Smooth, powerful sound quality ; Astonishing amount of features ; Attractive new external design

Could be a little more refined with music ; No multichannel analogue inputs ; Front sockets not covered

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...

Excellent build ; breathtaking sound quality ; intuitive menus ; fine upscaling ; integrated Spotify service

AirPlay functionality would be nice

Home cinema amplifier Product of the Year, Awards 2011. An outrageously good amp for the money.

Comprehensive features ; Stunning sound quality

No analogue multichannel inputs

The Audyssey 2EQ auto setup works its magic with the supplied mic and test tones, or you can take the DIY option by delving into the onscreen set-up menu, which uses the same logical layout as last year's models but with swanky new fonts and graphics.

No analogue multichannel inputs

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, especially using the automatic speaker calibration.

The Onkyo TX-NR609 has six HDMI inputs and lots of built-in streaming music services, but it lacks AirPlay and doesn't sound quite as good to our ears as some competitors.

Huge feature set, with an exciting and gutsy sound

Not very subtle; some limitations to streaming services

A remarkable product for £500 and very capable in a number of areas
