[Beema]

Hello Forum,
I am a new member here.
Does anyone heard/owned Onkyo TX-SR706 A/V Receiver?
Any expert comments on PURE AUDIO function added to this receiver?
The receiver sounds alright playing CDs with PURE AUDIO function ON.

Sorry I forgot to mention, the Speakers used with this ONKYO TX-SR706 Receiver is Soundstage BFX10 & Soundstage 3D5(Sub).

Beema,
This is an excellent good performing receiver that is a great value. It tested very well and got good marks by Sound and Vision magazine. I have one in my small getaway house theater, and I have been very satisfied with it pushing a full 7.1 system built around the ADS L300 mini monitors - a very difficult 4ohm speaker system to drive with a receiver.

With pure audio it shuts down all of the video circuits so it cuts down on interference from those circuits. The two channel sound is very clean and full sounding, and distortion free based on measurements.

A4L usually sells "refurbished" gear. Gear that had a problem and was repaired by the company or a 3rd party. If you're not frightened of said prospect... go ahead. I bought one refurbed receiver and regretted it.
