Anyone who has bought older Receivers and can elaborate on their experiences with the Onkyo Brand?
There's a HT 590 from 2010 available.
Thank you!

Please elaborate on this..how are you doing music now?I had an Onkyo AVR for many years with Audessy supplied. It worked fine but nothing spectacular....I did not enjoy it with music and went in for separates for music duties. I now have a Denon for AVR duties - frankly since I only use it for movies I cannot make out the difference between this and the old Onkyo. The entire video section of the Onkyo just died one day and so without spending a lot of money it was just an audio amp which it was not great for...so I gifted it to a friend who was stepping out on this slippery slope of journey of audio
Overall I cannot hear the difference between AVRs (other than power) as each movie soundtrack is so unique and so have decided to buy functional AVRs and use the Home theatre bypass in my audio separates if I want the extra punch. This setup seems to work and is economical.
Hi - I am using separates now for audio: Mac mini (streaming & CDs) -->DAC-->Pre amp-->Power Amp-->speakers. I use the AVR only for movies with the front channels playing through the music preamp/power amp.Please elaborate on this..how are you doing music now?

Hehe, lookup Focal Supra No.3.Please elaborate on this..how are you doing music now?
Yes - feel blessed to have the Sopra - though it takes a long time to burn in / open up...so initially there is post purchase dissonance but 300 hours later its bliss!Hehe, lookup Focal Supra No.3.
Apologies @Sugar though. I did not intend to mention the Supras from a price point alone. Not a week goes by without my looking up youtube on the Kantas and the Supras.
On topic, my BIL has an older Onkyo receiver and I remember it sounding pretty good at his place.
You sure you want to buy something thats almost 13 years old? Unless you are getting it for free.Anyone who has bought older Receivers and can elaborate on their experiences with the Onkyo Brand?
Happened to me twice. Onkyo is a bad idea nowadaysAren't the older hdmi based onkyo recievers supposed to be ticking time bombs because of hdmi board overheating? At least that's what happened to most people i know
