It helps eliminate any colorization that might occur in sound delivery. It also permits accurate reproduction throughout the sonic range. All things considered, this Onkyo SKS-HT750B 7.1 channel speaker system is a great companion to your home-theater receiver, your new HDTV, and your video players. They are an integral part of your home-theater system, and a reasonable investment too.
Customer Review: Fantastic
I have just got this product and man what a system it is. The only thing which I did not like is the size of the subwoofer which is big. The rest of the speakers packs a power punch. I have got a pioneer receiver as a combination and the sound is fantastic. Also to give you an idea my room is in the dimension of 16 ft by 12 ft. If you are looking for a product which is small in size this would not be an ideal speaker system. What it lacks in compactness it compensates in performance.

Customer Review: Every feature you could ask for!
This receiver has every modern decoding ability available on physical media. For the price I think it a fantastic bargain. I replaced my Denon AVR 5700 with this unit in order to gain the new HD DD and DTS as well as more capable video switching —– and to my ears - cannot tell a difference in sound quality. The only qualm I have about this unit is it does run hot. The Denon rarely got warm, but this receiver gets hot, even out in open air. I would strongly recommend against putting this receiver in a closed off AV cabinet. For the money - fantastic bargain.

Customer Review: Onkyo TX-SR 705 A/V receiver
I am extremely satisfied with the Onkyo TX-SR 705 A/V receiver. When coupled with the Onkyo SKS-HT240 surround speakers the overall quality and user experience are excellent. The installation and setup were aided by excellent diagrams and color-coding and the remote control exceeded my expectations for being able to program all the peripherals under the single Onkyo remote control. My only complaint is that the organization of the user manual is somewhat less than logical and has a tendency to confuse and side-track. I have no regrets about my purchase

Customer Review: What a difference!
Originally purchased the Onkyo 705 and it sounded good for a while and then all of its issues came out. I plugged this Yamaha into the same setup and WOW! The sound that this Yamaha puts out is so clear. The Onkyo at its best is not even close. The onkyo needs 8 inches of space above the receiver in order to not burn up. I have less then 2 inches of space above this receiver and it still runs extremely cool. A Yamaha fan for life now!

Customer Review: Great sound
I remember when I would have stayed up all night, if necessary, to install a new piece of audio equipment. Well, it’s hooked up for TV and cd/dvd but not yet for radio and tape decks. I had some friends over the day after I installed it and we watched several hours of concerts on dvd. Their response was unanimous: FABULOUS! And that’s without a subwoofer. Front pair of speakers are Klipsch F-3 towers. Center and rear are cheap set of Sony’s.
Sometimes the receiver has a mind of its own. I restarted a movie we had just watched and it played with commentary. It would not let me change it back to no commentary. This has never happened prior. I think it may be a compatability issue.
TV picture looks better but I have to adjust the aspect ratio and the “video status”(color variants) every time I watch something. It doesn’t really bother me but for someone who does not want to fiddle with the controls to get the optimal picture, it will be a hassle.
