@bub78 Man, you should have been here a year earlier and you could have seen a speaker dock every Friday. Your jumping on board 89 days ago with us unfortunately coincided with our jumping on board with Onkyo for our 2nd deal with them. It was a biggie, but if you tell a shit-ton of your friends/co-workers/family/neighbors/random peeps walking down the street, etc, about this deal, I can assure you will never see this model being sold here again

@Ignorant I agree, we need speakers sans bluetooth

@Yoda_Daenerys oh yes I should’ve specified that. Standard speakers and subwoofers please meh. Thanks

@communist very helpful, thanks! I get a ton of info off the comments on things like this. I have 5.1 onkyo,it’s old with no HDMI, and I’ll need to move up soon. It’s just all those little things in life come up—root canal, car inspection–and all those health insurance co-pays. Sorry for the seriousness, it gets to me now and then.
My current Onkyo runs great, but it does run hot.

@wew if i were you, i’d spring for it at this price, i only wish i hadn’t bought the earlier onkyo and pioneer receivers

@Yoda_Daenerys I did… and then I bought a badass Yamaha receiver on Craigslist this weekend for $180. My crystal ball let me down I guess.

@jbartus package delivered today, btw

@Yoda_Daenerys I know. I am busy composing a thread.

@jbartus just wanted to be sure the receptionist didn’t make off with it

@Yoda_Daenerys what receptionist? Did you stalk my package?

@jsh139 oh, thanks! I never knew why people asked about HDMI pass-thru’s! Now I know what they do.

@wew Yep, sometimes you just don’t feel like watching every little thing in surround sound. It’s nice to be able to just use the TV speakers without getting the amp involved.

@UncleEdZed Contigos or Bubbas don’t get you to pontificating?

@Yoda_Daenerys A fair question. And they might, except I am a bit of a drinkware collector/enthusiast. On the other hand, maybe it would be somewhat thereputic to write about one’s compulsive buying habits.

@UncleEdZed hmmm, maybe that is why i am spending more time in the Meh. forums

I’m sleepy and felt a bit bad, so added a star to every comment (except mine). Bored too I guess.

@RedOak Heres a star for a fellow bored Mehmber.

@PhysAssist wow, i think i just heard my bubble burst, or Meh.be it was some other noise, but i bought some onkyo from Meh. a while back thinking they are still high end

/giphy where have i been?

@Yoda_Daenerys Don’t take my words for gospel, but these are being sold on Meh,

@PhysAssist As have items such as Dysons and Roombas, both considered high end in their respective categories. Just because it’s sold here doesn’t automatically make it crap.

@cinoclav I know- that’s why I keep spending here

@megalomani Maybe try one model up the product line instead? It’s a bit pricier, but thanks to inspiration from Meh I just bought this one because the phono made it worth it for me. Plus it’s got more HDMI inputs. The refurbs have a nice discount and a warranty from Onkyo.

@doogs What’s phono? Not sure I know what that means… I only know little when it comes to surround sound.

@itsherediatary It’s a special type of input that allows you to connect a record turntable without having a special separate box called a preamp. A preamp amplifies and equalizes the signal coming from the record player so you can hear it and subsequently groove. Thing of a phono input as an input with a built-in preamp. The phono input looks just like any other ordinary pair of red and white input jacks, but I have outed its secret power, just for you.

@doogs Dude. Thanks for the enlightenment! This will aid me in future audio purchases. Thank ya, kindly.

@texquill I just bought mine! It seemed like a good deal. I was reading lots and lots of reviews and it seems like a good receiver for a first time buyer!

@lpsisrl Here’s a possible solution: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Can+you+play+apple+video+on+Roku+

@claybones Huh? If you have 4 ceiling speakers they would typically be ran two as the fronts and two as the rears to give you a 4.0 setup. You could add a center and sub for 5.1, but not needed. This receiver would handle that just fine.

@midcontrast Not sure but I think I heard that a sound system is a requirement for a new house. Kind of like a stove, or heating system. Roll the meh purchase into the mortgage payment! Great idea!!! Nothing says Merica like indebtedness.

@accelerator You’re right. Who am I to deny myself the American dream!?

@atx85 I felt the need to star your post simply because it saddened me that you’ve been around for 678 days and have never received a star. (Though it would probably be easier if you actually posted a bit more often.) So, welcome to the buyers club. It’s all downhill from here.

@cinoclav You’ve made my day a little brighter I do keep an eye out here often, the community always seems great - even if I don’t post much. Cheers!

@tonylegrone It worked! Your order number is: standing-lapping-falcon

/image standing-lapping-falcon

Barney whispers, “Good job mediocrebot.”

@Barney are you whispering so you don’t knock the house down?

@Yoda_Daenerys I’m thinking about becoming The Bot Whisperer.

@purwin you’re welcome.

@purwin I take it back…just speakers. Sorry.
