I didn't want multi-channel overkill, just an adequate 2 channel unit. This Onkyo fit the bill nicely. I would definitely recommend this, especially at the price point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Receiver

Works great. Exactly what I was looking for.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Unit but don't expect any type of customer service

D.H. · June 13, 2025

Instructions are non existent . There is no way to download the manual as it say the page is not available. The customer service (Gabriel ) is uninformed and unfriendly. The Onkyo app would not reconize my new receiver. Tried to set it up via manual process but got stuck when trying to enter my network password. When you get to this point you need to enter your password from the app and not via the remote control. The receive itself seem to work as expected once you go through the very frustrating process of setting it up. If I had it to do over again would have chosen a different unit. Hope this help someone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great amp with meh tone control

A. · January 14, 2025

Bought this to replace an ancient Kenwood amp that I ran for 22 years.Out of the box the TX-8470 has a bright, almost harsh sound. Highs are crisp and detailed. Things become muddled at lower volumes, though, so you’ll want to crank it loud. And that bright sound, at sustained high volumes, leads to ear fatigue. This is where the weakness of the tone controls makes itself known. Treble doesn’t scale proportionally, forcing continual adjustment. The Bass knob appears to be a placebo; I tested it with everything from Led Zeppelin to Gang Starr and found almost no effect.The solution is to exit the default “stereo” mode in favor of “direct” or “pure sound,” both of which bypass the tone control circuits. This gets rid of the harshness in favor of a nice warm sound that facilitates sustained listening at moderate volumes. Then when you do need the power, this thing’s ready.Onkyo doesn’t include a full manual, instead nudging you to download the “Onkyo Controller” app. Do not do this. Download the full manual, connect to WiFi manually, and go through all your firmware updates before you try to deal with getting the app to work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for vinyls, and CD's too.

D.A.J. · January 31, 2025

Too good to be true.Not just for vinyls, sounds even great with CDs.Always been a fan of Onkyo.I also bought a Denon integrated amp a month ago, however it pales when compared to Onkyo. With volume set to 80, the Onkyo amp still delivers clear, crisp and distinct sound, with no distortion at all.Grabbed one when 200 USD was slashed from its original price, last December 2024

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the effort.

This stereo receiver was a bit of a challenge to get hooked up to wifi due to a lack of clear instructions, but now that it has been, it's fabulous. Crystal clear sound and plenty of power. The controls (phone app and remote) are very easy to use, but those on the receiver are rather hard to see. Very happy with the whole thing.

1.0 out of 5 stars needs work

f.r.e. · February 17, 2025

I paid a high price for features that did not work. The APP was unusable. The Bluetooth transceiver was unusable. I also wanted to use the banana plugs but they were too small.

5.0 out of 5 stars better than expected

D. · January 17, 2025

I have owned plent of Onkyo products but this stereo reciever is more than I expected. performs great and has made my speakers come to life. My previous Onkyo was just wore out and did not perform like this one. Great purchase for me and now loving music again on the stereo.

Potente, funcional y hecho para la música

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Es un receptor de dos canales que cumple con creces su propósito. La música se escucha con altísima calidad y la potencia de sus canales son extraordinarios. En mi caso lo conecté a unas bocinas Polk de 200w y wow … retumbó la sala de música.Ademas está más que listo para conectar la tornamesa y que se escuche increíble! Fue la Razo por la que lo compre.También cuenta con conexión AirPlay, Bluetooth, etc.

Macht was er soll und mehr

P. · October 2, 2024

Er macht was er soll und mehr "the yellow from the egg" sozusagen. Sehr viele Anschlussmöglichkeiten, aber von den Funktionen her nicht überladen. Für mich war vor allem HDMI ARC wichtig.

absolute Überraschung

Ich bin von meinem Denon Heimkino System, wieder auf Stereo gewechselt. Der neue Onkyo Stereo Receiver TX 8470 ist einfach klasse. Das Musikerlebnis mit meinen Quadral Chromium 6 Standlautsprechern ist jetzt Weltklasse, die Anlage spielt in einer anderen Liga, danke Onkyo, weiter so.

Gutes Gerät
