When I first started selling audio, I sold most of the mainstream consumer gear. JVC, Pioneer, Sherwood, Sansui, Technics were the receivers of the day. However, Onkyo always stood out from the crowd. Well made and constructered, the Onkyo always sounded and performed bettter than its competiton. And they did cost about 10-15% more than its brethren. So, where I could, I would up sell the consumer to Onkyo. Looks like Onkyo is still on a roll with this new Blu-Ray player.
