I’ve been a fan of Onkyo receivers for a while, they always seem to be very competitive price-to-feature. They continue releasing new versions to keep up with all the features, these are more in the high end though, with prices of $900 and $1100. SlashGear Onkyo have dropped a new home AV receiver, the company’s first such home theater […]
Read moreWho says we’re in a down economy! And remember when nobody thought the little Roku box could compete with all the big boys?
