The new Onkyo 626 belongs to the 2013 line up which I believe has facilities like wifi, blue tooth, networking and phase bass matching ...these features shall make it a good sellar. These are the modern day needs and would help the user in every regard.

Always thought Onkyo ugly beasts. Some improvement?

I don't understand something...

In your unboxing video, you compared the 626 to the 515....why? :?

Isn't this the replacement for the rather troublesome 616??? :O

Also, I presume the 525 is the replacement for the 515?? :doh:

I suppose because What Hi Fi hasn't reviewed the 616. They have reviewed the 515:

Yes, I have always wondered why the 616 was not reviewed...probably because it was useless.

But factually, the 626 IS the replacement for the 616, so showing the 515 based on a 'price-point' basis just because 616 was never reviewed doesn't sound quite right.

Don't you think, Big Boss?

 

[his dudeness]

think its more about price range,onkyo had moved models up the price range after the 609,now they seem to be shifting down again.

It wasn't meant to be a direct comparison, just for interest seeing as we had it in the building. And the 515 did come out for around £450 originally.
