVD / BluRay player; the dimensions are 10.25" x 20"; the TV is placed on top of the Bose Solo. Not having to find additional shelf or floor space for the speaker is definitely a plus! According to the package, this is designed for TVs up to 32" and in some cases up to 42". The base of the TV must not overhang the Bose Solo, or else the TV may be unstable and fall. However, the base of my 46" TV fits on top of the speaker box with room to spare.There is a very small, thin, flat remote control that comes with the Bose Solo - ON, UP, DOWN, PAUSE/OFF. According to the Operating Guide the unit can be operated with a Universal Remote as well. But since I don't have a Universal Remote, I will have to add another remote to the growing collection on the coffee table.Hooking up the Bose Solo was simple once I located the corresponding jack on the back of the TV. There are only two connections to make - 1) the power cord, and 2) either the analog (red and white jacks) or optical digital audio cable. The optical digital cable is recommended for best sound quality, so I wanted to use that - but had no previous experience with this type of cable. The ends of the optical digital cables have protective plastic shields which must be removed before installation, and they are fairly small. It took me some time to find the optical digital cable jack on the back of my TV. I was finally able to locate it when I turned off some of the lights in the room, and then I saw the red light coming from the optical jack! The connections on the back of the Bose Solo are well labeled and easy to find.Once the TV and the Bose Solo were connected, I turned on the new box and heard some kind of distorted sound echo. A quick trip to the troubleshooting FAQ in the operating guide informed me that the TV sound should either be disabled or the volume turned all the way down. Once I disabled the TV sound, the sound coming from the Bose Solo took over.My personal testing included turning the Bose up to full volume. The sound filled the room and in fact could be heard quite nicely from other rooms, too. I put in my go to BluRay, "The Battle of Britan" - no distortion, no vibration, no hum. (The lack of vibration is even more impressive when you consider this rather large TV is balanced on the speaker itself!) I also listened to music from classical to metal and everything sounded beautiful! I then went back and forth between the sound from the Bose Solo and the sound from the Sony Bravia only - the Bose definitely has a richer sound with more bass; the TV now sounds a bit tinny by comparison. The TV volume can be cranked up higher, but the higher it goes the more distortion and vibration come through - the Bose certainly cranks up high enough to fill a room (and possibly the entire house) and there is no distortion. Although the Bose instructions explicitly state that the TV volume should be OFF, I also experimented with the Bose Solo and bringing up the TV volume to just under the point where echo kicks in, and thought that sounded great, too!The bottom line is that while the Bose Solo won't take the place of Surround Sound, it greatly improves the experience of watching TV and movies with a richer sound quality than the TV alone and no distortion or vibration. Since it's a single box that fits under the TV base, it doesn't take up additional space on the shelf or floor. It's very easy to install - add the power cable to the wall and the audio cable to the TV, and you're done!Highly recommended!

5Bose Rocks! WOW! Incredible sound and super easy setup!
By Gadget Queen
I was skeptical at first, but ordered the solo anyway (directly from Bose, same price as Amazon, but financing available). I was pleasantly surprised and amazed! Having been actively looking for a home theater system for some time, I was delighted with the solo sound system. What I experienced was NO BASS DISTORTION WHATSOEVER! Full, even-bodied sound. Highs not too high, lows just right, sound clarity amazing, and room-filling sound.After the easy connection and turning the unit on (and turning my TV speakers off), the solo tv sound system made my TV sound so realistic it literally brought me out of my chair! From the first moment the solo was turned on, I was immersed in music (classical DirectTV channel) to the point I could distinguish between violins and violas (not easy when listening on regular TV speakers). The highs were crisp and the bass was not overpowering so as to vibrate the entire room (and distort the sound). Everything was crisp, vibrant, full-toned, well-balanced, and a pleasure to listen to! TV shows were even better! Dialog was clearer than with the regular TV speakers, and the system added a real depth to the TV watching experience. DEFINITELY worth the price! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! I kept switching between the TV speakers and the solo to get a comparison, and there is NO comparison! The Solo is an excellent system!As a consumer, I wanted a home theater system, but did not want the high expense and all the extra boxes for the extra speakers all over the room. Nor did I want the wires or the wireless setup. When I set up the solo it was only 2 connections: to the electricity and to the television. Boom, done, finis. It can't get any easlier or simpler than that! The price was just right, and compared to other systems listed at much higher prices, the sound was either equal to or surpassed what I had heard before from those other systems (which, obviously, I did not purchase).I have owned other Bose products over the years (Bose Wave, Bose iPod Travel Speaker, Bose home stereo speakers), and the quality is ALWAYS top-notch! Same for their Customer Service. The Solo is a fine addition to an already great product line-up by Bose. They really know sound quality! Congratulations Bose! You have a real winner with this sound system!GET THIS SYSTEM. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! For me, it was love at first sound!

