That's a great price. I got one off Richer Sounds last month for 230 and that was a decent deal then.
It's a fantastic amp with plenty of HDMI inputs.

Are you using the music streaming and the phone app?
If yes - how are you finding them..

At present I have a sonos setup in the room that amp is going in..but I'm hoping to relocate it to a different spot if the Onkyo streaming is up to scratch.

I've tried the phone app but it's not a feature I'll use too often. I find my Harmony remote is all I need.
I've also not tried the internet music services even though I've got it connected to my router.

Coolio - from using Sonos I can recommend the Aupeo channels.. they play a decent selection of Categorised Randomness.. and the Basic service is free..

Still not sure how exactly it works through the Onkyo..but I guess it's Onkyo, so it cant be all that bad :-)

RicherSounds Belfast store has it for £180, they would ship it to your for not much more than a tenner too.

that probably works out a littlebit more as well paying by card as banks/cards rarely offer same exchange rates as XE.. And that's without adding the shipping.
Even so - if somebody misses out on the iBood deal - or prefers to shop with a well established retailer..it's a decent price.

Hi Muad,

very tempted to pull the trigger on this. You're using it. Any issues at all ??

Cheers

Had a longer look at Richersounds..and found a couple of interesting alternatives..if you're not into the streaming thing..

but yes...I'm thinking the Onkyo is a stellar deal, and I'm into my streaming.
