How Good Is Onkyo TX-NR515???

[riteshmadhok]

I am offered a Dubai Import Onkyo TX-NR515 AVR for 31k, its brand new and sealed. Had a few questions =
How good is Onkyo as a brand?
How good is this TX-NR515 model?
Will I get warranty in India for a Dubai unit? (Seller has the invoice)
Any other model recommendations over this one?

Onkyo TX-NR515 is an exceptional receiver. Look here Onkyo TX-NR515 review from the experts at whathifi.com

But if you listen to music also, then choose Yamaha V673. When I demoed Onkyo i found that Onkyo has a good balance in the highs on the mids and lows but I often find it not accurate enough and the highs not impressive enough and somewhat boring... and it brings fatigue while listening to it... it has a wide sound stage which sounds hollow to me, and it gives more of a cinematic sound than musical one.

Thnx Rupam for ur reply, Well for music I got my Marantz PM7004, I need the AVR for Movies etc. So 31k is a good deal?

 

[Rupam]

Its a steal deal considering that in India its 55k.

You dont get warranty though...might be worthwhile to chk the price in dubai + shipping + customs to see how much it works out to...

I got a 616 for 26k but tht was with zero shipping and zero customs exps since a friend carried it...

In all probability the 31k tag will work out cheaper but it maybe worthwhile to chk out the comparison anyways

Tanmayj - By any chance is anyone coming how good is your 616?

Nope. Nobody is coming. And the 616 is an amazing receiver

I have heard it with Wharfedale Jade bookshelf speakers and I liked the performance. Though it has good specifications for music but the sound seems more suited for movies.
