In the fast-paced world of home entertainment technology, change has become an understated word. Technologies now change so quickly that the new becomes yesterday's product before you barely become accustomed to it. Perhaps it's time to refocus on what's really important for quality audio: first-rate sound with high power output. Forget about over-hyped processing technologies. If your receiver lacks the fundamental amplifier design from the power supply through to the output stage, everything else is superfluous. The TX-8522 is built with this in mind. Incorporating Onkyo's proprietary Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT) with an isolated power transformer and discrete output stage, the TX-8522 is focused on maintaining the purity of music, radio and video sources while bringing meaningful features to your system.

Incredible Value

My friend has been running this puppy for about 6 months now. It just doesn't quit. Throw it rock, opera, jazz, youtube; whatever, just great amplification. The built-in diagnostics prevent you from ruining your speakers. I follow the rule of spend no more than $1,000 for an amp; this puppy is resetting my understanding.

Everything you'd expect except a loudness contour

Budget audiophiles rejoice. This receiver puts out plenty o clean swat. It is enough to fill my small listening space with plenty of warm vinyl sounds. While it is no way my deceased marantz 2270 it is a heck of a deal. Not too many receivers offer this amp and a phono input at this budget. I have this attached to two koss cm 1030 towers from 1981, an audio source dual 10 band eq, and a fisher 6330 turntable with a shure mx97e cart installed. It is hands down better than my previous kenwood integrated amp. However, one thing bothers me. With all the nice clean onkyo features they left out the loudness contour. Not a big deal to most... but.. with a small listening room in a town home it is needed. Okay now for the good stuff. The receiver is fairly transparent. It pumps out plenty o watts for the buck. It cost me a whopping 152.00 refurbished. The bass and treble controls are at a nice frequency as well. My vinyl sounds very nice through this piece. The features are also well laid out. I warn you, feed this guy some larger speakers because it will more than likely destroy most inferior models.
