I purchased the receiver used. He has the honor to fire 2 Canton Ergo RC-L with control unit. It is amazing how confidently the receiver operates this pair in stereo mode. The cantons require a lot of power to exhaust the low bass or make it audible and both in the upper and lower frequency spectrum they only dissolve cleanly if they can also be adequately fired in the low bass. After initial skepticism and about 2 weeks of "playing in", the combo TX-SV727 & Canton RCL to jeztz is absolutely convincing. Among other things, an HK-970 was tested and it was too undefined and spongy in the bass. At low frequencies, the onkyo comes across even blacker, deeper and more defined. Balanced mids and silky highs complete the sound picture. The pulse power is really extraordinary, sovereign power reserves are audibly available. During the blind test with his father-in-law, he thinks he hears a powerhouse of power amplifiers in the 4-digit price segment. If still needed to get, access.
Onkyo Receiver from the mid-90s with a powerful power amplifier of solid workmanship and a great RDS receiver part.
The 2 x 120 watts at 8 ohms ( 1KHZ DIN )specified in the instructions are produced by the thick transistors located on the outside of the heat sink.
The 4 smaller Toshiba transistors in the middle of the powerful cast iron heatsink are for surround rear and center speakers.
When switching to multiroom, you will be switched to a stereo amplifier that can reproduce a specially adjustable source independently of the other stereo speakers. 2 x 80 Watt sinuses are available. The volume is digital and can only be controlled via the remote control( RC-288 M ).
Onkyo a loudness function is atypical for this device.
In old age, the relays are prone to contact difficulties, which is noticeable by distortions and sound failure.
The 4 original VB 24 MBU relays cannot be opened, so they must be replaced. The Finder 40.52 24 VDC relay is suitable.
The contact legs for rest contacts must be pinched off, as well as the reduction of the connections for the control coil.
The housing bottom plate must be removed by cutting through the thin retaining webs, then you can easily get to the soldering points. Then fasten again with M3 threaded screws.
By the way, the speaker terminals are suitable for banana plugs, only the black cap has to be removed.
