The onkyo tx-nr709 is a fantastic receiver for movies and very good for music too!. I used to run a monitor audio bx5 5.1 system on a onkyo tx-nr515 and the onkyo did a great job but wasn't quite powerfull enough to bring out all the finer details of Blu-ray soundtracks so I exchanged it for the onkyo tx-nr609 and it was clear that it was a definite step up from the 515,but then I saw the 709 for sale and read the reviews on it and so decided to take the jump and buy it. WOW!! all I can say is the jump in performance and sonic detail over the 609 was very clear, its only 10 watts per channel more than the 609 but you can certainly hear the difference between them. I would recommend this amp to anyone that appreciates all the finer details in movie sountracks and music cd's too. its just an all round top amp and they can be had for decent prices now too instead of the £800 price tag it had when released. bottom line is,if you want a receiver that has it all then grab a 709 while you can.....Read full review
