   Best receiver for price. OK..You’ve read them, good reviews,bad reviews. Most say OMG it’s a downgrade from the 818, or it’s not as good as the 838. Well let me say, that both statements could be true. However the other things to consider with this model are build quality (chassis design of their higher end models…very robust, and an increase in weight due to construction and heavy duty transformer, this receiver has an impressive and clean look. ), sound quality (discrete amp design ), TXH /4 ohm rated, functionality, and last…PRICE!!! To upgrade to the 838 or a 929 requires a serious upgrade in cost. Is it worth it?? It depends on your circumstances. I will say though that the 828 delivers awesome value for the price since it has such a warm /powerful sound. For those of us that have 4 ohm speakers the THX certification is an assurance that the amp can power them at reference level. A phono input is a huge thing if you (like me) still enjoy vinyl and don’t want a separate “phono peamp” in the mix. Also visit reviews of ANY manufacturer of AV receivers…there are always those warning you “don’t buy this piece of junk”. I believe it’s possible to get a lemon of any product. I also believe that ONKYO USA will stand behind their warranty. I know this because I used to sell ONKYO products for years and NEVER had a problem with their service dept. on any issues. Just talk to them…they are there to help. IMO there is no better value than ONKYO no matter what price range you find yourself in. This particular model though, at this price, is a true opportunity to get above average value in build, sound quality, and features that is very hard to surpass…

   Replaced 18 year old Onkyo Integra 838 receiver that still works and is being moved to the basement. Replacing for HDMI, wireless connectivity, sound processing, ect… Receiver does have all the bells and whistles I was looking for and then some. Set up is pretty straight forward once you pay with it. Regarding sound the 828 pushes my speakers better then the aging Integra, however, the quality/purity of the sound from the Integra is better. Overall so far I am happy with the purchase. Seems to be a decent receiver at this price point. The sound quality I am looking for would be found in receivers at a much higher price point.

   After much research and when this popped up the day before Cyber Monday I jumped on it. I am glad I did. This is used for a HT setup.First off you would not know it is a refurb. Completely packaged original, everything included. No flaws on the unit noted.The meat.Many speaker options.2-channel to 7.2 FH or FW or SB or 5.1 + zone 2.Full gambit of sound options that are too many too list.Audyssey setup is quick and simple, get a camera tripod for the mike.The sound quality is excellent, rich, and full on our mid level speakers in a 7.1SB setup.You can really feel the movie!Video processing works good. I really cannot comment much here as everything we have scales to 1080p native.This is a worth while buy. Remember that a refurb has been tested, more tested than a new unit. Plus you still have a factory warranty.
