Design

The trend in home audio is to make gear smaller and sleeker, but Onkyo receivers are unapologetically big and bulky, coming in at 17.13 inches wide by 6.94 inches high by 12.94 inches deep. You'll want to leave plenty of space in your home theater rack to fit the receiver, especially since it tends to run hot. The front panel offers the standard assortment of buttons and knobs; the focus is definitely on function over form. We're not picky about aesthetics when it comes to AV receivers, but if you are, you'd probably be better off looking at options like the Sony STR-DN1000 or Pioneer VSX-1019AH.
