Onkyo HT-S780
$500.00
Released June, 2008
The Pros:Excellent overall sound quality at the price point - sufficient balance of low, middle and high frequencies with minimal distortion or coloration. Initial setup is very easy - wiring scheme is straightforward and user data input/unit tests ensure optimal performance. Excellent multi-channel surround sound support - 5.1 to 7.1 conversion works very well amongst movies and video games.
The Cons:Low-end outputting is stifled amongst bass-heavy genres - fans of electro and hip hop will likely require a more powerful subwoofer. Included speaker cables are very short - not compatible with wall or ceiling-mounted speaker setups. Instruction manual is poorly written - helpful content is sparse and certain to confuse inexperienced users.
The HT-S780 is a mid-range 7.1-channel home theater speaker package from the Onkyo company. Featuring seven 110-watt channels, this model is capable of providing Dolby Digital Pro Logic IIx surround sound for high-quality home theater entertainment systems.

Wire Range Amplifier technology provides powerful noise-free sound by broadening the frequency spectrum, spreading and minimizing unwanted noises for ideal DVD and Blu-Ray disc playback. Onkyo's own Cinema Filter technology helps to normalize film and television soundtracks by tuning output to a smaller room size, while 192KHz/24-bit digital-to-analog conversion provides standardized playback of all incoming media types.
