Not everyone is clamoring for a 5, 6, or 7 channel home-theater sound system. For most, it isn't necessary. They don't want all those speakers (or don't have space to put them) so they prefer stereo. The Onkyo TX-8222 is a component stereo receiver, the heart and brain of a home stereo system. As an Onkyo, you can be assured of excellent sound and quality.
While new technologies come and go, the fundamentals of competent receiver design remain constant. It is best to think of it in simple terms: a power supply, an input stage, a driver stage, and an output stage that all combine to amplify signals without any loss in quality. The current that actually drives the loudspeakers comes from a power source via the receiver's power supply. You can never underestimate the importance of the power supply, and all other audio processing functions cannot rule over good solid amplification. This is the direction Onkyo has taken with the TX-8222. Built for those people who value the benefits of time-proven amplification design, the TX-8222 takes core Onkyo technology?and an array of features you'll actually use?to bring you a no-nonsense stereo receiver that will deliver audio and radio signals to your chosen speakers or headphones that you're sure to enjoy. Unit Dimensions (W x H x D) 17 1/8 x 5 7/8 x 12 11/16; Weight 16.5 lbs./7.5 kg

Among the best buys for a two-channel system

For the past two years, the Onkyo 8222 receiver has served me well -- powering a pair of BIC bookshelf speakers with room to spare from a CD changer, DVD player, and gaming platform. No fancy bells and whistles from this unit, which appeals to the simple logic of "less complexity = less likely to break." Just good, clean sound from a 2-channel receiver with only the essentials. A small indicator light on the volume knob would have been a nice feature, but that's a nit-picking flaw. What continues to amaze me is the stable price point -- when purchased in 2006, the one-fifty-ish price remains unchanged in 2008. Quite the bargain! An excellent buy overall.

Excellent Product, Excellent Service

My receiver amp came in great shape. It was a fast delivery, no problems whatsoever. Thank you.

I am extremely satisfied with this receiver!!!

After my old receiver broke down (which was just a bad radioshack model)I went looking for a good receiver for a reasonable price. I came across this model and saw all the reviews all over the internet. I didn't know much about Onkyo, and had assumed they weren't good receivers. I was very, very wrong. This receiver is pretty much THE receiver to get if you can't afford a really expensive product, but still want a great sound. It amplifies beautifully with a rich and fantastic sound! It can go EXTREMELY loud, but I wouldn't recommend turning any receiver up so loud that pictures are falling off the wall, that would probably blow out your speakers, too. If you want a good deal on a receiver after your old one goes bad, this IS THE ONE TO GET!!! One last thing, I also have to mention the greatness of it's phono inputs, for people like myself who still love vinyl, its hard to find a newer receiver with phono (or one that sounds good) this receiver truly delivers with all its capabilities. This receiver is one of the best you can get without spending a lot of money. Onkyo has truly delivered!

Good 2 channel receiver

I didn't need a 7.1 or even a 5.1 system, all I needed was a good two channel receiver/amplifier to go with 2 Sony bookshelf speakers left over from a previous component system. The Onkyo fits the bill just fine. It has plenty of power for my wants and has alot of connection options. I have my TV, CD and DVD hooked up to it and it still has a couple of open connections. The sound, including the internal FM radio, is very good to my old, untrained ears. So far the unit has met all of my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relatively simple 2 channel receiver.

It's black, electronic, belongs to my wife, and it works. When my wife cranks up her crappy music on it, she smiles. What else could I ask?
