Onkyo HT-S770: Inspired by Performance and not by Design

Author: martin  //  Category: Home Cinema

It won’t take a great deal of effort on your part to differentiate Onkyo’s HT-S770 home cinema system from the towering tallboy speakers and futuristically slender receiver with DVD players that are the fashion recently. The HT-S770, successor to the excellent HT-S760, instead offers a component-size 6.1-channel receiver, a fully powered subwoofer, and rather odd fashioned boxy speakers. The design is peculiar to say the least, especially at a time when the thrust appears more towards more glitzy and stylish looking sets. The unit however, more than makes up for its insipid design by delivering a memorable performance, with the audio output turning out to be the standout performer. It goes without saying that the unit outperforms its stylish counterparts on a number of fronts.

The channels, six of them, are each powered by a hefty 130 watt and deliver quite a stunning performance. The 6.1-channel processing modes include Dolby EX and DTS ES. So the Onkyo HT-S770 home cinema is only overpowered by 7.1 systems like the Onkyo HT-S990THX. The Onkyo HT-S770’s connectivity is another one of the unit’s advantages, as it provides two component-video inputs, four A/V inputs and two outputs, four digital inputs, two stereo ins and one out, in addition to comprehensive front-panel-mounted connections. Remarkably, the 5.1 SACD/DVD-Audio inputs are also there. Moreover, the speaker connectors are all heavy-duty binding posts that accept banana jacks.

The specifications of the unit, on the other hand, suggest that it game for fairly large rooms. It really reaches its peak at high-volume and delivers quite a fearsome performance. The surround sound effects are also immaculate creating a dynamic and dramatic feel.
