Product Description
If you want your receiver to focus purely on two-channel audio, the TX-8255 could be just the answer. It`s perfect for your living room, or anywhere else you like to sit back and soak up your music.The TX-8255`s rock-solid construction incorporates a heavy-duty extruded aluminum heat sink to ensure cooler operation.The whole unit is housed in a rigid, reinforced chassis-finished off with a hairline-brushed aluminum front panel-to help eliminate vibrations. Add compatibility with RI dock for the iPod(R), and you have a superb stereo solution that brings out the power and dynamism of your audio sources.

5 out of 5 stars Just What I Needed   August 20, 2010
Henry H. Knapp (Rural California)
This receiver provides adequate capture and signal-to-noise ratios for use in metropolitan areas with stations that produce normal signal strengths, and at a very reasonablel price. As to audio quality, I literally don't know, because I listen to the receiver with earphones. However, audio engineers have been building adequate (by my standards) audio amplifiers for decades, so the Onkyo probably has one. Anyway most audio distortion occurs in the speakers, and I'm not using any.
Enjoy.



5 out of 5 stars excellent backyard/garage unit   August 16, 2010

I had an Onkyo reciever before this one that finally burned out on me after 14 years of abuse, this is an excellent replacement. No bells and whistles, just straight up power to push 4 speakers and pump out some serious tunes for hopefully yet another 14 years of backyard parties...

I know nothing about receivers and have no standard in audio quality. I bought this because my new house had surround sound speakers installed already and i wanted to use those speakers.

Anyhow i use the basic rca inputs and speaker inputs. it sounds nice. it was easy for a newbie to set up. I am overall pleased.

Purchased the ONKYO TX-8255 in June. Hooked it up to a pair of old but superb ADS L-520 speakers. The sound is incredible for a receiver at this price. Two channel stereo when properly installed is still the best. Also routed the Sony HD TV through the Onkyo. TV sound is 500% better through the Onkyo and ADS speakers.
The AM and FM radio is also another plus. The FM is ok, but really needs a better outside antenna. I purchased a Magnum Dynalab FM antenna and installed it outside. I pull in stations 40 to 50 miles away with no static.
The ONKYO TX-8255 is a serious piece of stereo equipment at a very reasonable price.

I ordered a NEW Onkyo receiver from Amazon and received a REPACKAGED receiver that didn't work. Amazon did take it back at no cost - good news - but it never should have shipped in the first place. I did order a second NEW Onkyo receiver which also showed signs of being REPACKAGED. Thankfully, the second receiver worked, but the whole experience was a poor one.
