Onkyo brings TX-SR876 / TX-NR906 THX Ultra2 Plus receivers to the States

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 16th 2008 at 11:45AM

Onkyo has already introduced the top-end TX-SR876 and TX-NR906 receivers over in the UK, but for USers awaiting word of their stateside release, let us do the honors. Both of the 7.1-channel THX Ultra2 Plus AVRs are now shipping in America, and as for specifications, you're looking at 140- / 145-watts per channel (respectively), audio decoding courtesy of three Texas Instruments Aureus 32-bit DSP chips, internal decoding for "every major sound format in use today," and HQV Reon-VX video upscaling to 1080p. The pain? $1,799 and $2,299 in order of mention.

These receivers are ridiculous. In a good way.

True. Unfortunately, Onkyo's customer service is ridiculous. In a very bad way. Try googling "onkyo firmware"
