Re-writing the rule book one more time, Onkyo present the TX-SR506 7-channel AV receiver. Onkyo AV receivers have dominated the integrated amplifier market for the past year thanks to a combination of great sound, sophisticated connectivity, a plethora of advanced features and great value prices. The predecessor to the TXSR506, the TXSR505, picked up the 'What HiFi?' award for best receiver under £300 in the awards issue 2007. This is no mean feat. The TX SR506 somehow manages to improve on the 505 by adding an additional HDMI input, making that 3 HDMI inputs and 1 output, more than enough to connect your Sky HD box, Blu-ray player and games console and switch between them with the touch of a button. And the great part, Onkyo have kept the price point exactly the same, meaning you now get even more for your money!

The Onkyo TX-SR506 supports Audyssey 2EQ and Audyssey Dynamic EQ auto setup, an ease of use feature which allows you to place a supplied microphone in the centre of the room and the amp will calibrate the levels accordingly, allowing you to maximise your systems performance. With a power rating of 130wpc, the Onkyo TXSR506 is capable of running mid sized speakers in mid sized rooms and deliver breathtaking audio performance unrivalled at its price.