5Superb Value..Features.. Performance!
By HomeTheaterFan
My experience with the Onkyo 707 has been a pure pleasure. I endorse it wholeheartedly.It is being used in my home theater. I think it is very important that I spend a moment describing my theater room's dimensions and speaker set up in order that you, the reader, determine whether my experience with the Onkyo is likely to be yours as well, should you be considering purchasing this particular receiver.My home theater is approximately 14 x 8 x 18.5 feet; this means the Onkyo must power about 2070 cubic feet. The speaker system is 7.1 ; a Snell E center channel with matching front L/R Snell E speakers. They are of fairly normal sensitivity. The side and rear surrounds are modest JBL's. The powered subwoofer is also JBL . The room is drywalled, heavily draped and carpeted. All electronic equipment is placed in a rack room and controlled by IR repeaters.Previously, the theater room employed a Pioneer THX 5.1 receiver, model VSX 37 TX. Its sonic performance was ok, doing much better a few years ago with the assistance of two Adcom amplifiers, this necessary to power a 7.1 system and to insure necessary power for the front speakers. It was considered, in its day, fairly high end. It did not have DVI or HDMI inputs/outputs. As time passed, it became clear that the Pioneer could not do justice to the increasing audio capacities within the newer , various DVD and Blu-Ray movies being added to my library.And so I began to read about the current receiver market, and read of others' experiences with this receiver, as well as of competing models in the Onkyo 707's price range. This was my first Onkyo.Price:Listing for $899, it has been available in the range of $479-799 since Thanksgiving 2009. Watch and time your purchase carefully here on amazon! I do wish to emphasize that Amazon has consistently been very competitive in price. And it was Amazon from whom I decided to purchase the 707. It arrived timely and without trauma.The next model up within the Onkyo line is the 807. It lists for $1099 but street price is naturally lower. Generally, it costs about $200 more than the 707. The price gap between the 707 and 807 widens and narrows from time to time. The 807 has slightly more power, and a few more, distinct features, elsewise, it is very similar to the 707.At its suggested retail price , and in consideration of the Onkyo 707's features and general performance, the 707 is usually regarded as a midrange receiver. But to be emphasized is that for 4x the cost, you will not get 4x the performance from a different receiver; meaning, today, "midrange" receivers do very very well for most purposes and hit the economy of scale point spot on.Power:My Pioneer TX 37 receiver had difficulty powering my Snells when applied to DVD/Blu-ray movies. Often I was required to "dial up", completely, to the Pioneer's maximum volume. And even then, often enough, the results were not satisfactory.The Onkyo 707 handles the same speakers and theater room with amazing ease. I cannot "dial up" the Onkyo 707 to maximum setting without 2 bad things happening; destroying my speakers and service of divorce papers. I find I only need about 35-40% of the 707's power, and this nonetheless results in "room shaking" sound from speakers that are not built to produce thunderous bass etc. And the bass is clean!I mentioned the Onkyo 807 above, noting it has modestly more power than the 707. I doubt there is justification, however, to purchase the 807 upon the basis of its higher power capacity, standing alone. And this is why I provide you my room dimensions, in order that this review be evaluated as applicable, or not, to your needs. My sense is that if the 707 doesnt have enough power for a given application, then the 807 will not either. Other reviews here, however, suggest that the 607 Onkyo is underpowered and unsatisfactory, notwithstanding close power specifications between the 707 and 607. I suppose the power performance of the 707 is what Goldilocks needed when she was shopping for a receiver; the 707 is simply a receiver's whose power is "just right"Sound:Unbelievable improvement over the THX Pioneer VSX 37TX! Surrounds were awakened, made markedly alive. Separation and effects superb. Audio is very clean. Unlike at least one review here, I find the 707 does a wonderful, thrilling job with music, including when played through theater modes. Le Reve, eg, sounds mind boggling though the THX Cinema mode. Nonethless, the 707 has an option permitting stereo through all speakers, or simply thru the front L/R. Some older movies sound better in the all stereo mode. I am advised that many midrange receivers do not have an all speaker stereo option.Vocal articulation in movies is very good. Some options produce better sound than others depending on the source material. And the night mode ( to stay married mode) does a very good