Just what I was looking for! by Annette Clark on amazon.com Jun 5, 2012

I have been looking for a replacement stereo receiver for quite some time. I've studied different receivers and read others' reviews. I finally settled on the Onkyo TX-8050 and am very satisfied. Onkyo makes a high quality receiver and it fits my needs ...

Onkyo 8050 receiver by John W. Burton on vanns.com Apr 16, 2012

This receiver performed perfectly out of the box. It is very functional and easy to use receiver. I use them with a pair of Bose 901s and it sounds very solid. The remote with the unit is logically laid out, and I didnt have to go to manual to figure out basic functions.

Onkyo TX-8050 by The Builder on crutchfield.com Feb 10, 2012

This receiver is great if you just want great sound and basics for listening. I know it does not have HDMI connectors but then again folks its not an AV switcher. This is what basic AMPs use to be back in the day. You do get a BONUS FEATURE !! The internet ...

I'm happy! by Larry on bhphotovideo.com Dec 25, 2011

I wanted this 2 channel receiver to play music from CDs and music files from my computer. The added bonus is the ability to connect to my Pandora account and play music. We have bad radio reception here, but that is no longer a problem with this receiver. ...

Great Purchase - Great Find!! Aug 16, 2011

I was looking for an internet radio that I could hook up to my 6 room home speakers. This is it! Although it is WiFi capable, and can be used this way, I hooked it to an ethernet cable for faster response. Free internet channels, thousands of them! ...

A VERY Bad experience... by cyclingone on amazon.com Jul 11, 2012

Purchased the Onkyo TX 8050 receiver on May 4 and 66 days later on July 10 it stopped working. It would keep turning off 3-5 seconds after being turned on. I tried unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds and then replugging it, and also doing a factory reset ...

Sorely disappointed by William A. Beissert on amazon.com Feb 18, 2012

I'm sure this thing was designed with some niche in mind but I'm not sure what it might have been. It was a gift so, basically, it was foisted upon me and not really a choice. Receivers (AM/FM) are nothing to rave about....AM especially. I have a clock ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver (Black)

The sound optimizer for playing MP3s works well overall in smoothing out the clipping MP3s have especially in those low kb bit rates from Pandora, etc...There are several, but minor and wouldn't change my mind from recommending it...The whole time I just assumed that good networked stereo receivers would be easy to come by for not much money - but it turns out I was wrong...
