Onkyo HT-S9100THX

Finding a home theater can be tough with the numerous products that exist from places like Bose, Sony, and even Onkyo.  If you are looking for a home theater this review of the Onkyo HT-S9100THX might help you make a choice.  This home theater system sells for $999 to $1099 depending on where you purchase it from. 

The good news regarding this theater system is its audio quality.  It has 7.1 surround sound speaker system complete with a full size speaker array and subwoofer.  It is a component AV receiver with four HDMI inputs.  It also has the ability for decoding Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.  The up conversion is analog to 1080i. 

Like with all products there are some cons regarding the Onkyo system.  The up conversion is not the best.  In fact the video quality is less than desirable considering the purchase price on the system.  The speakers are also rather large in their box as opposed to the other devices sold on the market today.  If décor is something you are concerned about in your home the larger home theater might detract from the looks of your room and be less than desirable. 

Overall the Onkyo HT S9100 provides a high number of HDMI inputs compared to some of the other high end stereos on the market.  The sound will give you an all around quality for the cost.  However, the cost is very high making it difficult for the average person to afford it even for the high quality sound and numerous inputs.  If you want to spend your income on the Onkyo you will not be disappointed in the product and you are now fully aware of its boxy looks.  In a comparison of other high end stereos the Onkyo is within the range of Sony and Bose for quality.
