Not very subtle
Some limitations to streaming services
There's no built-in AirPlay support
So the Onkyo TX-NR609 wouldn't be our top choice if you have an iOS device. It also doesn't sound quite as good as the Pioneer and Denon

We didn't think it was possible for Onkyo to improve on the superb TX-SR608 but incredibly it has. Everything we loved about last year's model can be found on the TX-NR609 but mixed in with a bunch of new features that feel like so much more than mere gim...
Abstract: More-or-less maintaining the chunky black look of last year's range (though silver models are available too) the Onkyo TX-NR609 is a satisfyingly sturdy affair. Source and Mode controls are placed along a thin groove within the flat face of the recei...
