As some of you guys know I am debating wheather I get the Onkyo 608 or 707 to match a Polk entry level set up.. Personally I have always loved the "forward-in your face" sound typical of Onkyo receivers. Reminds of being in the sweet spot in the pit at a live Show. But many critiques have often stated the forward sound, in there personal opinion, was a bit over the top at times. "What Hi Fi" the bible of Audio from England has been one of the vocal critiques (from time to time) in respect to the forward sounding (gonna bite your fu@king head off) Onkyo's. The review below really has me thinking about the "refined" engineering of the 608. Never heard it side by side with any other Onkyo and am curious if there is merit to the review.
Please have a read. Would love to hear your comments. Is it really refined? Is it toned down a notch? Or it is a "new ballgame"?
