Mr Peabody replied to a thread New amp / recommendation in Amplifiers

Definitely, Boulder & D'Agostino. I thought Pass was but on another thread someone said they may not be best for very low impedance. That may vary on model, in an interview Pass indicated building amps to drive low impedances is what got him...

Mr Peabody replied to a thread Onkyo Files for Bankruptcy in General Audio Discussion

This looks like trying to put a positive spin on the situation. 20 years or so Onkyo was leading the pack in HT receivers, maybe it was the HDMI issue, I was hit with it but they replaced my receiver, I eventually replaced it with marantz...

Shadowfax replied to a thread Onkyo Files for Bankruptcy in General Audio Discussion

My first real Tape Deck was when they badged them together as Onkyo-Integra. I have an Integra 30.3 HT and had it serviced once under warranty, same as an older HK. The first actual stereo I bought with my first Income Tax Return was an Onkyo...

You might enjoy a Marantz Reference model before they began including the DAC. I'm not overly familiar but warm was my thoughts when hearing an Audio Analogue integrated. Quad as well.
