Dear All,
I have an option to buy the Onkyo TX-SR876 as an upgrade from my Yamaha dsp A5 but when I connect the onkyo up - as I have it on a trial basis - (5.1 speakers and optical digital source only at this stage), it just does not sound very powerful and doesn’t have the oomph when compared to the Yamaha. It does sound clearer (albeit with the treble on full and eq settings adjusted) but not such that it would be worth spending the extra money on. I have gone through the manual and set the speakers to maximum level and onto full band width (as I didn’t receive the mic) but just cannot get it sounding loud. I even turned up the volume to full. The same thing on the Yamaha would have caused the house to shake. I am obviously doing something wrong so your thoughts/ advice would be much appreciated.
