Soon after Panasonic's wins in the EISA Awards last week, Onkyo has scooped the EISA European Home Theatre Receiver 2007-2008 award.
Retailing at £400, the Onkyo has received sterling critical comment from all quarters, not least from EISA's judging panel.
“Onkyo's TX-SR605 is a very talented performer. It's the first AV Receiver to include HDMI 1.3, and offer decoding of new sound formats such as DTS-HD and Dolby True HD. But it's also a powerful home cinema amplifier that provides a true 7.1-channel output, compatibility with 1080p and Deep Color (xvYCC) video signals, as well as Faroudja de-interlacing. The built-in Audyssey 2EQ enables swift and easy automatic calibration in any room, but what's really amazing is the extremely competitive price.
The Onkyo is a superb future-proof buy for the true enthusiast and the more cost-conscious consumer alike.”
Clearly pleased with the award, general manager of Onkyo UK David Anderson commented, “We shall repay EISA's faith by continuing to deliver consumers products that continue to push the boundaries of audio/video technology”. Glad to hear it.