job of allowing all sounds at relatively lower levels such that you can hear the whispers and enjoy the {mini} booms without a visit from upstairs.My theater room is prewired for 7.2; meaning, adding additional wiring for additional speaker set ups would now be difficult. That said, you should know that the 707 permits as many as 11 speakers to be run within Zone 1. If you are not familiar with this set up, it simply allows a total of 5 front speakers (permitting vertical and horizonal directional sound). I have not heard this effect and perhaps someome else will describe its value.There are many audio processing options. All current state of the art formats are processable thru the 707. Historically, receivers offered proprietary audio processing options only to disappoint. Eg, acoustical options like: " Miami Underwater Cave" , "North Carolina Woods" or "U of M/Ohio State coliseum " modes (I jest but I trust you get my point). This is not the case with the Onkyo. Its many audio choices are well thought out and quite legitimate; in fact, these options have very particular reasons to be employed. And the manual provides a chart to guide your selection. Choosing wisely results in even greater audio pleasure. The 707 is a Select 2 THX receiver , and listening to its THX cinema options prove the very real value of THX technology and the resulting certification. This THX label of approval is far more than mere marketing or simple window dressing. Onkyo THX Cinema and other THX modes are very well balanced to the 7.1 ear. To me, THX certification is a feature than goes on the "must have" list when shopping for a receiver.In evaluating a receiver's audio abilities, and deciding whether to upgrade, I believe it is very important to measure the receiver you are considering in view of what it can do with your existing movie/music library; meaning, most of your library probably lacks many of the latest audio codecs. So what improvements can you get with the 707? That is why I described my previous equipment when beginning this review. Against my background, the 707 has been a huge step up in audio perfomance when processing my existing library containing mono. stereo, Dolby, THX, DTS etc. Allbeit an overused expression , the Onkyo 707 blows away the audio performance of my Pioneer TX 37. The sound of my music and movies, when processed through the 707, are greatly improved.Heat:A fairly common criticism is that this receiver (and the 807) run "hot"; meaning, toooo hot in the most critical reviews. Two comments. First, the 707 has a cautionary , instuctional sticker on its top, stating that it occasionally runs "fairly hot". This means dont put anything on the receiver's top ( like your favorite Blu-ray or beverage). Such is no different than stating "dont use the blow dryer in the tub while bathing". Just common sense. Second, my experience with the 707 receiver is that it does run hot at times (when active-not usually when merely on) but not toooo hot. From time to time it will get fairly warm to hot when not powering anything---but it should be in the standby mode under such circumstances. Standby produces zero heat. (Yes I have watched for the "too hot" issue in light of the criticisms.) Please know that my 707 is in a rack room, placed on the top rack with nothing but air above (the right place for any receiver). The rack room is closet size and the heat issue, well, isnt for me. I have no need for an external fan .Other Features:Beyond that already said about the audio quality, I should note that the unit does have Audyssey. The 707 includes a microphone with a generous amount of line permitting hook up to a fairly distant receiver (that was my case). This was my first experience with acoustic adjustment using Audyssey or any equivalent. The Pioneer TX 37 permitted the manual setting of speaker distance and volume levels of the speakers on an individual basis, but went no further. In my case, this meant alot of experimentation (I do not own a sound meter, I walked around alot at night clapping my hands-and that wasn't moments of self-applause.) Setting up and executing the Audyssey system was a breeze, taking about 15 minutes. I should tell you that I used the 707 receiver in its natural default settings briefly, just to hear and determine if any real differences resulted from employing the Audyssey option with my movies and music. Well, yes. The brightness and front center domination produced by the 707's default settings were reduced to appropriate levels, and the surrounds greatly improved as a consequence. My previous set up with the Pioneer TX 37 required much work and produced lesser results. While I do not believe the Audyssey option worked miracles, it did greatly assist the speed of setting up my system, and did improve the acoustic outcome. And I was made confident that my speakers were adjusted properly and thus could move on to other