Onkyo HT-S9100THX 7.1 Channel Receiver and Speaker Package Reviews

After a good 7 months using this system I'm as happy as when I received and connected it. I used the tips and advice provided on the reviews here and AVS forum (i.e. speakers cable, space to cool down, etc) and the unit continues to amaze me on a daily basis. I still have to get a Harmony One remote, but that's minor details. I'm using HDMI cables...

Bottom line: Running it since March '09... just wonderfully!

I've had this for about a year now and it is working flawlessly. Lots of good reviews here read them all. I'll simply repeat to emphasize a few details. Best HTIB on the market period. Automatic speaker calibration with included microphone. Fantastic sound. Yes speakers are big and heavy. Which I believe goes hand in hand with fantastic sound....

Bottom line: Best HTIB on the market

Having been an Onkyo "head" for years, I am very impressed by the 9100. I was replacing a mis-mash of Infinity/Bose speakers and a Onkyo TX-DS575 receiver. My old setup sounded good, but WOW, my new setup sounds even better! I was looking at upgrading my old setup with either speakers or a new amp. After reading about the 9100, I took the plunge....

Bottom line: Top notch!

It's good that they build the box so well, because it's real heavy so the shippers just kick it, push it, and drag it. But that seems to be what I'm finding with Onkyo, they know what there doing. This is my second theater system in a year. The last one I put in sold with the house. I find them very easy to set up. You have to buy speaker wire,...

Bottom line: Surround Sound

I have really enjoyed this system. Only had it a few weeks and my what a difference in the sound compared to my 15 year old system I previously had. Hook up was not that bad. Now I just need to read through the manual to learn about what all this system can do. There are alot of options where I could utilize the system better. But for just...

Bottom line: Great System

I recently built a "media room" in my basement, and I have teamed this system up with a Samsung TV and a Panasonic Blu-ray player. All are connected through HDMI. First, the speakers sound good. Really good. I'm no audophile or fanatic, but I've heard crappy speakers before and these are decent. One thing, though, right off the bat: Get rid of...

Bottom line: Work for me, and work well.

Never recieved item ordered, supplying company: Stereo Advantage shipped a HT-S990thx system, older and less value, when I told them they offered discount, but system didnot interface with newer HDTV's. I did get a refund, but not the product that I wanted.

Bottom line: SWITCHED

I'm not an audiophile but a decent judge of quality and decided after a lot of research to buy this system. The only change I recommend is larger speaker wire and a higer quality sub woofer cable as the ones that come with it are crappy. The system was everything I had hoped for and gets lots of wows from everyone that experiences it. One...

Bottom line: great system

The other reviews tell you pretty much everything good you need to know about this system. I used to own the Onkyo SKS-HT500 speaker system with a TX-SR600 receiver, and this system outdoes that one by a mile, on sound alone, let alone the new HDMI connectivity, THX rating, and numerous other state-of-the-art features. Great sound and fairly easy...

Bottom line: Onkyo does it again! -- The best HTIB money can buy.

I've had the Onkyo HT-S9100THX for about a month now and completly enjoy the sound. The speakers take about an hour to set up. I recommend using speaker stands. Home Goods had some nice looking stands that are inexpensive. It is important to layout the speakers with the spacing shown in the manual for the best surround sound experience. The...

Bottom line: Awesome sound clarity

Setup was easy, especially with the included microphone & balancing system. I bought heavier speaker wire cause I had to run the wires over a series of fluorescent lights & was worried about getting a hum out of the speakers. Maybe I could have gotten away with the wire that came with the unit but... Anyway, I synched the AV receiver to my...

Bottom line: Great sound!

We are highly impressed with this surround sound system. Great quality of sound, makes you feel as though you are in the theater:)

Bottom line: This is a great system!

I had been eyeballing this HTIB for3 months and wish I jumped on it as soon as it was available since the price has crept up close to the MSRP. This THX I/S does not disappoint. I have it set up in a 14'x15' living room, per the THX recommendations and absolutely love it. I have a Sammy 46", Panasonic BR player, 6 CD changer, cable, and xbox360...

Bottom line: Awesome HTIB that will not disappoint!

I listened to several different receivers before I selected this one. I unpacked the box, connected all the speakers and with no adjustment at all could not believe the sound quality. Solid high treble - full rich mid tones and booming bass. This system has it all. After placing it in my family room I positioned the speakers and ran the auto...

Bottom line: Fabulous system

As a previous owner of a Yamaha 700 watt receiver with 7.1 Bose speakers, I think this system is superior in many ways. Although this system is louder, it's not as loud as an additional 500 watts would suggest. Still, the sound is enhanced mainly due to THX digital processing. This receiver is actually lighter than my previous unit due to the...

Bottom line: Perfect system for small to medium sized rooms

I must say, I have been very pleased with this unit. It was delivered in a very large box that was beat up a bit. I didn't see any immediate damage when I looked in the box, it wasn't until I had taken out the sub until I noticed one of the 4 footrests had been partially crushed. However, I haven't had any problems. The Audyssey(SP?) auto EQ...

Bottom line: Simple setup with high-fidelity and future proof connectivity!

Onkyo HT-S9100THX 7.1 Channel Receiver and Speaker Package Onkyo's HT-S9100THX 7.1 Channel Surround Receiver & Speaker package provides a solution for multiple HDMI devices to connect to a single input HDMI television. I have a DVR, HD DVD & 5 Disc DVD player all connected to my TV thru my Onkyo receiver and can control all the devices...

Bottom line: Onkyo HT-S9100THX 7.1 Channel Surround package

Excellent sound quality for HTIB. Faithfully reproduces everything from music, to movies, to video games. Great surround sound accuracy/immersion. The speakers are well constructed and easy to set up... the Audyssey EQ microphone makes for quick calibration. I love the variety of inputs on the receiver... there's also a great selection of decoders...

Bottom line: Excellent Value

Just finished hooking up this system, and it is fabulous; I couldn't be happier. And better yet, I received a HUGE, 50% discount! Seems someone in Raleigh, NC initially ordered this system, but declined the shipment due to a minor scuff on the box. Everything inside the box was in *perfect* working order, however. Another top notch, five star...

Bottom line: Fantastic System!

I recently added this product to my living room for my Sony 52XBR5 and PS3. I must say, after setting everything up, which did take quite a bit of time, I am stunned at the level of performance. I purchased this product for $750 and there is absolutely nothing I can say that could give this HTIB justice. Runs DTS-MA and TrueHD with ease through the...

Bottom line: Simply the best HTIB!
