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 with agreeable quality.

Very good for most listeners

"I bought the Onkyo TX8222 receiver for a medium priced sysstem with two stereo speakers, turntable, CD changer, and tape deck. Much of the listening would be classical, so I wanted clean sound. I've listened to it with various combinations of sources and with three excellent speaker systems (ADS 810, EPI-100, Polk R300). I was able to compare the sound with that of other older receiver / amps (Sansui Eight, Sa..." Read Full Review »

nice features, sounds ok

"I bought this unit to replace a vintage amp that quit working. This new receiver has all the features i wanted and upon inspection i believe it is sturdy and will last many years. I am slighlty dissappointed in the sound quality wich seems to lack some umph and isnt quite as crisp as my vintage amp was. but I am not willing to spend more money on a high end model. Maybe I just wanted it to sound like my old amp ..." Read Full Review »

"I needed to replace an elderly amplifier and tuner with something straightforward that could handle two sets of speakers. My speakers didn't warrant anything high-end but I definitely wanted a receiver that had an input for my turntable as well as all the other components. The Onkyo TX8222 had wha …" Read Full Review »

"At this price point, there is nothing like the TX8222. It has all of the traditional Onkyo virtues, i.e., built like a tank with discrete amp output circuitry, diecast heat sinks, a big power supply, a well-ventilated metal case, banana-plug speaker connections, and it's capable of handling any spe …" Read Full Review »