matters.There are many many connections, including 5 rear HDMI inputs (and one HDMI out). It is probably already known by you, but if not, 2 LFE subwoofers out are supplied; many believe 2 subs are better than one and this makes using 2 subs very easy. Nice. I especially appreciate that the receiver's front includes both an HDMI input and standard inputs for auxilliary purposes. I have XM radio, and purchsed a Belkin home unit to plug in thru the front Aux inputs. The 707 is Sirrus ready for those with Sirrus, accessed by a connection in the rear. With either Sirrus or XM, a modestly priced receiver must be purchased. A wireless IR antenna, a bit more costly, may be required if the supplied XM/Sirrus antenna is unable to recieve the satillite signal, meaning, if the antenna is not able to be located against a geographically appropriate window. XM antenna must face S, Sirrus antenna must face N/E/or W. In any event, a purchased home unit can then be used to supply XM/Sirrus to your car or elsewhere to other components within the house. Nice.The 707 front inputs allow use of headphones, and further permit "pure audio" sound; ie, unprocessed audio. Also nice. And the last resort for late night music and movies. Finally, the Onkyo 707 includes a phono input; as vinyl is making a comeback, you are all set to hear the rarified sound of records. And for a few, this feature means alot as it isnt found on many receivers in the 707's price range.Video:I am using a Pioneer 320 Blu ray (known for its audio and video qualities. I previously reviewed the 320 here on Amazon). I do not need video processing from the Onkyo 707 for DVDs/Blu-Rays; however, the 707 is available to process other legacy sources such as VCRs,etc.. It appears you can avoid the Onkyo video processing by selecting "pass through" video out. My testing suggests my Pioneer 320 blu ray is doing the video processing when I select the "pass through" option. The manual lacks clarity and explanation here. But the pass through option is accessible by the remote and all this is discussed in the manual at pages 42-44. I can say little else here; I can say the Onkyo 707 processing appears smoother, a tad softer and "more film like" when displaying other video sources , but I personally prefer the sharper video details produced by the Pioneer 320. In my view, the Onkyo 707's video processing is good but not great, and not, accordingly, a strong point.Set-Up and Remote:I am no technocrat but no stranger to receivers. The Onkyo 707 was easy to connect and included several user friendly assists to make the set up a pleasant experience. I have yet to set up Zone 2. But Zone 1 speakers were connected and in use within 15 minutes by quick use of banana plugs. Set up for other primary features is made all the easier with the 707's use of on the screen display. Without a serious study of the lengthy manual, I was able to navigate thru most of the essential set ups intuitively. Incidentally, you may read or simply download the 707 manual- in whole or in part- from Onkyo's online homesite. While waiting for my receiver to arrive, I downloaded and browsed portions of the manual, just to become familiar with location of key connections and the like. Nice.The point here is that despite its many offerings, the 707 is not a difficult receiver to master. The manual is not badly written and is useful and necessary to understand some of the advanced features which need not be accessed until you are in the mood to explore. The on screen programming is easy to follow.The remote is fine. It is slightly larger than most. It isnt backlit, but I prefer the use of a small flashlight when using my remote during movies anyway. The remote is able to learn from other remotes, this is a very nice feature. Furthermore, the on screen display reveals codes of many other products to allow you to program and thus rely on the Onkyo remote for controlling most components and home theater applications. I should emphasize that you can create many macro options with this remote; meaning, a series of instructions may be programmed and set in motion by the push of just one button . Nice. That feature used to be found only with the remotes of very expensive receivers or by purchase of costly, high end stand alone remotes.Value:The proper place to end this review.This mid range receiver has been consistently judged a great value and performer in many professional reviews. Lay people usually repeat these very conclusions-witness the other reviews here on Amazon. As my enthusiastic review infers, I strongly agree ! Features, Power, Audio Qualities are uniformly very pleasing for all but the most demanding (and well-financed) consumers. Frankly, the Onkyo 707 is worth far more than its street price. If money is an object, then purchase the Onkyo 707 with confidence, its easily a Best Buy!

5Onkyo TX-SR707 vs TX-SR507 which I replaced.
By Average Joe
I originally purchased the Onkyo TX-SR507 and was unhappy with it.. I thought it would be the right model because I only wanted 5.1 support and that model also had the universal port for the Onkyo iPod dock.I decided on the Definitive Technology Mythos and a Definitive Technology Supercube 1 as my speakers and sub and I found the 507 to be somewhat underpowered plus the 507 did not support on screen display which at the time i didn't think was that bid a deal.Well this 707 model is WAY better than the 507.. I know the wattage is only rated at 20 watts more into 8 ohms but the 707 seems much better at powering all my speakers. On the 507 I had to turn the amp to about 75 percent ( my room is fairly large but not huge) on dvd's to fill my room.. the 707 does this at about 40-45 percent of the available volume. Plus for some reason, the upgraded DAC's maybe but the sound is far superior to the 507. I've extremely pleased.Also, I thought THX Select2 Plus would just be another codex available but it is by far my favorite.. it doesn't color the sound but seems to balance everything just right.. I love the THX modes in movies and the modes for music..Also, the on screen display is fantastic.. these receivers are realy complex and it is very nice to sit in your chair ( listening position) and make all the adjustments you want.. it's easy to compare and determine what you like best.Also, if your looking to use the universal port for the iPod doc you can chose two modes, basic and extended with this model. With extended display you get to see all your folders, lists .. etc from the iPod on screen. This display is powered by the processing power of the iPod so scrolling is a little slow but its very nice none the less.I believe this receiver is easily worth the extra money over the 507 ( only has basic support for the iPod and seems underpowered with no THX modes).

5A worthy successor to my old Carver
By adx442
My old Carver HTR-880 had been with me for about 14 years at this point, and was beginning to show its age, being an analog receiver with only the most basic of hookups. The channels were beginning to become a little noisy, and I finally, grudgingly, looked to replace it.My wife found a fantastic deal on the Onkyo SR-707 during this holiday shopping season, and we ordered it at just the right time.A major concern for me was that the care and concern for the quality of music reproduction would not be as great as my old Carver ... I have pretty good ears, and the Carver was one of the only amps available at the time (in my price range) that I really liked listening to. As it turns out, it was an unfounded worry.The SR-707 sounds better than my old Carver in every way, particularly with my Klipsch speakers, which sounded a little harsh with the Carver. Being able to control every component with one remote by using a few simple HDMI cables and one TOShttp://amzn.com/dp/B002DSMNPC/?tag={komponelektr-20} optical cable (for PC sound) is fantastic, and the HDMI implementation on this Onkyo was painless to set up and configure. I particularly liked that it is so seamless to set up things like "Video from HDMI on this port, but use digital sound from this input (TOShttp://amzn.com/dp/B002DSMNPC/?tag={komponelektr-20})". I have a PC set up for our DVD and video watching, and the motherboard doesn't have an HDMI output, so thanks to the Onkyo, we can still enjoy all the benefits of HDMI video routing and maintain digital sound paths. I love being able to switch the video and audio from one source to another with one remote, and being able to turn everything off or one with one button.The DSP effects and Pro-Logic modes are very thorough, and the manual does a fantastic job of charting out which ones are best for (or available for) which speaker configurations. We have a fairly simple setup of 2 main speakers, a center channel, and a subwoofer. No surround speakers to speak of, and the Theater-Dimensional and "Surround Sensation" modes really do expand the soundstage to give you a "kinda" surround sound feel.The Direct and Pure Music modes sound accurate, as compared to a very neutral headphone amp and Sennheiser 580 headphones, so, at least to my ears, the Onkyo does a fine job of not coloring the sound when you turn off most of the signal processing by using these modes.Some of my positivity about this product comes, naturally, from moving from almost exclusively analog source connections to pure digital connections ... and wow, does it make a difference. However, the Onkyo has done a great job with everything about this receiver. I like the amp, I like the control, I like the number and variety of inputs, and I love the fine-grained control it gives you over your sources.Many people have talked about the heat generated by this amp. It's entirely possible that it is much hotter when you're running all 11 possible speakers from it, but with my setup (only 3 speakers being driven directly by the amp) it's just warm on the top. It obviously needs good ventilation, based on the manual and design of the chassis. That's just the price you pay for a high-current amplifier, which was one of my "must-have" features when replacing the Carver.The only test left for this amp is if it can last as long as my old Carver did ... I'll update this review if I have any reliability issues.
